Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment Market Share and Trends Analysis

According to Persistence Market Research, the global polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treatment market is expected to account for US$ 4.5 Bn by 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% to reach a valuation of US$ 6.2 Bn by 2032.

Demand for PCOS treatment recorded a CAGR of 4.1% from 2019 to 2024. A complex endocrine condition, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by ovarian cysts, subfertility, and endocrine variance in women. According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), every year, PCOS affects more than 116 million women globally. Of U.S. women of reproductive age, PCOS accounts for 6% to 13% (up to 5 million cases), making it one of the most prevalent reasons for female infertility.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that women with PCOS are frequently insulin resistant, which raises their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Elevated androgen levels and irregular menstruation in PCOS patients often lead to infertility and metabolic complications. The PCOS treatment market is expected to witness steady growth driven by increasing awareness, early diagnosis, and growing demand for effective and personalised care therapies. Ongoing research, clinical trials, and digital health innovations are further expanding the treatment landscape, making PCOS management more accessible and effective.

Market Dynamics

Driver - Increasing incidence of PCOS condition in women

PCOS is a well-known lifetime condition. Therefore, it is important to encourage a specific diagnostic strategy and course of action at various phases of life. PCOS affects nearly 4-10% of the global female population within the reproductive age range. As per the recent study in 2024, nearly 1.55 million new PCOS occurrences were recorded globally, a notable 4.47% rise over the past decade.

This upward trend underscores the urgent need for early diagnosis and consistent treatment protocols. International PCOS guidelines recommend prevention, early screening, and treatment for PCOS during a woman’s reproductive years to manage problems associated with PCOS. While secondary prevention relies on early screening of girls at greater risk of PCOS, primary therapies focus on adopting healthy lifestyle habits and avoiding excessive weight gain.

Over the past few years, a significant increase in awareness regarding PCOS in the female population has been observed globally. The PCOS Awareness Association (PCOSAA) conducts several events and conferences to spread awareness among the population across the globe. PCOSSA declared September as PCOS awareness month and organises several events and activities to spread awareness. The growing emphasis on prevention, timely screening, and early intervention are fuelling demand for effective treatment options and expanding the global market.

Restraint - Stagnant growth owing to the unavailability of FDA-approved drugs and product recalls

The global polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treatment market faces significant challenges due to the unavailability of FDA-approved drugs specifically indicated for PCOS. Current treatment involves using medications such as metformin, oral contraceptives, or fertility drugs, off-label for the treatment of PCOS symptoms, including irregular menstruation, acne, and hirsutism. This limits the standardized treatment protocols.

Moreover, despite several awareness programs conducted by government authorities, awareness regarding PCOS and its symptoms among the population in underdeveloped economies is significantly low.

Additionally, recalls of products such as oral contraceptive pills by Lupin in the U.S. market in 2021 or Yaz Plus contraceptive pill by Bayer Ltd in South Africa in 2025 further erode patient and provider confidence. Such recalls raise safety and quality concerns affecting treatment adherence. These factors hinder the market growth for PCOS treatment, highlighting the need for well-regulated treatment options, further reinforcing the demand for more targeted solutions in PCOS care.

Opportunity - Customized therapies and targeted drug development

Metformin, clomiphene (Clomid), either individually or in combination, and rosiglitazone are first-line medications for PCOS patients seeking to induce ovulation and cure infertility. These insulin-sensitizing medications have been successful in enhancing fertility and ovulation in PCOS-afflicted women. Anecdotal evidence highlights oral contraceptives as one of the most popular medications used to treat irregular menstruation in women with PCOS.

Manufacturers are offering an expanded range of drug formulations as well as dietary formulated products to increase the revenue base from PCOS treatment drugs as well as for improving the quality of life. The provision of tailored treatments for PCOS based on hormonal, genetic and metabolic profiles present significant opportunity for innovation and differentiation in the market.

