Human Chorionic Gonadotropin Market Report 2024

This Human Chorionic Gonadotropin market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The human chorionic gonadotropin market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.87 billion in 2023 to $0.95 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, the rising prevalence of hypogonadism among the elderly, increased awareness of hCG among healthcare professionals and patients, growing popularity of fertility tourism, an expanding elderly population, and enhanced affordability and improvements in healthcare facilities.

The human chorionic gonadotropin market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.31 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth during the forecast period is driven by factors such as the rising incidence of infertility, the increasing prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome, higher rates of female infertility, and the growing use of hCG in veterinary medicine. Key trends for this period include advancements in pregnancy detection, new drug formulations, integration of technology, emphasis on research and development, and ongoing product innovation.

An increasing rate of infertility is anticipated to propel the growth of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) market in the coming years. Infertility, defined as the inability to conceive after at least one year of consistent, unprotected intercourse, is on the rise. Contributing factors include delayed childbearing, lifestyle changes, environmental exposures, and medical conditions. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is utilized in infertility treatments to stimulate ovulation in women and support testosterone production in men, facilitating egg release and improving fertility outcomes. For instance, in April 2023, the World Health Organization reported that infertility affects approximately 17.5% of the adult population, or roughly one in six people globally, underscoring the urgent need for accessible, high-quality fertility care. Consequently, the rising infertility rate is driving the growth of the human chorionic gonadotropin market.

Key players in the human chorionic gonadotropin market are focusing on the development of innovative products, such as pregnancy detection kits, to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve patient outcomes, and broaden market reach. Pregnancy detection kits are designed to confirm pregnancy by detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the body. For example, in June 2022, Proov, a US-based medical equipment manufacturer, introduced new hCG tests for early pregnancy detection, enabling women to verify pregnancy up to six days before their expected period. These tests identify hCG in urine with a reliability rate exceeding 99%, providing a dependable and accessible method for women to monitor their pregnancy status earlier than traditional tests and make informed reproductive health decisions.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced during pregnancy by the placenta shortly after embryo implantation in the uterus. It is essential for sustaining pregnancy by stimulating the corpus luteum in the ovary to produce progesterone, which maintains the uterine lining and prevents its breakdown.

The primary technologies for producing hCG are natural source extraction and recombinant technology. Recombinant technology involves combining DNA fragments from various organisms to create new genetic combinations. hCG is used in treating female infertility, oligospermia, male hypogonadism, and other conditions. It is distributed through hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies, and is utilized by fertility clinics, research institutions, and other users.
