Market Overview
The global prostate health market reached US$ 41.34 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 99.41 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period 2025-2033.
Prostate health is a vital aspect of men's overall well-being, particularly as they age. The most common prostate-related issues include prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer. These conditions can lead to significant symptoms such as painful urination, frequent urges to urinate, and pelvic discomfort.
The prostate health market is expanding rapidly due to the increasing prevalence of these conditions and a growing aging population. Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition and may include medications like alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors for BPH, antibiotics for prostatitis, and various therapies for prostate cancer, including surgery, radiation therapy, and hormone treatments. As awareness of prostate health issues increases, the demand for effective diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions increases.
Executive Summary
Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints
Increasing Prevalence of Prostate Disorders
The rising prevalence of prostate disorders, particularly benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, and prostatitis, is a significant driving force behind the growth of the prostate health market. As prostate disorders become more common, especially among the aging male population, there is an increasing demand for effective diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
Prostate cancer, being the most prevalent cancer among men globally, contributes to millions of new cases each year. For instance, according to the estimates by the American Cancer Society, it is stated that about 313,780 new cases of prostate cancer are expected to be reported in 2025.
Additionally, according to the European Association of Urology in 2024, it is stated that about 2-6% of all men are affected. This surge in prevalence not only heightens awareness and concern about prostate health but also propels investments in research and development for new treatments and technologies. Thus, the above factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Adverse Effects of Treatments
Adverse effects of treatments for prostate health, particularly for conditions like prostate cancer, are significant restraints on the prostate health market. A substantial percentage of patients experience long-term complications following various treatment modalities. The risks associated with these treatments can be daunting; men who undergo prostatectomy face a sevenfold increase in urinary or sexual complications compared to untreated individuals. Additionally, radiotherapy can lead to bowel dysfunction and increases the risk of secondary cancers, such as bladder cancer, by nearly three times compared to untreated men

Segment Analysis
The global prostate health market is segmented based on indication, treatment, end users, and region.
Treatment:
Hormone Therapy segment is expected to dominate the global prostate health market share
The prostate health market is expected to see significant growth, driven primarily by the increasing prevalence of prostate cancer and the rising demand for effective treatment options. Among the various treatment modalities available, hormone therapy is projected to hold a dominant position in the prostate health market.
Currently, hormone therapy is recognized as the leading treatment for prostate cancer due to its effectiveness in managing advanced stages of the disease, particularly in non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHNPC). Companies are receiving approvals for their innovations and are meeting the regulatory needs and demands. For instance, in October 2023, Sumitomo Pharma Canada, Inc. its ORGOVYX (relugolix), an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor antagonist received approval from Health Canada. The approval is based on efficacy and safety data from the Phase 3 HERO study of ORGOVYX in men with advanced prostate cancer.
Additional factors contributing to its dominance include a growing geriatric population, advancements in drug formulations, and an increase in public awareness regarding prostate health.
Geographical Analysis
North America is expected to hold a significant position in the global prostate health market share
North America dominates the prostate health market due to several key factors contributing to its substantial market share. The region has a high incidence of prostate-related conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and prostate cancer. This growing target population drives demand for effective diagnostic and therapeutic solutions.
Additionally, North America benefits from a robust healthcare infrastructure, which includes advanced medical facilities and a strong presence of leading medical device manufacturers, fostering innovation and product development. For instance, in June 2023 AstraZeneca and Merck received U.S. FDA approval for its LYNPARZA in combination with abiraterone and prednisone or prednisolone (abi/pred) for the treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA-mutated (BRCAm) metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
In August 2023, the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies received the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its AKEEGA (niraparib and abiraterone acetate) for the treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA-positive mCRPC, as detected by an FDA-approved test. It is the first and only dual-action tablet combining a PARP inhibitor with abiraterone acetate, given with prednisone. Collectively, these factors position North America in a dominant position in the prostate health market.
