From a brief stroll across the internet I see:

In 2012, the U.S. opioid market was $8.5 billion, and the worldwide market was $11.7 billion

Global opioid market is $12 billion,

...of the $14.8 billion global opioid market

So...11.7 to 14.8 billion works for me.

Some may be confusing the total market for "Pain" as opposed to "opioids"
