Researchmoz added Most up-to-date research on "Synthetic Opioids Market In North America: Large Number of Prescriptions of Oxycodone and Hydrocodone Amplifying the Semi-Synthetic Opioids Market" to its huge collection of research reports.

Manufacturers of opioids have witnessed tremendous growth in consumption in the last decade. This stupendous growth can be attributed to the absence of regulatory policies and lack of product knowledge among physicians. However, the scenario has changed and now, companies are facing challenges from reformed regulations. Hence, in order to sustain in such a regulatory environment, companies are now focusing on the development of more advanced forms of opioids that strictly adhere to the prescription and manufacturing regulations. 

In a new report on the North America synthetic opioids market titled North America Synthetic Opioids Market: Global Industry Analysis and Forecast 2016-2024, the analysts of Persistence Market Research have observed that pharmaceutical companies are highly focused on the development of tamper evident opioid drugs, owing to the high misuse of opioids. Companies are taking measures to develop non-abuse drug formulations to prohibit the misuse of opioids. For example, in July 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the newer form of OxyContin, a type of non-abuse opioid drug. The report further states that the U.S market holds the maximum share of opioid sales. After phenomenal growth in opioid sales, the market has become stagnant over the past few years, due to several regulations and restrictions on prescription drugs.
