Addictions Therapeutics Global Market Report 2024

The addictions therapeutics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.56 billion in 2023 to $7.01 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the increased use of addictive substances such as alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, a growing awareness and prevalence of substance abuse disorders, the legalization of marijuana in various states, and increased funding and support for addiction treatment initiatives. These elements collectively contributed to the expansion of efforts and resources dedicated to addressing addiction-related challenges and promoting treatment and recovery.

The addictions therapeutics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.83 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to various factors, including the proliferation of drug awareness campaigns, the emergence of synthetic drugs and new psychoactive substances, changing lifestyles and increased stress factors, the expansion of rehabilitation facilities, and the integration of telehealth services in addiction treatment. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological advancements in diagnostics, neuroscientific advances, partnerships and collaborations between pharmaceutical companies and other stakeholders to address addiction issues, and the launch of innovative drugs for addiction therapeutics. These trends collectively contribute to the evolution and improvement of addiction treatment approaches and solutions.

The projected rise in alcohol consumption stands as a significant driver propelling the growth of the addiction therapeutics market. Alcohol consumption entails the intake of beverages containing ethyl alcohol, and addiction therapeutics aim to address alcohol-related addiction by moderating its depressive effects and reinstating the balance between neurotransmitters. These therapeutics help reduce alcohol cravings, alleviate withdrawal symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, and restlessness, thereby encouraging reduced alcohol consumption. Notably, a report by Statistics Canada in February 2023 revealed a noteworthy surge in alcoholic beverage sales at retail outlets and liquor authorities, reaching $26.1 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 - an increase of 2.4% from the previous year. Wine sales also experienced a 2.1% uptick, reaching $8.1 billion in the same period. Beer constituted 34.9% of total alcohol sales value in 2021–2022, followed by wine at 31.3%, spirits at 25.8%, and ciders and coolers at 8.0%. Consequently, the escalating alcohol consumption is fueling the demand for addiction therapeutics.

The burgeoning healthcare expenditure globally is poised to foster the expansion of the addiction therapeutics market. Healthcare expenditure encompasses the financial resources directed towards healthcare-related goods and services over a specific period, contributing significantly to the growth of addiction therapeutics. Increased healthcare expenditure facilitates improved treatment accessibility, supports research and development initiatives, promotes the adoption of innovative therapies, and enhances comprehensive healthcare services for substance use disorders. As illustrated by the 2021–2030 National Health Expenditure (NHE) report from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in March 2022, the projected growth indicates an average annual increase of 5.1% in national health spending between 2021 and 2030, culminating in nearly $6.8 trillion. Notably, Medicare spending is expected to rise by 7.2% annually, while Medicaid spending will grow at a 5.6% annual rate from 2021 to 2030. This upsurge in healthcare expenditure serves as a driving force propelling the expansion of the addiction therapeutics market.

Prominent players within the addiction therapeutics market are actively pioneering innovative solutions, particularly drugs aimed at addressing cocaine use disorders (CUD), to cater to broader customer bases, amplify sales, and augment revenue streams. Drugs developed for CUD are specifically crafted medications intended to assist individuals grappling with cocaine addiction or dependence. An exemplar in this domain unfolded in January 2023 when Tempero Bio, a US-based biopharmaceutical firm, revealed the FDA's approval for TMP-301, its investigational candidate. This distinct product distinguishes itself as a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) negative allosteric modulator (NAM), uniquely tailored to combat CUD. TMP-301's standout characteristics lie in its potency, selectivity, and oral availability, aimed at effectively curbing the hyperactive glutamate signaling associated with CUD.

Key industry players within the addiction therapeutics sector are strategically embracing partnerships to tackle nicotine addiction through smartphone interventions.
