This ‘Androgenetic Alopecia - Epidemiology Forecast - 2032' report delivers an in-depth understanding of the historical and forecasted epidemiology of androgenetic alopecia in the United States, EU4 (Germany, Spain, Italy, France) and the United Kingdom and Japan.
Androgenetic alopecia is usually diagnosed clinically with a history of gradual onset after puberty and, often but not necessarily, a family history of baldness. A biopsy is usually not necessary unless the diagnosis is unclear. Dermoscopy shows miniaturized hair and brown perihilar casts, which can help differentiate from diffuse alopecia areata that mimics male pattern baldness as diffuse alopecia areata will have tapered fractures such as exclamation point hairs.
Topical minoxidil (ROGAINE) and finasteride (PROPECIA) are the two drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for androgenetic alopecia, both of which require at least a 4-6 month trial before noticing improvement and must be used indefinitely to maintain a response. Other off-label therapies used for androgenetic alopecia management include spironolactone, dutasteride, prostaglandin analogs, laser treatments, cyproterone acetate, platelet-rich plasma, and more. Besides drug therapies, hair transplantation is also a preferred surgical approach in androgenetic alopecia treatment. Various emerging drugs in development promise better hair loss control and promote hair regrowth.
Epidemiology
The androgenetic alopecia epidemiology division provides insights into the historical and current patient pool and the forecast trend for every seven major countries. It helps recognize the causes of current and forecasted trends by exploring numerous studies and views of key opinion leaders. This part of the report also provides the diagnosed patient pool and their trends, along with assumptions undertaken.
The total prevalent cases of androgenetic alopecia were more than 194,000,000 in the 7MM in 2021.
As per the estimates, EU4 and the UK had the highest prevalent patient population of androgenetic alopecia in 2021. Among EU4 and the UK, Germany had the highest number of cases of androgenetic alopecia, with more than 22,000,000 cases, followed by the UK in 2021. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest number of cases of androgenetic alopecia, with nearly 12,000,000 cases in 2021.
Androgenetic Alopecia: Disease Understanding
Androgenetic Alopecia Overview
Androgenetic alopecia is a genetically predetermined disorder due to an excessive response to androgens. This condition affects up to 50% of males and females and is characterized by progressive loss of terminal hair of the scalp any time after puberty. In males, hair loss is most prominent in the vertex and frontotemporal regions, while in women, the frontal hairline is typically spared with diffuse hair loss at the crown and top of the head, with loss often marked by a wider center part.Androgenetic alopecia is usually diagnosed clinically with a history of gradual onset after puberty and, often but not necessarily, a family history of baldness. A biopsy is usually not necessary unless the diagnosis is unclear. Dermoscopy shows miniaturized hair and brown perihilar casts, which can help differentiate from diffuse alopecia areata that mimics male pattern baldness as diffuse alopecia areata will have tapered fractures such as exclamation point hairs.
