What Are the Core Market Drivers Propelling Growth in the Controlled Substance Industry?

The growth of the controlled substance market is predicted to be propelled by the escalating demand for medically prescribed drugs. These prescription medications, intended for the treatment, therapy, rectification, or prevention of disease, are often controlled substances themselves. The inclusion of these prescribed drugs in the controlled substance market is advantageous as they can improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary expenditures. For example, a report released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), a US federal agency, in September 2024, indicated that spending on prescription drugs saw a surge of 8.4% to $405.9 billion in 2022, in contrast to the 6.8% rise in 2021. Thus, the growing demand for medically prescribable drugs serves as a driving force for the controlled substance market’s expansion.
