Report Code: HCR 1510 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Antipyretics Market Overview

Antipyretics Market Size is estimated to reach $3.1 billion by 2027 and it is poised to grow at a CAGR of 1.6% over the forecast period of 2022-2027. Antipyretics agents have been used for over millennia to suppress fever from bacterial infection or viral fever. The essential elements of the fever physiologic pathway are the release of pyrogenic cytokines by inflammatory cells in response to some exogenous pyrogen (infection) and induction of cyclooxygenase (COX) 2 activation of the arachidonic acid cascade. Some of the most common forms of medicines/ products which exhibit the following characteristics are paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, corticosteroids and other NSAIDs along with para-aminophenol derivative acetaminofen (Tylenol). Antipyretics are also commonly revered as antipyretic analgesic drugs. The medications work by expatiating the blood vessels present below the skin surface, thereby, providing more blood flow through the skin- providing cooling capacities to reduce fever. Owing to an increasing geriatric population exasperated by a growing number of viral and bacterial infections across the globe, the antipyretics industry is well positioned to grow during the forecast period of 2022-2027.
