Global Somatropin Market- Regional Analysis

Among region, North America is estimated to hold a dominant position in the global somatropin market over the forecast period owing to the increase in the product launch by the key market players and increase in the prevalence of turner syndrome. For instance, in August 2022, according to an article published in the Journal of StatPearls, Turner syndrome is seen in about 1 in 2000 to 1 in 2500 live female births take place in U.S. in 2020 and this count is estimated to increase to about 2 in 2000 female births by 2025.

Global Somatropin Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Egypt, and others faced problems regarding transportation of drugs from one place to another.

COVID-19 had a negative impact on the global somatropin market owing to the disturbance in the supply chain of the drug through distribution channel. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected clinical trials drastically. For instance, on April 23, 2020, according to a survey conducted by Medidata Solutions, Inc., a company which markets and develops software as a service for clinical trials, conducted a survey which showed observations such as 63% of survey respondents reported that they had stopped recruiting new patients for ongoing clinical trials and 43% of the respondents had postponed their studies. Moreover, since the COVID-19 virus outbreak, the supply chain of growth hormone deficiency drugs was hampered and the somatropin market was affected in a negative way, however the market recovery was seen over the late phase of COVID-19.

Among Dosage Form, the global somatropin market is segmented into solvent and powder. Out of which, the powder segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period and this is attributed due to the increase bioavailability of growth hormone to treat growth failure in children and adults who lack natural growth hormone and improve patient compliance as compared to the solvent form.

Among Application, the global somatropin market is segmented into growth hormone deficiency (GHD), turner syndrome, chronic renal insufficiency, prader willi syndrome, small for gestational age, SHOX deficiency, and others. The plant-based segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed owing to the increase in incidence of turner syndrome across the globe.

Based on Distribution channel, the global somatropin market is segmented into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. The hospital pharmacies segment is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period and this is attributed to the preference and ease of availability of artificial or recombinant human growth hormone in hospital pharmacies.

Among Region, the global somatropin market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. Out of which, the North America is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period owing to the increase in launch of product by market key players and increase in the prevalence of turner syndrome.