An increase in the number of PCOS diagnoses is likely to fuel the demand for more targeted therapies, improving treatment outcomes and minimizing side effects. Coupled with advancements in wearable technology, digital health, telehealth, and real-time monitoring, this precision medicine model is expected to transform care delivery and increase adoption of PCOS therapies. The global market for PCOS medications is thus expected to witness steady growth over the forecast period.

Country-wise Insights

North America Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment Market Trends

North America market is projected to hold the dominant position globally in 2025. The U.S. market is expected to account for 91.4% of the regional market share in 2025. Rising prevalence of PCOS among women of reproductive age, increasing awareness, and focus on early diagnosis significantly contribute to the market’s dominance in North America.

The U.S. has a well-established healthcare infrastructure along with robust research and clinical advancements. Additionally, strong support by organizations such as PCOS Awareness Association to push initiatives such as PCOS Awareness Month contributes to early intervention and consistent management. Widespread use of ovulation-inducing drugs, insulin sensitizers, and hormonal therapies further boosts the U.S. polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treatment market.

Europe Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment Market Trends

Europe market is expected to hold significant share by value in 2025 driven by funding initiatives and clinical trials aimed at developing targeted therapies for PCOS.

The company SPIOMET4HEALTH in June 2024, shared insights on clinical trials progress for the first dedicated treatment for PCOS. The project is currently recruiting participants aged 12 to 24 with PCOS across several European countries like Austria, Spain, Denmark, Türkiye, Italy and Norway, reflecting a region-wide commitment to advancing PCOS care.

Additionally, organizations such as the BioInnovation Institutes (BII) have launched specialised programs such as the Women’s Health Initiative. They are funding women’s health start-ups focused on reproductive health and hormonal disorders, thereby encouraging innovation and expanding treatment pipelines for PCOS.

As a result, Europe is emerging as a key region in the global PCOS treatment landscape, offering manufacturers and healthcare providers substantial opportunities in the coming years.

Asia Pacific Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Treatment Market Trends

Asia Pacific market for PCOS treatment is expected to emerge as a highly lucrative region for the manufacturers during the forecast period. Countries such as China and India significantly drive the regional growth owed to the growing prevalence of PCOS.

A recent study on the prevalence of PCOS in Chinese women found that the condition affects 5.6% of Chinese women between the ages of 19 and 45. While approximately 22.5% of women in India, or one in five Indian women, currently have PCOS.

The growing healthcare investments, increasing gynecological and endocrinological care services, and rising adoption of PCOS management products are boosting pharmaceutical sales in the region.

A large patient pool and increasing access to PCOS care are expected to offer substantial opportunities for drug manufacturers in the Asia Pacific.

Category-wise Insights

Drug Class Insights

Insulin-sensitizing agents are projected to account for a revenue share of around 32.8% in the global polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treatment market in 2025.

Considering insulin resistance and accompanying hyperinsulinemia being acknowledged as significant pathogenic elements of the illness, insulin-sensitizing medications have lately been advocated as the preferred therapy for the polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Additionally, as nearly all PCOS patients who are obese and more than half of those who are of normal weight are insulin-resistant and exhibit some amount of hyperinsulinemia, the administration of insulin sensitizers is recommended for a majority of PCOS patients. Insulin-sensitizing medications (ISDs) improve PCOS-related reproductive irregularities, restore regular ovulation and menstruation, boost pregnancy rates, and lessen androgenic symptoms. ISDs, in particular metformin, have been largely embraced as a treatment for PCOS.

Distribution Channel Insights

Hospital pharmacies are expected to hold a prominent share of 47.4% in the global polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treatment market in 2025. Since these medications and treatment modalities are mostly prescribed by doctors, hospital pharmacies are likely to enjoy a bigger share of the distribution channels in the market.

The segment’s dominance is also attributed to the easy availability of treatment options and medications for the expensive aspects of PCOS care, which includes treatment for conditions such as long-term metabolic health conditions (type-2 diabetes) or reproductive health problems (infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, menstrual dysfunction, and hirsutism) within hospital premises.
