Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Market Size Worth $30.4 Billion By 2025 | CAGR: 7.5%

The global Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) market is expected to grow at growth rate of 7.5% to reach USD 30.4 billion by 2025.

Menopause is a natural inevitable event, defined as the final menstrual period. It requires a retrospective clinical diagnosis with ethnic and regional variations. Hormonal replacement therapies (HRT) play an important role in relieving the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. This therapy can be categorized into Oestrogen-alone HRT, cyclical HRT, continuous combined therapy (CCT), and long cycle HRT. It can be given transdermally (through the skin), orally (tablets), vaginally or subcutaneously (a long-lasting implant). Combination or in a systematic form which includes the application of drugs through patches, gels, and pills are considered to be the most preferred option of hormone therapy. The rise in a number of women in menopausal age, growing patient awareness, and the emergence of innovative drug delivery systems are driving the industry growth significantly. According to the statistics provided by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, around 6,000 women reach menopause on a daily basis. This number is equivalent to about two million women annually in the U.S. alone.

However, availability of alternative treatment options would, in turn, hamper the market growth to some extent. For instance, antidepressants, antiseizure and blood pressure medications are sometimes used for the relief of menopausal symptoms. The high cost of products is also considered to be one of the major restraining factors for the market growth. For example, Pfizer, Inc. increased the price of its anticonvulsant Dilantin, hormone therapy Menest by around 20%.
