Progesterone Market Drivers

Rising cases of Amenorrhea, Breast and Uterine Cancer and AIDS along with Other Conditions:

Amenorrhea is the condition in which a woman faces an absence of one or more menstrual periods. As per NCBI, 3-5% of adult women, in general, throughout the globe face the following problem. Hormone therapy is only used for breast cancers that are found to have receptors for the naturally occurring hormones estrogen or progesterone.

As per the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is about 30% of all new female cancer cases registered in the U.S. each year, curating 287,000 cases yearly in the country. In the general population, progesterone supplementation is widely used, is well tolerated and is considered safe for HIV-Positive Pregnant Women.

The Growing Infertility Rates across Developed and Developing Countries:

Progesterone plays a critical role in infertility treatment, as the hormone is key in becoming pregnant and maintaining pregnancy throughout the months. Doctors prescribe progesterone therapy in those who have suffered a recurrent miscarriage, among other reasons. As per WHO's headline, infertility has been a global health issue and the available data suggests that around 48 million couples and 186 million individuals worldwide have infertility. Critically, infertility rates across the globe vary, offering unique opportunities to marketers. Within the EU, the fertility rate stood at 1.50 (Eurostat-2020). However, the fertility rate is 1.70 in the U.S. (World Bank-2019). However, a general downturn in the fertility rates would continue to propel the market.

Progesterone Market Challenges

Lack of Awareness about Progesterone Therapy along with Its Costs and Side Effects associated with It:

The awareness about this form of therapy runs low, especially in the developing and underdeveloped regions of the world. This results in lower sales of the product. Furthermore, cases of blood clothing have been reported in patients who have continued to rely on progesterone for reasons concerned. Progesterone (synthetic) has been linked to increased breast cancer risk. However, the role of endogenous progesterone in breast physiology and carcinogenesis is defined less clearly. As per various online sellers, the cost of a monthly prescription for oral HRT (Progesterone) runs between $130 and $240, imposing significant cost-related pressures on the market.
