Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) represents a chronic neuropathic pain condition that persists after the resolution of herpes zoster (shingles) lesions. PHN management typically involves antiviral agents, analgesics, topical therapies, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants, each offering distinct mechanisms to mitigate nerve damage–related pain. The advantages of these products include targeted modulation of pain pathways, improved patient compliance through oral and topical formulations, and potential reduction in reliance on opioid therapies. Growing awareness of Postherpetic Neuralgia Market impact on quality of life, coupled with advances in drug delivery systems—such as sustained-release patches and novel oral formulations—has amplified the demand for effective treatments. Moreover, the integration of personalized medicine, where genetic and immunologic profiles guide therapeutic choices, is reshaping product development. Market players are focusing on combination therapies that address both acute viral replication and chronic nerve pain, thereby offering comprehensive care. The surging geriatric population, along with increased incidence of immunocompromising conditions, underscores the need for robust PHN treatment options.

According to CoherentMI postherpetic neuralgia market is estimated to be valued at USD 805.3 Mn in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 1251.4 Mn by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2025 to 2032
