Nutraceuticals are emerging as a popular non-opioid treatment option for pain management. Products containing ingredients like turmeric, ginger, omega-3 fatty acids, and other herbs that have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties are gaining prominence. Likewise, cannabidiol (CBD) products are witnessing high demand for therapeutic uses including pain management. However, CBD remains controversial as a medicine due to legal restrictions in many countries. Another major trend is the adoption of non-drug therapies like acupuncture, massage, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and spinal manipulation for pain relief with lesser side effects. These complementary and alternative therapies are preferred along with medications to manage chronic pain holistically without relying only on drugs.
The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs segment is expected to hold the dominant position in the drug type segment during the forecast period. NSAIDs are widely used for the treatment of pain as they provide relief from pain and inflammation. NSAIDs work by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that promote pain and inflammation. Some common NSAIDs include ibuprofen, naproxen and diclofenac.
The musculoskeletal disorder segment is anticipated to be the most lucrative segment by indication during the forecast period. Musculoskeletal disorders are common conditions that affect the human body's movement or musculoskeletal system such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, discs and blood vessels. Conditions such as back pain, arthritis and injuries are primary causes of musculoskeletal disorders. Non-opioid treatments are widely used to manage pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders.

The absorption of drugs is relatively fast through the skin and provides direct sensation of pain relief.
The online pharmacies distribution channel segment is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to the convenience of online platforms for purchase of medications without visiting a pharmacy physically. Online pharmacies provide a wide range of pain medication options with detailed information. They also offer attractive deals and discounts. Increased internet penetration and preference of e-commerce among younger population will support the growth of this segment.
