For instance, as per the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), an estimated 31.1% of U.S. adults experience some form of anxiety disorder at some time in their lives. Thus, rising incidence of anxiety disorders increases the demand for effective treatments, thereby fostering the market growth. Additionally, the rise in mental health awareness and the growing acceptance of pharmacological interventions for mental health conditions contribute to the market growth.

Further, the aging population is also a significant factor, as older adults are more susceptible to anxiety and sleep disorders, leading to higher prescription rates of benzodiazepines. Additionally, ongoing research and development efforts focused on the development of novel formulations and indications for benzodiazepines are expected to drive market growth.

Benzodiazepines are a class of psychoactive drugs that are used to treat a range of conditions, including anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy treatment, and alcohol withdrawal. They work by enhancing the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which helps to reduce neuronal excitability and produce calming effects.
