Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression (OIRD) Market

Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression (OIRD) Market

Introduction
Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression (OIRD) is one of the most severe and life-threatening side effects associated with opioid use, both in medical and non-medical contexts. Characterized by dangerously slowed or halted breathing, OIRD is a leading cause of opioid-related mortality worldwide. As the use of opioids in pain management continues and illicit opioid misuse rises, the global demand for effective prevention and reversal agents is accelerating.
The market is seeing significant momentum with the growing adoption of naloxone formulations, long-acting opioid antagonists, and next-generation rescue therapies. Coupled with supportive government programs and rising public health awareness, the OIRD market, valued at USD $1.2 billion in 2024, is expected to reach USD $2.8 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period.
