The rise in the population of women going through menopause is expected to enhance the growth of the vasomotor menopausal symptom’s treatment market. Menopause is a natural occurrence that demarcates the conclusion of a woman's fertility period. Typically, it transpires between the ages of 45 and 55, with the median age being roughly 51. The growing population of women experiencing menopause, and the ensuing need for treatment to manage symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, is a major factor propelling the vasomotor menopausal symptoms (VMS) treatment market's growth. As an example, the Cuyuna Regional Medical Center in the US projected in November 2022 that 1.1 billion women would be menopausal by 2025, as life expectancy for women increases. Furthermore, the menopausal population is predicted to grow by 1.6% each year till 2060. Hence, the rise in the menopause population is fostering the growth of the vasomotor menopausal symptom’s treatment market. Government initiatives to improve women's health during menopause are expected to catalyze the growth of the vasomotor menopausal symptoms’ treatment market. These initiatives include funding for innovative studies on menopausal transition, preventing illnesses, and researching various pharmacological, clinical, and epidemiological elements of menopause. These actions are integrated parts of comprehensive women's health programs. In January 2023, the Government of New South Wales, an agency in Australia, initiated a $40.3 million investment spanning four years (from 2022-2023 to 2025-2026) to establish up to 16 new programs for women suffering from severe menopausal symptoms. Therefore, government initiatives geared towards improving women's health during menopause are enhancing the growth of the vasomotor menopausal symptoms’ treatment market.

Key players in the treatment market for vasomotor menopausal symptoms are working on creating new treatments like Veozah, and securing necessary approvals to enhance treatment options and address the underserved medical needs in patients. The sanctioning of new medicines for menopause presents better efficiency and safety in relation to current treatments. For example, Astellas Pharma Inc, a pharmaceutical firm based in Japan, was granted approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a US federal unit, in May 2023 for Veozah (fezolinetant) 45 mg once daily for treating menopausal vasomotor symptoms (VMS), which can be mild to severe. This is the initial nonhormonal neurokinin 3 (NK3) receptor antagonist to be sanctioned for addressing VMS related to menopause. It is a hormone-free solution that impedes a brain pathway that aids in managing these symptoms, providing an alternative treatment for women dealing with these symptoms, particularly those who cannot or do not wish to use hormone therapy. The authorization of Veozah underscores its promise as a new medication for managing menopausal symptoms.
