Additionally, behavioral therapies, like cognitive-behavioral therapy, addiction therapeutics and contingency management, are commonly used in the treatment of addictions.

The market landscape depends on the Alcoholic beverage sales, wine sales, beer sales, spirits sales, ciders and coolers sales. The use of subsidies and insurance coverage for addiction treatment is also a significant factor in market growth. The market for addictions therapeutics is expected to continue expanding in the coming years, as new treatments and interventions are developed and the stigma surrounding addiction continues to decrease.. Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2023 as the base year, and 2024 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
One of the key factors driving growth in the market is the high consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and opioid products. The high consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and opioids globally drives the growth of the market. Despite increasing awareness about and stringent regulations on the consumption of these products, the market has witnessed an increase in the consumption of alcohol, opioids, and tobacco products. Opioids are a type of narcotic pain medication that is available as a therapy for the treatment of moderate-to-severe pain in many developed countries.
However, the misuse and abuse of opioids lead to opioid tolerance and addiction. The high consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and opioid products on a daily basis can lead to a strong desire or sense of compulsion to consume the substance. This results in complications in controlling substance use behavior in terms of its onset, termination, and levels of use, which leads to substance use disorder, also known as substance dependency. Owing to the high consumption of these substances, the prevalence of substance use disorders has increased globally. Hence, the high consumption of these substances increases the prevalence of addiction globally, thereby driving market growth.
The increasing R&D of novel drugs is another factor supporting the market share growth in coming years. Due to the increasing consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and opioid products, the demand for novel therapeutics to treat substance use disorders has increased. Therefore, several companies are focusing on the development of novel therapeutics to treat substance use disorders.
Opiant Pharmaceuticals is developing OPNT002, nasal naltrexone, which produces rapid and strong increases in the plasma level and blocks the opioid receptor. As per the studies, OPNT002 offers some significant advantages over current treatment options by addressing the challenges faced by alcohol use disorder patients.
Adial Pharmaceutical is developing AD04 (ondansetron), a genetically targeted therapeutic agent for alcohol use disorder. AD04 can be used to treat other addictive disorders, such as opioid use disorder, obesity, and smoking MediciNova is developing MN-166 (ibudilast) to treat methamphetamine addiction. The company has completed a Phase II study of MN-166 for methamphetamine dependence. Amygdala Neurosciences is also developing ANS-6637, an oral aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 inhibitor. The drug modifies dopaminergic tone in the brain by preventing abnormal dopamine surges that drive craving without changing basal dopamine levels. The strong R&D and pipeline of addiction therapeutics are expected to drive the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The presence of generics will be a major challenge for the market during the forecast period. The presence of generic drugs impacts the market, as the price of generic drugs is almost half the price of branded drugs. With an increase in the number of ANDA approvals, more generic drug manufacturers have entered the market, which is intensifying the competition in the market. The competition among generic drug makers is based on the low prices of generic drugs. The entry of generic drugs into the market leads to price wars that reduce drug prices. This impacts the overall market growth, as a reduction in drug prices leads to less revenue generation in the market.
The global market has the presence of branded and generic drug manufacturers. Owing to the loss of patents, many generic drug manufacturers, such as Cipla, Mylan, Teva Pharmaceutical, and InnoPharma Inc., have received generic drug approvals from the US FDA to market generic drugs such as acamprosate calcium. Since several generic manufacturers have entered the market, generic drugs have become more affordable than branded drugs. Thus, patent expiry and the growing penetration of generic drugs may impede the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
The market forecasting report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their market growth and forecasting strategies.
