Androgenetic alopecia, also referred to as male-pattern baldness or female-pattern hair loss, is a prevalent form of hair loss affecting both men and women. It is characterized by a gradual thinning of the hair, commonly starting with a receding hairline in men and diffuse thinning over the crown in women. Genetic factors and the presence of androgens, particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT), play significant roles in this condition.
The primary treatments for androgenetic alopecia include pharmaceuticals and devices. Pharmaceuticals encompass substances used in healthcare, typically medicinal drugs or chemical compounds. These medications are available in both prescription and over-the-counter forms and are utilized by both males and females. They find applications in various end-user industries, including homecare settings, dermatology, clinics, and others.

The increasing incidence of hair loss cases is projected to drive the growth of the androgenetic alopecia treatment market in the future. Alopecia, or hair loss, refers to the partial or complete loss of hair from the scalp or other parts of the body. Causes of hair loss include nutritional deficiencies, hormonal fluctuations, genetic predispositions, and heightened stress levels. Androgenetic alopecia treatments employ various methods, including hormonal regulation, follicle stimulation, and surgical interventions, to manage hair loss and stimulate regrowth. For example, as reported in March 2022 by the Hair Society, an organization based in the US, approximately 21 million women and 35 million men worldwide are affected by hair loss. Additionally, in 2024, according to the National Health Service, a government agency in the UK, around 8 million women and 6.5 million men in the UK experience hair loss. Moreover, over 650,000 hair transplants are performed annually. Hence, the increasing prevalence of hair loss cases propels the androgenetic alopecia treatment market.
Key players in the androgenetic alopecia treatment market are actively developing innovative drug options to address hair loss. These options target mechanisms such as promoting hair follicle regeneration, inhibiting hormones responsible for hair loss, and utilizing novel delivery systems such as topical treatments and oral medications. For instance, in June 2023, Pfizer Inc., a healthcare company based in the US, announced the FDA approval of LITFULO (ritlecitinib), a once-daily oral treatment for individuals aged 12 and above with severe alopecia areata. LITFULO is a kinase inhibitor that targets Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) and the tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (TEC) family of kinases. The FDA approval was based on the ALLEGRO Phase 2b/3 trial, where 23% of patients treated with LITFULO 50mg achieved 80% or more scalp hair coverage after six months, compared to 1.6% with placebo. This solution offers a new option for individuals experiencing significant hair loss, addressing a previously unmet need in alopecia areata treatment.

This strategic acquisition enabled Marksans Pharma to double its existing manufacturing capacity in India and broaden its product range to include tablets, capsules, ointments, liquids, and creams. Teva Pharmaceuticals, based in Israel, provides treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
