Global leuprolide acetate market growth is driven by factors such as increasing incidence of prostate cancer and endometriosis across the globe. According to the National Cancer Institute, prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men worldwide. Leuprolide acetate is widely used for treating prostate cancer and endometriosis-related pain. Moreover, development of advanced drug delivery formulations of leuprolide acetate providing enhanced efficacy and reduced treatment duration can also drive the market growth during the forecast period.

Increasing prevalence of prostate cancer

Rising prevalence of prostate cancer can drive the global leuprolide acetate market growth. Prostate cancer has been occurring at an alarming rate due to factors like genetics, diet, lifestyle and environmental factors. As per estimates by medical experts, 1 in every 8 men is likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Aging global population has also meant that the at-risk population base is rapidly rising. Leuprolide acetate is one of the leading drugs used in the treatment of prostate cancer. It is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist drug that works by stopping the production of testosterone by the testes, thus, slowing or stopping the growth of prostate cancer tumors that need testosterone to grow.

As testosterone production decreases or stops with leuprolide acetate treatment, the prostate tumor size usually decreases significantly or disappears in patients responding to therapy. It is commonly used as a go-to treatment for cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or for cancer that does not respond to initial hormone treatment or radiation therapy. Rising incidence rates and growing acceptance of leuprolide acetate as a preferred treatment option can boost demand from urologists and oncologists.
