Acromegaly market size in the 7MM was approximately USD 1.3 billion in 2023

Published Date :

The Acromegaly market size in the 7MM (US, EU4, UK, and Japan) was approximately USD 1.3 billion in 2023, with the US contributing ~55% of the total market share. Among therapies, somatostatin analogs led the market with ~USD 300 million, followed by growth hormone antagonists at ~USD 90 million in EU4 and the UK.

Acromegaly is a rare hormonal disorder caused by excessive growth hormone (GH) production, typically due to a non-cancerous pituitary adenoma. It commonly affects adults aged 30–50 and results in progressive tissue enlargement, altering facial features (enlarged nose, lips, jaw), hands, feet, and sometimes internal organs, leading to cardiovascular and respiratory complications, joint pain, and arthritis.

In 2023, diagnosed prevalent cases reached ~60,000 across the 7MM, with females slightly more affected (~14,000 cases). Diagnosis involves elevated GH and IGF-1 levels confirmed by MRI/CT scans. Treatment includes surgery, radiation therapy, and medications to control GH production. Early intervention can reverse some symptoms, though long-standing physical changes may be permanent. Key pipeline therapies include Paltusotine (Crinetics Pharmaceuticals) and CAM2029 (Camurus AB). Long-term follow-up is essential for managing hormone levels and related complications.

Acromegaly Overview

Acromegaly is a rare hormonal disorder caused by the excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH), most often due to a non-cancerous pituitary adenoma. The condition typically affects adults aged 30–50 and develops gradually, leading to progressive tissue overgrowth. This results in enlarged facial features—such as the nose, lips, tongue, and jaw—as well as swelling in the hands and feet. Internal organs like the heart and lungs may also be affected, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and respiratory complications, along with joint pain, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Diagnosis relies on elevated GH and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels and imaging tests like MRI or CT scans to identify pituitary tumors. Treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, and medications to reduce GH production. While early intervention can reverse some symptoms, prolonged disease may cause permanent physical changes, requiring long-term management and regular follow-ups.

Acromegaly Market Outlook

The Acromegaly treatment landscape is driven by leading companies such as Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Camurus AB, Amryt Pharma/Chiasma, and Recordati/Novartis Pharmaceuticals.

In 2023, the United States dominated the market with a value of approximately USD 700 million, accounting for the largest share in the 7MM. Within the US, somatostatin analogs led with ~USD 500 million, followed by growth hormone antagonists at ~USD 160 million.

Across the EU4 and the UK, the UK contributed the highest share—about 30% of the regional market size.

Current treatment approaches for acromegaly include surgery, medications, and radiation therapy, aiming to reduce tumor size, normalize GH and IGF-I levels, relieve symptoms, and manage related health issues. Medications primarily somatostatin analogs, dopamine agonists, and growth hormone-receptor antagonists help control the disease but are not curative and are often used alone or in combination. Radiation therapy (stereotactic or conventional) is typically considered when surgery is not feasible or fails to eliminate all tumor tissue.

The pipeline is robust, with novel agents such as somatostatin receptor type 2 (SST2) agonists and other somatostatin receptor agonists being developed by leading companies including Crinetics Pharmaceuticals, Camurus AB, Amryt Pharma/Chiasma, and Recordati/Novartis.

Despite limitations in current therapies, these emerging treatments are expected to address significant unmet needs, improve patient outcomes, and drive substantial market growth across the 7MM from 2024 to 2034.

Acromegaly Epidemiology

In 2023, the United States recorded the highest diagnosed prevalent cases of acromegaly in the 7MM, with approximately 27,000 cases, followed by Japan with around 9,000 cases. In the US, the gender distribution was nearly balanced, with about 13,000 males and 14,000 females affected. Regarding tumor size, approximately 75% of US cases were macroadenomas and 25% were microadenomas, a trend expected to rise. In the EU4 and the UK, there were around 20,300 pituitary tumor cases and about 1,060 non-pituitary tumor cases in 2023, highlighting regional variations in disease presentation.
