The increasing incidence of chronic illnesses and the high prevalence of opioid abuse are likely to contribute to the growth of the Latin American methadone market. According to WHO, chronic diseases are the leading cause of premature death and disability across many countries. In 2015, 45% of deaths among men and women under 70 were responsible for two out of three deaths in the total population.

Methadone maintenance therapy has reduced the transmission of blood viruses associated with injecting opioids, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV. The primary aim of methadone maintenance therapy is to relieve cravings for opioid use, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and suppress the euphoric effects caused by opioids. Chronic extended administration of methadone will lead to neuroadaptation, which results in tolerance and withdrawal syndrome.

However, when used correctly in treatment, maintenance therapy is medically safe, non-sedating, and can slow recovery from opioid addiction. Currently, methadone is widely used in pregnant women dependent on opioids. However, it is expected to find niche growth in the studied market during the years to come.

Acute encephalopathy is detected in methadone intoxicated patients, where an MRI of the brain is beneficial for detecting methadone-induced encephalopathy. The increasing dominance of this disease among young people and the improving medical facilities for drug-abuse people are also driving the growth of this market. In addition, the increase in drug-related R&D activities, the growing number of people addicted to various opioids such as heroin and morphine, etc., increased awareness and adoption of methadone for pain management will positively impact the Latin American methadone market during the period 2023 - 2028.

The adverse effects of methadone are identical to those of other opioids, such as constipation, dizziness, drowsiness, abnormal heart rhythms, vomiting, and sweating, and respiratory depression. The risks are more significant when associated with higher doses, even causing death. In addition, continuous use of methadone can be misused and lead to addiction. The number of deaths due to methadone infection increased from 3,300-4500 in 2015-2019. Due to all these factors, methadone is used under supervision and used only for a limited group of people; this may restrain the market. In addition, strict government approval will create substantial barriers to the Latin American methadone market growth.
