LONDON, Dec. 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The global muscle relaxant drugs market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.5% during 2015 - 2020. Based on type, the global muscle relaxant drugs market was dominated by the facial aesthetic relaxant segment in 2014.
The global market of muscle relaxants is growing due to increase in geriatric population, increasing prevalence of skin diseases and harmful effects of ultra violet radiation. Old age is associated with the loss of fibrous tissue, and reduced vascular and glandular network in the layers of skin. In the elderly population, the appearance and characteristics of the skin gets altered, leading to wrinkles, appearance of frown lines, dryness, pigmentary alteration, and sagging of the skin. Muscle relaxant-based procedures help in reducing skin aging, thus giving younger look to a person by revitalizing and tightening the skin.
Moreover, the geriatric population is also more prone to musculoskeletal problems, compared to adults. This is due to the weakening of their muscles, which causes pains, cramps, and other muscle related problems. For the management of these aged-related musculoskeletal problems, people use prescription-based, as well as over-the-counter (OTC) drugs including muscle relaxants for their management. Thus, the growing geriatric population is fuelling the growth of the global muscle relaxants drugs market.
