Menopause Treatment Market Trends

• Growing demand for non-hormonal treatment propels market growth.

Market CAGR for menopause treatment is being driven by the rising demand for non-hormonal treatments.. Many women are unable or reluctant to utilize hormone therapy due to worries about side effects or increased risk of certain health disorders, such as breast cancer. As a result, there is an increasing demand for non-hormonal treatments such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), gabapentin, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Non-pharmacologic treatments such as acupuncture and herbal supplements are also becoming increasingly popular. Non-hormonal therapies are projected to have increased demand in the coming years, owing to increased awareness of these treatment choices and a growing desire for individualized and integrative approaches to menopausal management. As a result, firms are investing in the development of new non-hormonal medicines, which is projected to drive additional expansion in this market sector.

Furthermore, the utilization of new medication delivery technologies for menopause treatment is growing. Transversal patches, vaginal rings, and subcutaneous implants, for example, have various advantages over standard oral medicines, including greater efficacy, safety, and patient compliance. These delivery systems enable a controlled release of hormones or other active substances, which can aid in the management of menopausal symptoms. Furthermore, they can lower the risk of side effects associated with oral medicines while also improving patient convenience.

Additionally, Effective therapy for menopause symptoms has become increasingly important in recent years, as women's physical and mental health has deteriorated. Hot flashes, formication, migraine, anxiety, exhaustion, mood swings, impatience, and insomnia have all become major difficulties around the world, driving players to devise novel and effective treatment approaches. Significant investments are being made in extended R&D operations to launch novel medications, which aids in the growth of the menopause therapy market. Women are increasingly leading hectic and demanding lives, leaving little time for peace of mind or relaxation, while a lack of sleep has exacerbated menopausal symptoms. This feature, along with rising female disposable income in various countries, has boosted the menopause treatment market.

Another factor fueling the growth of the menopause therapy market is the growing demand for personalized medicine. Personalized medicine refers to the customizing of medical therapy to each patient's unique features, such as genetic makeup, lifestyle, and medical history. As our understanding of the underlying causes of menopausal symptoms increases, there is a growing tendency toward the creation of individualized menopause treatments.

For example, Astellas Pharma Inc. and MBC Biolabs established collaboration in 2019 to investigate tailored treatments for menopausal symptoms. The cooperation aims to uncover innovative targets for menopause treatment and to develop individualized medicines based on the unique characteristics of each patient.
