The estrogen receptor modulators market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.73 billion in 2024 to $17.12 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for targeted cancer therapies, increased research on selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), a growing number of clinical trials for estrogen-related conditions, and expanding uses in male health disorders.
The estrogen receptor modulators market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.68 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding pipeline of next-generation SERMs, increased investment in oncology research and development, rising prevalence of hormone-sensitive cancers, broader adoption in personalized medicine, and the expected approval of novel estrogen receptor modulators. Key trends during this period include advancements in selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERDs), development of tissue-selective modulators, innovations in combination therapy approaches, progress in biomarker-based drug targeting, and the creation of oral SERMs with enhanced safety profiles.
The increasing prevalence of breast cancer is expected to drive the growth of the estrogen receptor modulators market in the future. Breast cancer is a condition where abnormal cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, forming tumors that can invade surrounding tissues or spread to other areas of the body. The rise in breast cancer cases is linked to more women delaying childbirth, which alters hormone levels and increases lifetime estrogen exposure, thereby elevating cancer risk. Estrogen receptor modulators play a key role in managing breast cancer by blocking or modifying estrogen’s effects on cancer cells, slowing their growth, and reducing the risk of disease progression or recurrence. For example, in February 2025, the United Nations, a US-based intergovernmental organization, reported that in 2022, breast cancer accounted for around 2.3 million new cases and 670,000 deaths worldwide. By 2050, global estimates predict a 38% increase in new cases and a 68% rise in annual deaths, underscoring the growing impact of the disease. Hence, the rising prevalence of breast cancer is propelling the estrogen receptor modulators market forward.
Leading companies in the estrogen receptor modulators market are concentrating on developing innovative treatments, such as estrogen-based menopause hormone therapy, to effectively alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flashes while minimizing risks associated with hormone-related cancers and cardiovascular issues. Estrogen-based menopause hormone therapy involves administering estrogen alone or combined with progestin to ease menopause-related symptoms. For example, in June 2023, Pfizer Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology firm, reintroduced DUAVEE (conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene) with updated packaging. This hormone therapy targets postmenopausal women with a uterus and combines conjugated estrogens with bazedoxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator. It offers an alternative to conventional estrogen-progestin treatments by lowering the risk of uterine lining thickening. DUAVEE is administered once daily as an oral tablet and is advised for the shortest period necessary to manage symptoms. Common side effects include muscle spasms, nausea, and stomach discomfort.
In April 2024, Atossa Therapeutics, a US-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) for various breast cancer treatments, partnered with Weill Cornell Medicine to explore the potential synergy between antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and (Z)-endoxifen. This collaboration aims to assess and confirm the effectiveness of combining (Z)-endoxifen with ADCs to develop improved combination therapies for advanced and metastatic breast cancer. Weill Cornell Medicine, a US-based academic medical institution, is recognized for its leading research in oncology and other therapeutic fields.

Estrogen receptor modulators are drugs that attach to estrogen receptors and either mimic estrogen’s effects (agonists) or inhibit estrogen activity (antagonists), depending on the specific tissue targeted. This selective action enables their use in treating various hormone-related conditions such as breast cancer, osteoporosis, and menopausal symptoms, providing estrogen’s benefits in certain tissues while reducing associated risks in others.
The primary types of estrogen receptor modulators include selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), non-selective estrogen receptor modulators, and selective estrogen receptor down regulators (SERDs). SERMs are compounds that bind to estrogen receptors across different tissues, acting as either agonists or antagonists based on the tissue involved. They can be administered orally, by injection, or topically, and are used in treatments for breast cancer, osteoporosis, infertility, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). These modulators are distributed via hospital pharmacies, online pharmacies, and retail pharmacies, serving end users such as home care providers, specialty centers, and others.
