Which Key Drivers Are Powering Growth In The Pain Patch Market?

An increase in pain disorders is projected to fuel the expansion of the pain patch market in the future. These disorders are defined as any physical ailment where pain is the main characteristic. Factors such as psychological stress, inflammatory diseases, and physical trauma or injury contribute to the development of pain disorders. Pain patches address pain disorders by administering medication transdermally, directly into the bloodstream, via a regulated and continuous release of drugs over an extended duration. For example, in December 2023, data from the Scottish Health Survey 2022, released by the Scottish Government, a government department based in Scotland, revealed that in 2022, over one-third (38%) of adults in Scotland experienced persistent pain or discomfort for three months or longer. This was more common among women (43%) than men (33%). Consequently, the growing incidence of pain disorders is set to boost the growth of the pain patch market.
