概要

卵胞刺激ホルモン市場

卵胞刺激ホルモン市場は、2023年には19億4,000万米ドルと評価され、2024～2035年のCAGRは5.7%を示し、2035年には37億4,000万米ドルに達すると推定されます。

卵胞刺激ホルモン（FSH）は、下垂体によって産生される重要なホルモンであり、生殖の健康において重要な役割を果たします。女性の場合、FSHは卵子を含む卵胞の発育を刺激するため、特に月経周期と卵巣機能に関与しています。FSHはさらに、月経周期と妊娠に関与する2つの必須ホルモン、エストロゲンとプロゲステロンの産生を調節します。男性では、このホルモンは精巣での精子細胞の生産を刺激します。黄体形成ホルモン（LH）と並んで、生殖能力と正常な生殖機能を調節する働きをします。生殖機能とともに、FSHは骨の健康にも影響を与え、多嚢胞性卵巣症候群（PCOS）や不妊症などの症状にも不可欠です。

不妊症の有病率の増加と、FSHベースの薬剤の利点に関する個人の意識の高まりは、卵胞刺激ホルモン市場の成長を促進する主要要因です。さらに、生殖補助医療技術（ART）の採用が増加していることも、市場の成長を著しく増大させると予想されます。現在、子宮内膜幹細胞のいくつかの再生関連機能におけるFSHの探索が牽引力を獲得しつつあります。科学者によれば、これは女性の妊娠率を高めると予測されています。

しかし、FSH療法を含む不妊治療関連は、いくつかの地域では保険適用外です。このため、このような治療は高額になり、その結果、このような治療を受けることができず、市場開拓を抑制しています。さらに、FSH投与による副作用は、多胎妊娠、卵巣過剰刺激症候群（OHSS）、ホルモンバランスの乱れなど、場合によっては深刻です。このため、FSFの利用は制限され、市場関係者にとっての課題となっています。逆に、ライフスタイルの変化や環境的ストレス要因のために、不妊症の割合は世界的に急増しています。疾病管理予防センターの2023年の論文によると、15～49歳の女性の13.4％が不妊に悩んでいると報告されています。これらの統計は、同市場の将来が有望であることを示しています。

セグメント概要

卵胞刺激ホルモン市場は、タイプ、用途、エンドユーザー、地域に区分されます。タイプ別では、市場は組換えFSHと尿中FSHに二分されます。用途別では、不妊治療と生殖補助医療に分類されます。エンドユーザー別では、病院、不妊治療クリニック、クライオバンクに分類されます。地域別では、北米、欧州、アジア太平洋、ラテンアメリカ・中東・アフリカで分析されます。

主要調査結果

タイプ別では、組換えFSHセグメントが2023年の市場を独占しました。

用途別では、不妊治療セグメントが2023年に高い市場シェアを獲得しました。

地域別では、北米が2023年に最も高い収益を上げました。

Follicle Stimulating Hormone Market

The follicle stimulating hormone market was valued at $1.94 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach $3.74 billion by 2035, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.7% from 2024 to 2035.

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a vital hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in reproductive health. In females, FSH is specifically involved in the menstrual cycle and ovarian function as it stimulates the development of ovarian follicles containing the ovum. FSH further regulates the production of two essential hormones involved in menstrual cycle and pregnancy that are estrogen and progesterone. In males, the hormone stimulates sperm cells production in the testes. It works alongside luteinizing hormone (LH) to regulate fertility and normal reproductive functions. Along with its reproductive functions, FSH impacts the bone health and is essential in conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and infertility.

Increase in prevalence of infertility and rise in awareness among individuals regarding the benefits of FSH-based medications are the key factors driving the growth of the follicle stimulating hormone market. Moreover, increase in adoption of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is expected to significantly augment the growth of the market. Currently, the exploration of FSH in several regeneration-related functions of endometrial stem cells is acquiring traction. According to scientists, this is predicted to subsequently increase pregnancy rates among females.

However, fertility-related treatments, including FSH therapies, are not covered under insurance policies in several regions. This makes such treatments expensive for several individuals, thus preventing them from undergoing such treatments and restraining the market development. Moreover, the side-effects of FSH administration are severe in some cases, including multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and hormonal imbalances. This limits the utilization of FSF and presents challenges for the market players. On the contrary, infertility rates are surging globally owing to lifestyle changes and environmental stressors. As per a 2023 article by Center of Disease Control and Prevention, 13.4% of women between the age 15-49 were reported to suffer from impaired fecundity. These statistics indicate a promising future for the market.

Segment Overview

The follicle stimulating hormone market is segmented into type, application, end user, and region. On the basis of type, the market is bifurcated into recombinant FSH and urinary FSH. By application, it is classified into infertility treatment and assisted reproductive technology. As per end user, it is categorized into hospitals, fertility clinics, and cryobanks. Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
