The hypothyroidism market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Hypothyroidism Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Hypothyroidism refers to a medical condition characterized by an underactive thyroid gland, which is located in the front of the neck. As a result, this gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones, primarily thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), affecting various bodily functions, such as metabolism, growth, development, etc. Individuals suffering from the illness may experience fatigue, weakness, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, dry skin, hair loss, constipation, depression or mood swings, muscle aches and stiffness, impaired memory and concentration, menstrual irregularities, etc. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism typically requires a combination of clinical evaluation, medical history, and specific laboratory procedures. The healthcare professional may perform a thyroid-stimulating hormone test to determine the levels of hormone released by the pituitary gland. Additionally, thyroid ultrasound is also utilized to evaluate the structure of the thyroid and detect any abnormalities, such as nodules or enlargement. Several diagnostic investigations, including a free T4 test, thyroid antibody exam, total or free T3 test, etc., are further recommended to confirm a diagnosis and rule out other possible causes.
The increasing cases of autoimmune disorders, where the defense system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and damage, are primarily driving the hypothyroidism market. In addition to this, the rising prevalence of iodine deficiency, which interferes with the thyroid's ability to produce hormones, is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of lifestyle modifications, such as consuming a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, managing stress levels, etc., to support the effectiveness of pharmacological therapies and improve overall well-being is further bolstering the market growth. Apart from this, the inflating application of synthetic thyroid hormone replacement therapies, including levothyroxine, to effectively restore and maintain normal levels of thyroid hormones in the body, thereby regulating mood disorders and enhancing metabolic rates, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the emerging popularity of thyroid scintigraphy diagnostic techniques, which use radioactive isotopes or technetium-based tracers to visualize the functions and structures of the thyroid gland as well as monitor the response to treatment, is expected to drive the hypothyroidism market during the forecast period.
