Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Treatment Market Worth $5.1 Billion By 2025

Tuesday 5 December 2017, Amsterdam

The global polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment market is expected to reach USD 5.1 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. According to the Centers of Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of female infertility. Approximately 6% to 12% women of reproductive age suffer from PCOS in the U. S. Moreover, progression of this condition can lead to metabolic abnormalities, which may result in development of type 2 diabetes, if the syndrome is not treated on time. The severity of the disorder increases the risk of developing uterine and endometrial cancers in patients. Thus, early diagnosis and effective treatment are significant for successful recovery. 

Presently, no specific drug is commercially available for this condition. Thus, treating symptoms is the prime aim of the treatment regimen. Owing to the various symptoms associated with this syndrome, a range of drug class/combinations is used in the treatment. Therefore, market leaders are focusing on developing a specific drug/treatment to cure the root cause of this disease. AstraZeneca is one of the leaders involved in developing such a drug.
