Growth Drivers:

Increasing Prevalence of PCOS Among Women Globally Drives Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment Market Growth

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common multifactorial endocrine disorder among women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), PCOS affects an estimated 8–13% of women of reproductive age. Globally, PCOS is the most common cause of anovulation and a leading cause of infertility. Also, ~70% of women affected by PCOS remain undiagnosed. Unhealthy lifestyle diet and some environmental factors can cause PCOS. Obesity is a major risk factor for PCOS, as excess body fat can disrupt hormone levels and insulin sensitivity, leading to the development of the condition. With the global obesity epidemic on the rise, more women are at risk of developing PCOS. According to the World Obesity Atlas 2022 by the World Obesity Federation, by 2030, more than one billion people across the world will be affected by obesity, including 1 in every five women.

Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of PCOS has led to a growing demand for effective treatment options. Various pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical PCOS treatments are available to regulate hormone levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and address other underlying factors contributing to PCOS. Thus, the rising prevalence of PCOS among women globally drives the growth of the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) treatment market.

Restraint:

Limited Availability of FDA-Approved Medications Specifically for PCOS Hinders Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment Market

There is a limited availability of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications specifically designed to address the complex symptoms and underlying hormonal imbalances associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Despite the high prevalence of PCOS and its significant impact on women's health, fertility, and quality of life, there are relatively few pharmaceutical options (off-label drugs) approved by the FDA for the treatment of this condition. The lack of FDA-approved medications presents a challenge for healthcare providers and patients seeking effective and evidence-based PCOS treatments. While off-label use of certain medications such as oral contraceptives, insulin-sensitizing agents, and anti-androgens is common in managing PCOS symptoms, the absence of dedicated therapies limits the ability to address the condition comprehensively. Thus, the limited availability of FDA-approved medications specifically indicated for PCOS restrains the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) treatment market growth.
