Genitourinary Drugs Global Market Report 2025

The genitourinary drugs market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $30.07 billion in 2024 to $31.02 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.2%. This historical growth can be attributed to the rising incidence of urinary tract infections, a growing number of benign prostatic hyperplasia cases, increasing public awareness regarding sexual health, an aging global population, and a higher prevalence of chronic kidney diseases.

The genitourinary drugs market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $34.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9%. Forecasted growth will be driven by a continued rise in urinary tract infection cases, increasing awareness about sexual wellness, improvement in healthcare infrastructure, higher demand for hormone replacement therapies, and greater adoption of oral contraceptives. Key trends anticipated during this period include innovations in drug formulation and delivery technologies, the use of digital health platforms, personalized treatment approaches powered by technology, the emergence of biologic therapies, and progress in precision medicine techniques.

The increasing prevalence of genitourinary disorders is anticipated to drive the growth of the genitourinary drugs market. These disorders impact the genitourinary system, which includes the urinary and reproductive organs, and encompass a range of conditions such as infections, cancers, and structural or functional issues. The rising incidence of these conditions is largely attributed to the aging population, as age-related changes elevate the risk of developing urinary and reproductive health problems. Genitourinary drugs play a critical role in managing these disorders by addressing infections, inflammation, and dysfunction, ultimately improving patient outcomes through targeted, convenient treatments that enhance quality of life. For example, according to a report by the American Cancer Society in April 2024, approximately 20 million new cancer cases were diagnosed worldwide in 2022, resulting in 9.7 million deaths, with projections estimating a rise to 35 million cases by 2050. Consequently, the increasing prevalence of genitourinary disorders is contributing to the expansion of the genitourinary drugs market.

Companies operating in the genitourinary drugs market are prioritizing the development of innovative treatments such as oral antibiotics to improve therapeutic convenience, enhance patient adherence, and effectively combat infections. Oral antibiotics are medications administered by mouth to treat bacterial infections. In March 2025, GSK plc, a pharmaceutical company based in the UK, secured FDA approval for Blujepa (gepotidacin) to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women and girls aged 12 years and older. This novel, first-in-class oral antibiotic functions by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication through the targeting of two essential enzymes - DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. Its unique binding sites help overcome antibiotic resistance, offering a more targeted treatment with improved safety and efficacy compared to traditional antibiotics.

In December 2023, Pfizer Inc., a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company, completed the acquisition of Seagen Inc. for $43 billion. This acquisition is intended to enhance Pfizer’s cancer drug portfolio by integrating Seagen’s advanced antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology with Pfizer’s global capabilities and expertise.
