The human growth hormone market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.75 billion in 2024 to $5.23 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of growth disorders, rising awareness about hormone therapies, expanding applications in sports medicine, growing geriatric population, improving healthcare infrastructure.

The human growth hormone market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.6 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to emergence of personalized medicine, rising healthcare expenditure globally, increasing adoption of recombinant DNA technology, growing demand for hormone replacement therapies, rising prevalence of endocrine disorders. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of distribution networks in emerging markets, integration of artificial intelligence in drug development, emphasis on sustainable manufacturing processes, development of long-acting formulations, utilization of combination therapies for enhanced efficacy.

The increasing awareness of treatment procedures is anticipated to drive the expansion of the human growth hormone market in the future. Treatment procedures encompass medical interventions aimed at alleviating, managing, or curing health conditions or diseases. This heightened awareness is fueled by advancements in medical technology, enhanced access to information via digital media, and a growing public interest in health and wellness. Human growth hormone (HGH) treatments have attracted significant media attention and public interest, underscoring the benefits and potential applications of modern medical interventions, thereby boosting overall awareness of treatment procedures. For example, according to the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), among adolescents aged 12 to 17, in 2021, 40.6% of the 5 million adolescents with a past year Major Depressive Episode (MDE) received treatment for depression, while in 2022, 56.8% of the 4.8 million adolescents with a past year MDE received mental health treatment. Consequently, the heightened awareness of treatment procedures is propelling the growth of the human growth hormone market.

Leading companies in the human growth hormone market are intensifying their efforts in drug development and approvals to enhance their medication offerings and provide superior treatment solutions. Drug development entails a comprehensive and meticulous process involving multiple stages to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of a new drug before it is introduced to the market. For example, in June 2023, Pfizer Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, and OPKO Health Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical and diagnostics company, announced the approval of NGENLA (somatrogon-ghla) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This treatment offers a more convenient dosing regimen and enhances patient adherence compared to daily injections. It provides children with growth hormone deficiency the option to reduce injection frequency from daily to once a week. The FDA approval was supported by a Phase 3 study demonstrating NGENLA's non-inferiority to once-daily somatropin, with a safety profile comparable to somatropin.

The increasing healthcare expenditure is expected to drive the growth of the human growth hormone (HGH) market in the coming years. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total spending on health services, products, and interventions aimed at improving and maintaining health. HGH therapy provides a unique approach to reducing healthcare costs by addressing underlying health issues that contribute to long-term expenses, enhancing recovery and quality of life, and potentially preventing the onset of expensive chronic conditions. For instance, in May 2023, a report from the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government agency, indicated that healthcare spending in the UK grew by 5.6% between 2022 and 2023, compared to just 0.9% in 2022. The total healthcare expenditure in the UK was approximately $317.63 billion (£292 billion) in 2023. As a result, the rise in healthcare spending is expected to drive the human growth hormone market forward.
