Rising prevalence of pain and fever is a significant driver of the market, particularly in hospital and clinical settings.
Acute pain and febrile conditions are common symptoms associated with various medical conditions, including post-surgical recovery, trauma, infections, and chronic illnesses.
Intravenous paracetamol is increasingly preferred in these cases due to its rapid onset of action, effective pain relief, and antipyretic properties, especially when oral administration is not feasible.
Additionally, the growing number of surgical procedures and hospital admissions for critical care is further boosting the demand for paracetamol IV, as it provides a reliable alternative to opioids, reducing the risk of addiction and adverse effects.
This trend aligns with the global emphasis on improving pain management and patient outcomes, driving market growth.
