Dysmenorrhea Treatment Market to Grow with a CAGR of 7.36% through 2028

Pharmaceutical innovations and a shift towards holistic and personalized treatment approaches are expected to drive the Global Dysmenorrhea Treatment Market growth in the forecast period, 2024-2028.

According to TechSci Research report, “Dysmenorrhea Treatment Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2028”, the Global Dysmenorrhea Treatment Market stood at USD 5.73 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.36% in the forecast period, 2024-2028. This can be attributed to hormonal contraceptives. Hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills, patches, and intrauterine devices (IUDs), have gained popularity not only as contraception but also for their ability to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce dysmenorrhea symptoms. This dual benefit has significantly contributed to the growth of the market.

Furthermore, pain management techniques are evolving to better cater to dysmenorrhea patients. This includes the development of specialized pain clinics and services focused on addressing chronic pelvic pain associated with dysmenorrhea.

The COVID-19 pandemic constituted an unprecedented health crisis, impacting millions both physically and mentally. It had a profound effect on people's mental well-being, leading to feelings of loneliness, social isolation, financial strain, anxiety about virus transmission, and uncertainty about the future. Research has shown that periods of stress and psychological distress can disrupt women's menstrual health. Stressors can activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, causing alterations in the neuro-modulatory cascade that regulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), resulting in irregular menstrual cycles. These changes in menstrual patterns have contributed to a higher incidence of dysmenorrhea, significantly influencing the market.

A study published in March 2021 in Frontiers in Endocrinology revealed that 46% of women experienced changes in their menstrual cycles, with 30% reporting new cases of dysmenorrhea since the onset of the pandemic. Consequently, COVID-19 has had a substantial impact on the dysmenorrhea treatment market. Even as the pandemic subsides, the market is expected to witness growth over the forecast period due to the increasing prevalence of dysmenorrhea and ongoing research and development efforts.

Dysmenorrhea, commonly referred to as menstrual cramps, affects women, and its market growth is driven by several key factors, including the rising incidence of dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls and the increased prevalence of menstrual cramps linked to genetic disorders. A study published in March 2022 in BMC Women's Health found that among the women studied, 92.3% had non-pathological dysmenorrhea (primary), while 7.7% had pathological dysmenorrhea (secondary). Furthermore, a study published in February 2021 in BMJ Open highlighted that dysmenorrhea was a prevalent health issue among graduating university students, with a prevalence rate of 51.5% in Ethiopia. Factors like the father's educational status, chocolate consumption, irregular menstrual cycles, and a positive family history of dysmenorrhea were statistically associated with dysmenorrhea. Consequently, the growing burden of dysmenorrhea is expected to drive market growth in the forecast period.

Additionally, increased investment in research and development for innovative drug development is expected to propel market growth. A study published in July 2021 in the Journal of Clinical Medicine pointed out the development and testing of various combinations of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and spasmolytics, demonstrating significant potential for future research in developing effective modern combinations and exploring new indications for existing fixed-dose combination drugs for dysmenorrhea treatment. Hence, research efforts highlighting the potential of existing treatments for menstrual cramps and the development of new drugs are poised to drive market expansion.
