Legal Cocaine Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the legal cocaine industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge. 

Key Legal Cocaine Market Driver

One of the key factors driving growth in the market is the growing demand for pharmaceutical-grade cocaine. Cocaine is frequently used as a topical anaesthetic during outpatient procedures. Cocaine is used by healthcare professionals to temporarily numb the lining of the mouth, nose, and throat (mucous membranes) before certain medical procedures like biopsies, stitches, and wound cleaning. It is an anaesthetic that effectively induces numbness in the area about 1-2 minutes after application. Cocaine also causes blood vessels to narrow, which helps in decreasing bleeding and swelling from the procedure. Cocaine is ranked among the strongest anaesthetics and vasoconstrictors, which makes it an ideal option for use during sinus surgery as well as nasal procedures where bleeding and pain may pose major challenges. The cocaine hydrochloride solution is often soaked into a gauze or poured directly onto the body part that needs to be anaesthetized to numb the mucous membranes before minor surgeries, stitches, or biopsy. Mallinckrodt, a popular vendor in the global market, offers cocaine hydrochloride for various medicinal purposes. Therefore, the growing demand for pharmaceutical-grade cocaine is expected to drive the growth of the market significantly during the forecast period. 

Key Legal Cocaine Market Challenge

The side effects of excessive use of cocaine will be a major challenge for the market during the forecast period. Cocaine is listed among the most addictive drugs and presents a serious risk of substance abuse. Cocaine causes a short-lived and intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite intense depression, edginess, and a craving for more of the drug. Consumers who abuse cocaine regularly are often affected by eating and sleeping disorders and also experience significantly increased heart rate, muscle spasms, and convulsions. Consumers might also feel paranoid, angry, hostile, and anxious, even when they are not under the influence of cocaine. Irrespective of the amount or the frequency of consumption, cocaine increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, seizure, or respiratory (breathing) failure for the user. Some of the side effects of long-term and high-dose intake of cocaine include permanent damage to blood vessels of the heart and brain; high blood pressure; liver, kidney, and lung damage. Therefore, several health issues associated with excessive consumption of cocaine might reduce its demand, thereby hampering the growth of the global market during the forecast period.

46% of the market’s growth will originate from North America during the forecast period. The US is the key market for legal cocaine in North America. Market growth in this region will be slower than the growth of the market in other regions.

The market in the North American region is expected to witness a steady growth rate during the forecast period. The major drivers for the market in the region include growing medical applications of cocaine and increasing the production of legal cocaine. However, the market faces challenges from high sales of illegal cocaine. Countries such as the US and Mexico import high volumes of cocaine. Moreover, the US is the leading importer of coca leaf, which is used primarily for the extraction of flavouring agents and the manufacturing of cocaine as a by-product. Although the laws on cocaine consumption and production are very stringent and limited to medical purposes in the US, the rate of cocaine addiction is quite high in the country. This market research report entails detailed information on the competitive intelligence, marketing gaps, and regional opportunities in store for vendors, which will assist in creating efficient business plans.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis

The rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 impacted the market in the region. The US recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases (more than 35 million) as of May 31, 2021. The imposition of lockdowns by government authorities resulted in increased prices and local shortages of cocaine, resulting in reduced availability, which hampered the growth of the regional market. However, with the reopening of manufacturing units and the resumption of the international legal cocaine trade, the market is expected to grow in North America during the forecast period.

The market share growth by the surgical segment will be significant during the forecast period. For medical treatments, cocaine is used during procedures involving the upper respiratory tract. Also, cocaine faces competition from other synthetic local anaesthetics such as benzocaine, lidocaine, proparacaine, and tetracaine as they are easily available. Also, the major drawbacks of cocaine use are associated with its potential for cardiovascular toxicity, glaucoma, and pupil dilation. These factors could have a negative impact on the growth of legal cocaine for surgical applications. The effectiveness of cocaine in surgical applications has led to its increased applicability, which, in turn, is providing impetus to the growth of this segment.
