The acromegaly market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been substantial growth in the acromegaly market size. This market is projected to expand from $2.15 billion in 2024 to $2.57 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6%.
Factors contributing to the growth during the historic period include an increased prevalence of acromegaly treatments, heightened awareness about acromegaly, government initiatives, and the demand for effective therapy options.
The acromegaly market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for Acromegaly is predicted to experience accelerated expansion in the upcoming years, reaching a staggering $4.92 billion by 2029 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 17.6%.
This growth during the forecasted period is credited to increased funding in research and development for treating acromegaly, the upsurge in screening programs, elevated health expenditure, and the growing public interest in less invasive therapy options. Significant trends for the forecast period involve the creation of innovative avenues for acromegaly treatment, inception of specialized therapy for the disease, a robust pipeline of pharmaceuticals, progress in treatment alternatives, and sophistication in personalised medicine.
The rise in hormonal diseases like diabetes is anticipated to boost the acromegaly market's expansion. Such diseases, also referred to as endocrine disorders, stem from malfunctions within the endocrine system. Among these disorders, diabetes is particularly widespread and consequential. Acromegaly, along with other endocrine disorders, can emerge from an excessive hormone production such as that of the growth hormone or cortisol. Due to high growth hormone levels impacting insulin synthesis, almost 50% of acromegaly patients may experience insulin resistance or have type 2 diabetes mellitus. In a case study, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities in the UK reported in March 2024 that between March 2022 and March 2023, people suffering from type 1 diabetes who received all eight suggested care processes increased by 22%, while for type 2 diabetes, this number rose by 21%. Meanwhile, the percentage reaching HbA1c target levels jumped to 37.9%, constituting a record high as per the National Diabetes Audit (NDA). This escalation in cases of hormonal diseases is thereby fuelling the growth of the acromegaly market.

Leading corporations in the acromegaly market are strategizing to innovate new products and solutions such as generic lanreotide, with the aim to amplify treatment alternatives and better patient outcomes. Generic lanreotide is essentially an unbranded version of the medication that is used to treat acromegaly and certain kinds of neuroendocrine tumours. It serves as a somatostatin analogue, curbing the secretion of growth hormone and broadening patient access to efficient treatment solutions. For example, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., a generics-focused pharmaceutical firm based in Israel, became the first to launch a generic version of Sandostatin LAR Depot in America in October 2024. This injectable suspension, known as octreotide acetate, is prescribed for treating acromegaly and severe diarrhea related to carcinoid syndrome. This recent launch has expanded access to vital therapies for patients in need of such treatments.
