Iodine Deficiency Drug Market Research, 2031
The global iodine deficiency drug market size was valued at $3.7 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $6.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2022 to 2031. Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) are one of the biggest worldwide public health issue. An inadequate dietary intake of iodine leads to insufficient production of thyroid hormones. Inadequate hormone production adversely affects tissues, resulting in the disease states known collectively as iodine deficiency disorders, or IDD. Severe and prolonged iodine deficiency may lead to a deficient supply of thyroid hormones. This condition is referred to as hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism can affect people of all ages, genders and ethnicities. It’s a common condition, particularly among women over age 60. Women are generally more likely to develop hypothyroidism after menopause than earlier in life. In addition, hypothyroidism is commonly seen in children in many countries. For instance, according to an article published in National Library of Medicine 2021, in Oman showed 10% school children of 9–12 years age, signs of hypothyroidism and 88.1% of the children did not show any symptoms.
The drivers for iodine deficiency drug market size are increase in prevalence of hypothyroidism in geriatric populations, increase in hypothyroidism in children of 9-15 years of age, education of iodine deficiency disorders across the globe and various healthcare plans by organizations for deficiency disorders.
The increase in cases of geriatric hypothyroidism is seen all over the world due to age and less production of thyroid hormones. Thus, this factor drives the growth of the iodine deficiency drug market as many developing regions have significant older population. For instance, according to article published in Journal of Endocrine Society 2019, 3 – 3.5% population of Europe suffers from hypothyroidism as compared to general population which is 0.2 – 5%.
Every year many education programs and camps are organized to educate people about iodine deficiency disorders, especially across the developing regions. For instance, according American Thyroid Association 2021, every year January month is celebrated as thyroid awareness month to educate people about hypothyroidism and deficiency disorders across the globe.
In addition, many hospitals and research institute in India educate people regarding iodine deficiency. For instance, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital & Medical Research Institute, every year in January, education about hypothyroidism is carried for people through qualified physicians and endocrine researchers. These education programs across the globe fuel the iodine deficiency drug market growth.
Further, increase in hypothyroidism in children of 9-15 years of age in many developing countries is seen, which leads to demand in iodine deficiency drugs. For instance, according to research article in Pediatric Research 2022, incidence of congenital hypothyroidism in Finland is 3.6% due to which they are monitored with proper dosage forms to prevent further growth & development problems in children. So due to surge in demand for drugs for treating hypothyroidism is noted, which boost the market growth.
The pharmaceutical company are focusing on this sector and are receiving approvals to meet the demand of levothyroxine drugs in countries where healthcare facility is undeveloped. For instance, Zydus Cadila in 2021 received the U.S. FDA approval for thyroid drug for hypothyroidism. Thus, various drug launches and research in this field boost the growth of iodine deficiency drug market.
On the other hand, side effects associated with levothyroxine drug used for hypothyroidism hinders the growth during iodine deficiency drug market forecast. The major side effect associated with levothyroxine is increased or irregular palpitations. In addition, physicians suggest regular blood tests to monitor levels of iodine in pregnancy, for heart patients which might limit the population or hinder the growth of this market.
The pharmaceutical players showed keen interest in developing regions and countries with high iodine deficiency disorders for manufacturing and commercializing various levothyroxine drug for treatment of disorders. Thus, companies are focusing on iodine deficiency drug market opportunity in developing countries.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Market
The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the health care sector across the world. The disease has forced a number of industries to shut their doors temporarily, including several sub-domains of health care. However, COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the iodine deficiency drug industry. There was surge in demand of thyroxin drugs required to treat iodine deficiency disorders. During pandemic, increase in cases of thyroid disease showed rise in geriatric population, congenital hypothyroidisms and pregnancy hypothyroidism. For instance, according to an article published in National Library of Medicine 2020, increase in cases of hypothyroidism during COVID-19 was observed i.e., 5.2% cases observed. Also, during pandemic, many drug formulations were approved in regions such as Asia-Pacific and Europe. Thus, COVID-19 pandemic showed positive impact on iodine deficiency drug industry.
