The global erectile dysfunction (ED) drugs market size is estimated to grow by USD 1.44 billion at a CAGR of 6.67% between 2023 and 2028.
The awareness of erectile dysfunction is growing across the world as it is an underdiagnosed and undertreated disorder. To overcome the lack of awareness regarding the conditions that lead to ED, several organizations, healthcare agencies, and government bodies are focusing on improving the quality of life of the patients. Furthermore, there are several erectile dysfunction support groups, under which patients are provided with information on personal experiences, the side effects of drugs, the dosage forms to be taken, information on the mechanism of action, and the half-life of the drugs used for the treatment of ED. Hence, the rising awareness of ED will fuel the growth of the market market during the forecast period.

The hospital pharmacy segment was valued at USD 1.54 billion in 2018. Moreover, hospital pharmacies also play a key role in clinical trials. Hospital pharmacies are often involved in the preparation and dispensing of medications used in these trials. By participating in clinical trials, hospital pharmacies contribute to the development of new drugs. All such factors make hospital pharmacy a critical channel that drives the segment growth; this, in turn, is expected to drive the growth of the erectile dysfunction (ED) Drugs market during the forecast period.
Oral drugs were the first to be developed for the treatment of ED. These drugs have been dominating the market for a long time due to the ease of administration or self-administration. Moreover, the OTC availability of these drugs is a major factor that contributes to their large market share. Furthermore, the patent expiration of these drugs is paving the way for genericization, which is responsible for the declining growth of this segment. The patents for drugs such as VIAGRA and CIALIS have already expired in major economies such as Europe and the US. Hence, such factors are expected to impede the growth of the oral drugs segment of the erectile dysfunction drugs market during the forecast period.
Topical drugs for the treatment of ED have demonstrated significant improvements in penile erection. The topical drugs for the treatment of ED are available in the form of gels and creams. Vitaros (alprostadil) is one of the topical cream formulations developed by Apricus Biosciences. This drug was withdrawn by the company because of the inconvenience of use and poor response. Similar drugs are available in different regions across the world. The year-over-year growth of this segment is expected to increase. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the tropical drugs segment of the erectile dysfunction drugs market during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 41% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. The ED drugs market in North America is led by the US. The growth of the market is driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. In addition, menopausal symptoms, such as vulvovaginal and clitoral atrophic change, vaginal thinning, and decreased elasticity, further result in dryness and the onset of dyspareunia.
Furthermore, key drugs for ED, including VIAGRA and CIALIS, have faced patent expiration in countries such as the US and Canada. In addition, the US is a developed country, and the economic status of the population is favorable. Thus, they opt for such expensive alternative modes of treatment. The genericization and the increased adoption of alternative treatments are leading to the decelerating growth of the erectile dysfunction drugs market in North America during the forecast period.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 had a negative impact on the ED drugs market in North America. However, in 2021, the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives?lifted the lockdown and travel restrictions, which led to the resumption of supply chain activities. Consequently, the demand for ED drugs rebounded with access to hospitals and clinics being restored. Moreover, the region is witnessing growing approval of new drugs that treat ED. Thus, owing to these factors, the regional erectile dysfunction drugs market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
Rising demand for ED drugs is the key factor driving market growth. With the rising health consciousness across the world, there has been a significant increase in healthcare spending for sexual wellness. As a result of this, there has been a surge in the demand for drugs for the treatment of disorders such as ED. This demand is arising not only due to the OTC availability of drugs but also because of the increase in the number of prescriptions for ED. Owing to the availability of treatment guidelines, physicians are using drug therapies for the treatment of ED.
Furthermore, the therapeutic benefits of drugs, such as a longer half-life in the body and the ease of administration even via the sublingual route, are expected to drive the adoption of ED drugs. The rising cyberpornography and the increasing number of advertisements for the treatment of ED are also expected to drive the growth of the global erectile dysfunction (ED) market during the forecast period.
The presence of novel drug formulations in late stages of development is the primary trend shaping market growth. The market is dominated by the oral formulations of the drugs used for the treatment of ED. However, in the next five years, several novel formulations of ED drugs, such as topical gels, injectables, and suppositories, are expected to emerge in the market. These novel formulations will attract a large number of patients owing to their therapeutic benefits. They are also expected to widen the scope of treatment for ED.
Moreover, for instance, the MonoSol Rx tadalafil oral soluble film by Adamis Pharmaceuticals is currently in the pre-registration stage of evaluation for the treatment of ED. The drug is the first sublingual formulation and is the first film alternative to the oral tablets available for the treatment of ED. Thus, such developments are expected to propel the growth of the global erectile dysfunction (ED) market in focus during the forecast period.
Availability of generics is a challenge that affects market growth. The entry of generic drugs has resulted in hampering the revenue growth of the global ED drugs market. For example, the generic version of VIAGRA, such as sildenafil citrate, is approved by the FDA. Other generic drugs for erectile dysfunction include Avanafil, Tadalafil, and Vardenafil, which is also commercially available. The sales of Viagra have declined in recent years.
Moreover, the decline in sales of Viagra led to a decline in the market share of Pfizer, which impacted the revenue generation for the company. Also, the low cost of generics is the second major cause of the decline of the market. Generic versions of Ed drugs can be obtained at a minimal price. Hence, the availability of generics in the market will act as a challenge to the growth of the global erectile dysfunction (ED) market during the forecast period.
The market report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
