Propranolol Drug Global Market Report 2025

The propranolol drug market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.05 billion in 2024 to $1.11 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the rising incidence of migraine disorders, an increasing focus on affordable healthcare solutions, growing adoption of beta-blockers in post-surgery recovery, expanding healthcare infrastructure in developing regions, and a rising demand for long-acting drug formulations.

The propranolol drug market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.37 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the growing demand for non-invasive treatments, increasing research and development in cardiovascular drugs, rising healthcare spending in emerging economies, and the increasing adoption of personalized medicine in cardiovascular treatments. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in sustained-release formulations, the development of advanced drug delivery systems, innovations in personalized medicine for cardiovascular treatments, the integration of digital health tools with drug therapy, and advanced research in combination therapies for anxiety and hypertension.

The rising prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is expected to drive the expansion of the propranolol drug market. CVDs are a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, including conditions such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke. The increase in cardiovascular diseases is largely due to unhealthy eating habits, with excessive consumption of processed foods and fats leading to elevated cholesterol levels, which in turn raise the risk of heart-related issues. Propranolol is effective in managing these diseases by regulating heart rate and lowering blood pressure, making it particularly beneficial for patients with hypertension and arrhythmias. The drug also enhances heart function, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes, thus improving overall cardiovascular health. For example, in May 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that heart disease caused 702,880 deaths in 2022, accounting for one in every five deaths in the U.S. Additionally, around 805,000 people in the United States suffer a heart attack each year. Consequently, the growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is driving the demand for propranolol.

Key players in the propranolol drug market are focusing on developing advanced formulations, such as extended-release propranolol drugs, to improve patient adherence and overall therapeutic outcomes. Extended-release formulations are designed to gradually release the drug over time, ensuring sustained therapeutic effects and reducing the need for frequent dosing. This not only improves patient compliance but also enhances treatment effectiveness. For example, in August 2023, Lupin Pharma Canada Ltd., a pharmaceutical company based in Canada, launched long-acting propranolol capsules in response to the discontinuation of Inderal long-acting (LA). The new extended-release formulation, available in doses of 60 mg, 80 mg, 120 mg, and 160 mg, offers consistent symptom relief for Canadian patients, improving adherence and treatment outcomes, while increasing healthcare access.

In December 2024, Exicure Inc., a biotechnology company based in the U.S., entered into a partnership with GPCR Therapeutics Inc. This collaboration aims to bolster Exicure’s position as a clinical-stage biotech company by acquiring technical expertise and gaining access to GPCR Therapeutics' proprietary CXCR4 inhibitor technology. This partnership enhances Exicure’s drug development pipeline, particularly in the areas of immuno-oncology, fibrosis, and obesity treatments. GPCR Therapeutics Inc., based in South Korea, is also involved in the manufacturing of propranolol drugs.
