Intravenous (IV) Ibuprofen is a medication administered directly into the bloodstream through an intravenous route, primarily used for providing rapid pain relief and reducing inflammation or fever, especially in patients who are unable to take oral medications. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are responsible for causing pain and inflammation. IV ibuprofen is commonly used in clinical settings, particularly for postoperative pain and other acute conditions that require quick relief.

The intravenous (IV) ibuprofen market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from$8.35 billion in 2024 to $9.4 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, a rise in surgical procedures, and a growing emphasis on minimizing opioid usage.
The intravenous (IV) ibuprofen market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to$14.86 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including higher healthcare investments, a growing pediatric patient population, an increase in the prevalence of pain and fever, an aging population, and a rise in the adoption of advanced pharmaceutical treatments. Key trends during this period include the development of advanced therapeutic solutions, the emergence of single-dose formulations, progress in personalized medicine, integration into multimodal pain management protocols, and advancements in combination therapies.
The growing prevalence of pain disorders is expected to drive the growth of the intravenous ibuprofen market in the coming years. Pain disorders are medical conditions characterized by persistent or chronic pain that impairs daily functioning, often due to nerve, musculoskeletal, or inflammatory issues. The increase in pain disorders is largely attributed to the aging population, as older adults are more likely to develop chronic conditions such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, and nerve pain, leading to a higher demand for effective pain relief. Intravenous ibuprofen aids pain management by providing rapid relief, making it particularly suitable for acute and postoperative pain. It works by reducing inflammation and enhancing patient comfort, improving the overall effectiveness of treatment in medical settings. For example, in January 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities in the UK reported that the percentage of individuals aged 16 and older who self-reported having a long-term musculoskeletal condition increased to 18.4% in 2023, up from 17.6% in 2022. As a result, the rising prevalence of pain disorders is contributing to the growth of the intravenous ibuprofen market.
Companies in the intravenous ibuprofen market are focusing on developing advanced drug formulations, such as opioid-free analgesics, to improve pain management while reducing the risk of opioid dependence. An opioid-free analgesic is a pain-relieving medication that does not contain opioids, thereby eliminating the risks of addiction and opioid-related side effects. For instance, in February 2024, Hikma Pharmaceuticals plc, a UK-based pharmaceutical company, introduced COMBOGESIC IV (acetaminophen and ibuprofen) injection in the U.S. following FDA approval in October 2023. This intravenous, opioid-free analgesic is intended for the relief of mild to moderate pain and as an adjunct for managing moderate to severe pain. By combining two active ingredients with distinct mechanisms of action, COMBOGESIC IV offers a novel non-opioid pain management solution for healthcare providers.
In May 2024, Halex Istar Industria Farmaceutica SA, a Brazil-based pharmaceutical company, entered into a partnership with AFT Pharmaceuticals Ltd. to expand the distribution of Maxigesic IV (paracetamol + ibuprofen IV) in Brazil. This collaboration aims to provide effective non-opioid pain management solutions to the Brazilian market. AFT Pharmaceuticals Ltd., based in New Zealand, specializes in intravenous pain relief products.
