According to new report available with Grand View Research, the global human growth hormone (hGH) Industry is expected to be driven by the investments by market players, the presence of a strong pipeline, extensive R&D activities, robust product portfolio, and increasing government initiatives during the forecast period.

Human Growth Hormone Industry Overview

The global human growth hormone market size was valued at USD 4.6 billion in 2019 and expected to reach a value of USD 8.5 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 8.2% over the forecast period. Factors such as investments by market players, the presence of a strong pipeline, extensive R&D activities, robust product portfolio, and increasing government initiatives are expected to significantly drive the market.

Human growth hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is a peptide hormone responsible for growth stimulation, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration in humans and is hence important for human development. Growth hormone (GH) deficiency in humans is caused when the pituitary gland does not synthesize enough concentration of hGH. This deficiency in humans is treated by administering recombinant human growth hormone by subcutaneous injection. Various genetic disorders, including Prader-Willi syndrome and Turner syndrome, may also cause growth hormone deficiency in humans, leading to delayed puberty and shorter-than-average height.

According to data published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, growth hormone deficiency among humans is a rare condition and affects less than one in 3,000 to one in 10,000 children in U.S. Currently, hGH is widely abused as an anti-aging treatment in older adults and as a performance-enhancing anabolic drug by bodybuilders and athletes. However, HGH is a controlled substance as per the USFDA and has not been approved for anti-aging and performance-enhancing indications.

U.S. human growth hormone (hGH) market size

Robust product pipeline and extensive R&D activities for the development of novel growth hormone therapies are expected to be the major factors driving the market for human growth hormones. For instance, in September 2018, Novo Nordisk presented Phase II clinical trial data of its investigational GH therapy, Somapacitan, indicated for the treatment of pediatric growth hormone deficiency. In addition, in May 2019, Ascendis Pharma A/S published results from the Phase III clinical trial of its TransCon hGH, indicated for pediatric growth hormone deficiency. Similarly, various key players including Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd.; OPKO Health, Inc.; Eli Lilly and Company; Ferring Pharmaceuticals; Sanofi S.A.; and LG Life Sciences are involved in R&D activities for the development of novel human growth hormone therapies.

Furthermore, initiatives taken by various government and private organizations to spread awareness about GH deficiencies and human growth hormone treatment are expected to drive the market. Every year, the International Coalition of Organizations Supporting Endocrine Patients (ICOSEP), a U.S.-based nonprofit charitable organization, celebrates International Children’s Growth Awareness Day to spread awareness about the early diagnosis and treatment of growth hormone disorders among humans, especially children.

However, the high cost of hGH therapies and various adverse effects related to hGH may hinder market progress over the forecast period. For instance, according to UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, the possible side effects of GH hormone therapy include knee, hip, or other joint pain; allergic reactions, including rash, swelling, or hives; and an increase in blood sugar levels.
