The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing endocrine disorder prevalence, improved diagnostic accuracy demand, expansion of specialty diagnostic centers, rising clinical research activity, adoption in advanced hospital laboratories. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use in endocrine diagnostic testing, growing focus on accurate hpa axis evaluation, expansion of specialized hormonal diagnostics, improved clinical differentiation of cushing’s syndrome, rising use in advanced endocrinology centers.
The increasing demand for diagnostic testing is anticipated to drive the growth of the acthrel market in the coming years. Diagnostic testing involves medical procedures used to detect or confirm the presence of diseases or health conditions in patients. The growth in diagnostic testing is driven by factors such as advancements in medical technologies, greater emphasis on early disease identification, rising health awareness, and an expanding aging population. Acthrel supports diagnostic testing by stimulating the pituitary gland to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), allowing healthcare professionals to assess adrenal gland function and diagnose conditions such as adrenal insufficiency or disorders associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. For instance, in December 2024, according to the National Health Service, a UK-based government department, the number of diagnostic tests conducted reached 2,544,809 in 2024, up from 2,312,030 in 2023. Therefore, the growing demand for diagnostic testing is contributing to the expansion of the acthrel market.
The increasing prevalence of endocrine diseases is expected to fuel the growth of the acthrel market in the future. Endocrine diseases are conditions that affect the endocrine glands, resulting in disruptions in hormone production and regulation, which impact overall bodily functions. The rising incidence of endocrine disorders is largely driven by unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, as poor dietary habits, physical inactivity, and chronic stress interfere with hormonal balance and elevate the risk of metabolic and gland-related disorders. Acthrel assists in the diagnostic assessment of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, enabling precise detection and management of adrenal and related endocrine conditions in response to the increasing prevalence of endocrine diseases. For example, in June 2024, according to the National Health Service, a UK-based government department, 3,615,330 individuals registered with a general practitioner were diagnosed with non-diabetic hyperglycemia or pre-diabetes in 2023, reflecting an 18% rise from 3,065,825 cases in 2022. Therefore, the growing incidence of endocrine diseases is driving the acthrel market.
Rising healthcare expenditure is expected to support the growth of the acthrel market going forward. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total financial resources allocated or spent on healthcare services and products over a defined period. The increase in healthcare spending is attributed to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases that require prolonged and often expensive treatment. Acthrel contributes to higher healthcare expenditure by enabling precise hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis testing, which is critical for diagnosing complex endocrine disorders such as adrenal insufficiency and Cushing’s syndrome, thereby encouraging greater investment in diagnostic technologies, treatment options, and specialized healthcare services. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, total healthcare expenditure increased by 5.6% in nominal terms in 2023, representing a 0.9% higher growth rate compared to 2022. Therefore, rising healthcare expenditure is driving the acthrel market.
Major companies operating in the acthrel market are Ferring Pharmaceuticals.
North America was the largest region in the acthrel market in 2025. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the acthrel market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the acthrel market report are Australia, India, China, South Korea, Japan, UK, France, Germany, USA, Canada.
Tariffs have moderately influenced the acthrel market by increasing costs for imported peptide synthesis inputs and diagnostic formulation materials. These impacts are most evident in hospital and specialty diagnostic center procurement. Higher tariffs have added cost pressure to endocrine diagnostic procedures. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging local pharmaceutical manufacturing partnerships. This improves long term availability of critical diagnostic agents.

Acthrel (corticorelin ovine triflutate) is a synthetic form of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) used for diagnostic evaluation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function. It supports the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency, helps distinguish between different causes of Cushing’s syndrome, and is used to assess pituitary gland function in clinical settings.
The primary applications of acthrel include the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis testing, and medical research. Diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency involves clinical assessments and laboratory tests to determine whether the adrenal glands produce sufficient hormone levels, particularly cortisol, to meet physiological requirements. Acthrel is mainly used in adult and geriatric populations and is distributed through hospitals and clinics, as well as retail and specialty pharmacies, to ensure broad availability across healthcare environments.
The acthrel market consists of sales of products such as lyophilized powder intended for injection.
