Industry Outlook

The market is growing owing to the growing number of bacterial and viral infections globally, and medical treatment costs have seen dramatic growth globally. In recent years increasing demand for over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, as well as prescription-strength pain relievers. These medications are in high demand owing to the rising incidence of ailments, including migraine and arthritis, as well as a growing emphasis on self-medication. Topical patches and extended-release tablets are two instances of novel formulations and delivery systems that are improving patient compliance and treatment efficacy, which is propelling market expansion.

The Over-counter (OTC) Sub-Segment Is Anticipated To Hold a Considerable Share of the Global Antipyretic Drug Market
It is projected that the over-the-counter (OTC) subsegment will account for a sizeable portion of the global antipyretic drug market owing to its accessibility, cost, and growing consumer desire for self-medication. The fact that common medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and paracetamol are accessible without a prescription makes them practical for treating pain and fever. Demand has also increased as fever-related disorders such as the flu and viral infections have grown more common. Strong marketing plans and regulatory clearances from organizations such as the FDA and EMA also help the industry expand. As over-the-counter medications are less expensive than prescription equivalents, customers find them appealing. The market is predicted to continue to dominate as self-care habits continue to grow, despite worries about abuse and overdose hazards.
