Ibuprofen Market
The ibuprofen market was valued at $100.0 million in 2023 and is projected to reach $213.6 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2024 to 2033.
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug popular for its efficacy in alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, and lowering fever. It belongs to the analgesics class of medications which are used to ease mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, muscle aches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, and arthritis. The action mechanism of the medication involves inhibiting the production of prostaglandins inside the body, compounds that are the cause of pain and inflammation.
The versatility of ibuprofen in treating several health conditions is a key driver of the market. In addition, ibuprofen witnesses a high demand in several countries where it is accessible as over-the-counter medication, hence contributing to self-medication and elevating the convenience of customers. The market is currently witnessing an emerging trend of de-fossilization of pharmaceuticals. The typical source of formation of ibuprofen is from crude oils. Researchers at the University of Bath have recently discovered a method to develop the medication out of waste generated from the paper manufacturing industry. This discovery marks a significant step by the pharmaceuticals industry toward sustainability.
Despite its benefits, long-term usage of ibuprofen is known to cause severe side-effects such as cardiovascular risks, gastrointestinal complications, and kidney damage. These factors deter several individuals from the consumption of medication, hence restraining the market growth. According to a study posted by the British Medical Journal, ibuprofen is anticipated to elevate the risk of cardiac arrests by 31%. In a similar way, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences states that high uptake of ibuprofen in young healthy men results in less production of reproductive hormones and occurrence of compensated hypogonadism disorder.
