Uterine Fibroids Market

Market Overview:

The 7 major uterine fibroids markets reached a value of USD 1.3 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach USD 1.8 Billion by 2035, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9% during 2025-2035.

The uterine fibroids market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Uterine Fibroids Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2025-2035". Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, refer to noncancerous growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus (womb). Most women suffering from this ailment do not experience any symptoms. However, depending on their size, location, and number, fibroids can cause a range of indications, such as heavy or prolonged menstrual periods, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, difficulty emptying the bladder completely, constipation, backache or leg pain, enlargement of the abdomen, pain during sexual intercourse, etc. In severe cases, patients may also experience infertility or recurrent miscarriages. The diagnosis of uterine fibroids is usually made through a combination of the patient's medical history, characteristic findings, and pelvic examination. Several other diagnostic procedures, including magnetic resonance imaging and transabdominal or transvaginal ultrasound, are also utilized for assessing the size and location of fibroids and determining their impact on surrounding structures. The healthcare provider may further perform hysterosalpingography, which involves injecting a contrast dye into the uterus and fallopian tubes to detect submucosal fibroids and evaluate the patency of the fallopian tubes.

The rising cases of hormonal imbalances, which can disrupt the normal balance between estrogen and progesterone, are primarily driving the uterine fibroids market. In addition to this, the increasing incidences of several risk factors, including early onset of menstruation, nulliparity, high intake of red meat, genetic predisposition, obesity, etc., are also bolstering the market growth. Furthermore, the widespread adoption of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices (IUDs), since they can help to control heavy bleeding associated with the disease and provide symptomatic relief in women, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the escalating demand for gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, which work by suppressing the production of estrogen and progesterone, thereby reducing the size of fibroids and inducing a temporary state of menopause, is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the inflating utilization of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery, a noninvasive procedure that uses ultrasound waves to heat and destroy abnormal tissue without incisions, is expected to drive the uterine fibroids market in the coming years.

Key Highlights:

• Uterine fibroids are the most prevalent benign tumor in women, affecting 40% to 80% of those with a uterus.
• Uterine fibroids affect one in every four adult women.
• Uterine fibroids are most frequent in adults between 30 and 50 years old and less common in people who have not had their first period or have entered menopause.
• Most women with uterine fibroids are asymptomatic; however, approximately 30% will develop significant symptoms.
• According to a study, women with new-onset hypertension had a 45% higher risk of acquiring fibroids than women who had never had hypertension before.
• Uterine fibroids are detected in up to 70% of white women and more than 80% of women of African descent during their lifespan.

Drugs:

LUPRON DEPOT (leuprolide acetate for depot suspension) 3.75 mg or 11.25 mg in combination with iron therapy is used before fibroid surgery to alleviate anemia caused by vaginal bleeding from uterine fibroids in individuals who require 3 months of hormone suppression. LUPRON DEPOT treatment has a maximum duration of three months.

Myfembree (Estradiol/norethisterone acetate/relugolix) is a combination of relugolix 40 mg, estradiol 1 mg, and norethindrone acetate 0.5 mg. The combination drug is a once-daily oral tablet approved to treat heavy menstrual bleeding due to uterine fibroids and moderate to severe pain from endometriosis.
