This statistic displays the distribution of global codeine consumption by region, from 2018 to 2020. During 2019, the United Kingdom consumed approximately 13.8 percent of the world's amount of codeine. But one year later, the share decreased to just over six percent. Codeine is mostly manufactured from morphine through a semi-synthetic process. There has also been an increase in the cultivation of the opium poppy, which is also used to extract codeine.
