The global polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment market is expected to grow from $4.04 billion in 2021 to $4.26 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $5.25 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 5.4%.

The main drug types of polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment market are oral contraceptives, ornithine decarboxylase inhibitors, insulin-sensitizing agents, anti-depressants, diuretics, and aromatase inhibitors. Oral contraceptives are hormone-based drugs that are taken orally to prevent pregnancy. They prevent pregnancy by slowing ovulation and preventing sperm from entering the cervix. The various surgery types include ovarian wedge resection and laparoscopic ovarian drilling that are performed in hospitals and clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, diagnostic centers, gynecology centers, and feminist health centers.

The global rise in genetic and hormonal disorders is a key factor driving the growth of the polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) treatment market. PCOS is a prevalent hormonal disorder among premenopausal women worldwide, with reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic abnormalities. The PCOS prevalence ranges from 2.2% to 26% globally and is highly variable. In China, the figures range between 2% to 7.5% and 6.3% in Sri Lanka, 9.13% in south India and 22.5% in Maharashtra. The rise in genetic and hormonal disorders globally is expected to increase the growth of the polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment market.

Lack of drugs approved by regulatory bodies such as FDA (Food and Drug Administration) among many countries is a key factor hampering the growth of the polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment market. FDA has not approved pharmacological treatment for use in adolescents with PCOS. However, some pharmacological interventions are used to treat PCOS symptoms. For instance, rimonabant, a key appetite suppressant cannabinoid CB1 receptor antagonist was not approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the USA due to concerns about suicidal ideation and drug overdoses. Moreover, Minoxidil is the only drug approved by FDA, used for the treatment of female pattern baldness. Therefore, the lack of regulatory body approved drugs in many countries is a key factor restraining the growth of the polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment market.

Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is a major trend driving the growth of the polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment market. Laparoscopic ovarian drilling is a surgical treatment performed by the doctors in critical conditions that can cause ovulation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Ovarian drilling is often used by women with PCOS who often do not ovulate despite having attempted weight loss and use of fertility drugs. According to the study published in 2019 by the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics in major hospitals in France, after laparoscopic drilling, 47.4% (137 patients) had pregnancy and 51.8% (71 patients) of these were spontaneous. 16.6% (48 patients) women had at least two pregnancies after drilling and 56.3% (27 patients) of these were spontaneous. 33 women received second drillings. Of these, 57.6% (19 patients) achieved at least one pregnancy, within this 52.6% (10 patients) were spontaneous.
