Global Human Growth Hormone Market By Application (Small for Gestational Age, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Idiopathic Short Stature, Turner Syndrome, Growth Hormone Deficiency and Other Applications) By Distribution Channel (Retail Pharmacy, Hospital Pharmacy, Specialty Pharmacy and Online Pharmacy) By Region, Industry Analysis and Forecast, 2019 - 2025

Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Human Growth Hormone (hGH) Market size is expected to reach $7.1 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 8.3% CAGR during the forecast period. Human growth hormone (hGH), also referred to as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, helps in cell reproduction as well as regeneration in humans. It is therefore important in human development. Growth hormone (GH) deficiency in humans is triggered when the pituitary gland does not synthesize enough HGH concentration. This deficiency in humans is treated by subcutaneous injection of recombinant human growth hormone. In the pituitary gland, the human body naturally produces growth hormones. The growth hormone is processed and secreted by somatotropic cells present in the lateral wings of the anterior pituitary gland.

Global Human Growth Hormone (hGH) Market Size

The growth hormone helps in increasing height during childhood, raises calcium retention levels, strengthens and improves bone mineralization. It also increases the muscle mass through sarcomere hypertrophy, increases protein synthesis, promotes lipolysis, enhances the growth of all internal organs excluding the brain. The hormone has a key role to play in homeostasis, it helps to reduce glucose uptake by the liver.

Human Growth Hormone (hGH) Market Share

Growth hormone (GH) treatment has only been used to help children with severe growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Nevertheless, today, with an excess of recombinant human GH (rhGH), it is also used to treat a wide range of other conditions. RhGH may be used to treat short-term GH deficiency (GHD), insufficiency, and other disorders leading to poor growth. At present, it is also used in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), Prader Willi syndrome (PWS), Turner syndrome (TS), small gestational age (SGA) with no upward development of 2 years, idiopathic short stature (ISS) and some short-term dysmorphic syndromes. Through the growth hormone therapy, many children can attain adult heights better than expected- on the basis of their growth pattern of pretreatment.
