Market Drivers:

Morphine is a quintessential pain medication which is prescribed by licensed medical practitioners to the patients with acute or chronic pain. The increased use of morphine by the patients suffering from cancer, arthritis, myocardial infarction and other diseases is driving the expansion of the global medical morphine market. Increasing geriatric population and prevalence of diseases like arthritis, cancer and others are inducing demand for morphine in the market, leading to the growth of the global medical morphine market.

The application of medical morphine as a slow-release formulation for opiate substitution therapy (OST) in various countries such as Austria, Slovenia and others is fueling the growth of the global medical morphine market.

The stringent regulatory framework imposed by the government to limit the amount of morphine to be prescribed owing to the high abuse rate of morphine is acting as a restraint on the expansion of the global medical morphine market. The market's expansion is anticipated to be inhibited by medical morphine addiction, which leads to drug misuse. The market is likely to face challenges as a result of the restricted regulatory scenario.
