Tablet, by Dosage Form, to Dominate Paracetamol Market During 2022–2030

According to our new research study on "Paracetamol Market Size and Forecast (2020–2030), Global and Regional Share, Trend, and Growth Opportunity Analysis," the market is expected to grow from US$ 9,993.29 million in 2022 to US$ 14,254.44 million by 2030; it is anticipated to record a CAGR of 4.5% from 2022 to 2030. Key factors driving the market are the high prevalence of pain and fever conditions and rising consumer preference for over-the-counter (OTC) medications. However, the effects of paracetamol overdose hinder the growth of the market.

Paracetamol is commonly utilized for alleviating mild to moderate pain and controlling fever with significant efficacy. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), acetaminophen (paracetamol) is the most preferred drug to treat fever and pain. The high prevalence of infectious diseases fuels the demand for paracetamol. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), seasonal influenza causes 290,000–650,000 deaths annually across the world. Similarly, as per CDC estimates, the cases of illnesses caused by influenza rose from 9.4 million to 41 million in the US during 2010–2022. Paracetamol is combined with other medications to treat conditions such as cough, cold, flu, and allergy. Similarly, drugs containing a combination of paracetamol and other active ingredients are widely prescribed to treat severe pain. For instance, its combination with nimesulide or diclofenac is used for the treatment of conditions such as fever, muscle pain, dental pain, headache, ankylosing spondylitis, mild migraine, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and painful menses. Similarly, paracetamol, in combination with aceclofenac and serratiopeptidase, is used to lower swelling and relieve pain in muscle pain, postoperative pain, joint pain, and other conditions. Therefore, as the prevalence of such health issues continues to rise globally, the demand for paracetamol as a widely trusted and accessible pain relief option contributes significantly to its demand. Thus, the growing incidence of pain-related ailments and fever propels the paracetamol market growth.
