Gynecology Drugs Market Report 2025

The gynecology drugs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $43.27 billion in 2024 to $45.52 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to a rise in the introduction of drugs with novel mechanisms, a rise in educational tools and awareness on menopause, a rise in long-acting reversible contraceptives, a shift in lifestyles, a rise in healthcare awareness and expenditure, government initiatives and an increase in pharmaceutical R&D expenditure.

The gynecology drugs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $57.08 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an increase in awareness and use of contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), an age-related increase in gynecological cancers, a rise in ovarian cancer, prevalence of gynecological diseases, a rise in healthcare expenditure and rising investment to understand the mechanisms of endometriosis and its treatment. Major trends in the forecast period include companies should consider launching or adopting new treatment developments to treat patients with oncology and endometriosis and give them a longer survival time, focus on the development of new menopausal hormone therapy to offer better treatment options, investments in gynecology drugs research that will create new opportunities to create and develop new drugs, increase awareness about benefits of contraceptives and launch new products into the market to fulfill the unmet need from developed and developing countries, develop antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) targeted therapies to target ovarian cancers, consider entering into strategic collaborations and partnerships to broaden their product portfolios, boost revenues and establish category leadership and focus on combination therapies to overcome drug resistance and reduce morbidity and mortality caused due to traditional cancer treatments.

The anticipated increase in the number of women affected by ovarian cancer is expected to drive growth in the global gynecological drugs market. Ovarian cancer, originating in the ovaries as part of the female reproductive system, is effectively managed by gynecological drugs that offer targeted treatment options, improved survival rates, and enhanced quality of life for patients. According to estimates from Globocan, the global incidence of ovarian cancer is projected to reach 434,184 by 2040, thereby fostering the demand for gynecological drugs in the foreseeable future.

Age serves as a significant risk factor for various diseases, including diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. In particular, disruptions in female reproductive cycles, such as early menarche or late menopause, contribute to hormonal imbalances and increase the risk of cancer in later stages of life. Endometrial and ovarian cancers are prevalent among elderly women and contribute to substantial mortality rates. The incidence of these cancers rises with age, typically peaking around 60 to 70 years. Additionally, cervical cancer is commonly diagnosed around the age of 50, while vaginal and vulvar cancers are typically diagnosed later, around the age of 67. For instance, the American Cancer Society estimates 14,000 new cases of cervical cancer in the United States in 2022. The age-related upswing in gynecological cancers is expected to propel the market in the coming years.

Major companies in the gynecology drug market are focusing on the development of innovative medications, such as hormonal therapies, to address moderate to severe pain associated with endometriosis. Hormonal medications are drugs that contain hormones or hormone-like substances used to regulate or alter hormonal levels in the body for various conditions, including hormone replacement therapy, birth control, and endocrine disorders. For example, in August 2022, Myovant Sciences, a US-based biotechnology research company, and Pfizer, a US pharmaceutical company, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved MYFEMBREE (relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg, and norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg) for managing moderate to severe pain linked to endometriosis. Endometriosis is a painful condition characterized by tissue similar to the uterine lining growing outside the uterus, affecting millions of women worldwide. The approval of MYFEMBREE marks a significant advancement in treatment options for this condition, offering a new oral medication that combines hormonal therapy with a GnRH antagonist. Overall, the direction of the gynecology drug market underscores a commitment to addressing the unique healthcare needs of women, ensuring they have access to the best available treatments.

Major companies in the gynecology drug market are focusing on developing innovative therapies, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), to gain a competitive advantage. HRT is a medical treatment that involves administering hormones to alleviate menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for women undergoing these changes. For example, in April 2023, the Department of Health and Social Care in the UK, in collaboration with NHS England and the NHS Business Services Authority, launched a new HRT prescription prepayment certificate (PPC). This initiative allows women in England to access HRT for only £19.3 per year (approximately $24.5 USD), significantly easing the financial burden of managing menopause symptoms.

In March 2022, Carlyle, a U.S.-based private equity firm, and PAI Partners, a France-based private equity firm, reached an agreement to acquire Theramex from CVC Capital Partners for $1.4 billion. This acquisition is intended to expand the investment portfolio of Carlyle and PAI in Theramex, focusing on organic, inorganic, and international growth initiatives. Theramex, a UK-based pharmaceutical company, specializes in women's health products related to fertility, contraception, menopause, and osteoporosis.
