Global Palmitoylethanolamide Market Definition

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endogenous fatty acid amide, belonging to the class of nuclear factor agonists PEA has been studied in in vitro and in vivo systems using exogenously added or dosed compound; there is evidence that it binds to a nuclear receptor, through which it exerts a variety of biological effects, some related to chronic inflammation and pain. Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), also called palmitoylethanolamine or N-2 hydroxyethyl palmitamide), belongs to the family of N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), naturally occurring, biologically active lipids that act on cannabinoid receptor (CR2) and interact with inflammatory cells in the nervous system. Chronic pain and neuropathic pain are indications for which there is high unmet need in the clinic. PEA has been tested in a variety of animal models for chronic and neuropathic pain.

The analgesic and antihyperalgesic effects of PEA in two models of acute and persistent pain seemed to be explained at least partly via the de novo neurosteroid synthesis. In chronic granulomatous pain and inflammation model, PEA could prevent nerve formation and sprouting, mechanical allodynia, and PEA inhibited dorsal root ganglia activation, which is a hallmark for winding up in neuropathic pain. The mechanism of action of PEA as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory molecule is probably based on different aspects.

Global Palmitoylethanolamide Market Overview

The market is expected to see a considerable amount of growth during the forecast period. The major factors that drive the growth of the market include increase in the incidence of neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis (MS), carpal tunnel syndrome, rise in the number of disease awareness programs especially in the developing countries, and development of effective combination drug to treat neuropathic pain, multiple sclerosis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Moreover, increase in government initiatives and rise in health awareness are the factors expected to augment the global market. Increase in demand for personalized medicines, and better diagnostic facilities are likely to propel the global palmitoylethanolamide market.

The new product launches by pharmaceutical manufacturers such as over-the-counter drugs are expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing health awareness among consumers and rising medical knowledge with the help of the internet are driving the sales of over-the-counter drugs.

However, strict rules and health concerns arising from the harmful effects of chemicals on human well-being are the major factors that are expected to hamper palmitoylethanolamide market growth.
