The Global Human Growth Hormone (Hgh) market, valued at USD 5.39 Billion in 2023, is expected. This growth is projected to occur at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0% from 2021 to 2030. Human growth hormone, or somatotropin, is a critical peptide hormone produced by the pituitary gland, essential for regulating various physiological processes, including cell growth, regeneration, metabolism, and overall human development. The hormone's role extends beyond growth, aiding in muscle strength, bone density, and recovery from injuries.
The increasing prevalence of growth hormone deficiencies and genetic disorders such as Prader-Willi syndrome and Turner syndrome is driving the demand for hGH therapies. Turner syndrome, a condition characterized by the partial or complete loss of the X chromosome in females, is notably common, affecting approximately 1 in 2,500 live female births. The rising awareness of the importance of hGH in managing these conditions, coupled with advancements in hormone therapies that offer reduced side effects and longer treatment durations, is further propelling market growth.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the significance of managing growth hormone deficiencies, particularly in vulnerable populations such as those with Prader-Willi syndrome and Turner syndrome. The pandemic's impact on global healthcare systems has posed challenges, including delays in diagnosis and treatment. However, the market is expected to recover as healthcare services resume and awareness continues to grow regarding the importance of hGH treatments in managing associated health risks.
The market segmentation reveals that the Turner syndrome application segment held a dominant position in 2020 and is expected to maintain its lead throughout the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to the increasing incidence of Turner syndrome worldwide. In terms of the route of administration, the subcutaneous segment is expected to continue leading the market due to its higher efficacy in hormone absorption compared to other methods. Additionally, the hospital pharmacy segment remains the primary distribution channel, given its accessibility and the availability of recombinant human growth hormones.
The key regions considered in the study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America dominated the global human growth hormone market in 2020, driven by factors such as an aging population, the presence of major market players, and ongoing research into innovative hormone therapies. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period, supported by population growth, increasing healthcare awareness, and improvements in healthcare infrastructure.
