The incidence of and fatalities from poisoning have increased
drastically in recent years, according to figures presented by the World
Health Organization. It is alarming to know that in 2004 alone, nearly
346,000 people around the world died due to deliberate or unintentional
poisoning. While these numbers are increasing at a frightening pace, it
is consoling to know that advancement in medicine and growing awareness
about pharmacokinetics has led to the discovery and development of
numerous antidotes for most poisons. Traditional methods such as gastric
lavage are now being replaced by modern techniques and antidotes.

treatment market to make informed business decisions.
Overview of the global poisoning treatment market
Sedatives, pesticides, chemicals, overdose of drugs, and alcohol
are some of the common agents of poisoning, cyanide being the most fatal
kind. The primary factor that drives the growth of the poisoning
treatment market around the world is increasing awareness among
healthcare providers as well as the common populace regarding the
importance of antidotes. The presence of mandatory regulations and
initiatives of community education are key to saving the lives of
billions.
The regional markets for poisoning treatment are North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Presently, North America
and Europe dominate the global market owing to the availability of new
and effective antidotes, presence of a flourishing pharmaceutical
industry, government aid, rigorous research activities, and increased
knowledge of pharmacokinetics. Countries in Asia Pacific such as India
and China have been identified as regions with immense potential owing
to improved healthcare infrastructure and services and growing
availability of key antidotes in government as well as private
hospitals. A sad yet true fact that drives the market for poisoning
treatment in the low-income nations of Africa is high suicide rates,
which drives the demand for various kinds of antidotes.
