Anesthesia Drugs Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)


Posted April 26, 2021 by Statzyreports

The Anesthesia Drugs Market is expected to value USD 6,071 million in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 7,523 million in 2026, registering a CAGR of nearly 3.64% during the forecast period.
 
The demand for anesthetic drugs observed a slight decline in 2020 due to the emergence of the pandemic situation, leading to delayed or canceled surgeries. According to the study published in the British Journal of Surgery, in May 2020, based on a 12-week period of peak disruption to hospital services due to COVID-19, around 28.4 million elective surgeries worldwide was estimated to be canceled or postponed in 2020. However, as the activities are resuming, all the elective surgeries that were held up are also being performed now, thereby rising the consumption of anesthetic drugs.

Furthermore, the primary factors propelling the growth of this market are the rising number of surgeries and new anesthetic drug approval. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery report, in 2019, the volume of plastic surgeries performed globally observed an increase of about 7.4% in comparison to the last year (2018). This indicates the rising number of surgeries, which ultimately results in the rising demand for anesthesia drugs.

Also, according to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, by 2050, one in four persons living in Europe and Northern America could be aged 65 or over. An increase in the elderly population has led to a steep increase in the number of chronic diseases in the elderly like cardiovascular, neurological further leading to the rising demand for anesthesia drugs.

Moreover, in June 2019, Fresenius Kabi announced the immediate availability of Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, a medication for sedation of non-intubated patients before and/or during surgical and other procedures. Hence, this is expected to propel the growth of the anesthesia drugs market.
