The topical analgesic market is growing due to the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and preference for non-invasive pain relief. Fueled by advanced formulations and strategic initiatives, the global market is projected to reach $18.56 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025. This growth is driven by rising awareness of alternative therapies and a shift towards natural and over-the-counter options, favored for their fewer side effects compared to oral medications.
