An analgesic or painkiller is any member of the group of drugs used for achieving analgesia or relief from pain. Analgesic drugs act in different ways on the peripheral and central nervous systems. They mostly include paracetamol or acetaminophen, the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as the salicylates, and opioid drugs, including morphine and oxycodone. Analgesics are taken to relieve pain that can arise from appendicitis, surgery, infection, headaches, mensuration, cancer, pain syndromes, sprains, strains, toothache, etc.

The North America analgesics market is currently driven by several factors. The rising geriatric population suffering from incurable health issues, such as joint pain, has stimulated the demand for pain treatment therapies. These therapies employ different types of analgesics, thus catalyzing the market growth in the region. Moreover, the prevalence of osteoarthritis, cardiovascular diseases and cancer have substantially risen in the region, which has also induced the demand for analgesics. Furthermore, the growing number of surgeries, coupled with the penetration of effective pain management medications is expected to fuel the growth of the market during the next few years. Apart from this, availability of analgesics drugs in forms of gels, creams, sprays and oral tablets has made them consumer friendly.
