Market Overview

By Product Analysis
1mg segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period
The 1mg segment is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the projected period, primarily driven by the rising number of people suffering from hair loss. The 1 mg dose of finasteride medication is mostly used for the treatment of hair loss among men. As more people show interest in opting for hair care treatments driven by societal perception, professional image, and more, there will be significant demand for finasteride medication in the coming years.
The 5 mg segment led the market with a substantial market size in 2023, largely attributable to its ability to offer effective treatment for prostatic hyperplasia. The growing prevalence of this disease among the larger population is likely to boost the demand for 5-mg-based finasteride in the foreseeable future, as it is approved for benign prostatic hyperplasia by the US Food and Drug Administration.
By Application Analysis
Prostate treatment segment garnered the largest market share in 2023
The prostate treatment garnered the largest market share in 2023 and is likely to retain its market position throughout the forecast period. This can be influenced by the rising utility of finasteride in prostate treatment over hair loss. In this, the prostate enlargement sub-segment received the highest growth due to the superior performance of finasteride in treating prostate enlargement health issues, which is the cause of difficulty in urination among males.
Prostate cancer segment is projected to grow at healthy rate, driven by the increased risk of developing prostate cancer among patients with benign prostatic enlargement. This is driving the demand for the finasteride treatment for benign prostatic enlargement, with the objective of lowering the significance of prostate cancer in the population.
By Distribution Channel Analysis
Retail pharmacies segment held a substantial market revenue share in 2023
The retail pharmacies segment held a substantial market revenue in 2023, which is augmented owing to the prevalence of consumers purchasing their medication at retail outlets. The higher familiarity and increased trust among the retailers are the main contributing factors leading to higher revenue for finasteride in retail pharmacies.
However, the rising number of telemedicine providers with user-friendly interfaces and e-commerce portal penetration with enhanced internet connections is likely to promote the demand for finasteride in online pharmacies. The growing prominence of offers by e-commerce companies is positively driving sales. For instance, in January 2023, Amazon introduced a new drug subscription monthly scheme with a $5 fee, enabling people to consume as many drugs as they can at a flat price.
