The global raloxifene hydrochloride market size is estimated to grow/decline by USD 637.31 million, at a CAGR of 7.93% between 2023 and 2028.
Raloxifene HCl, a notable compound in the pharmaceutical sector, has gained recognition for its therapeutic applications, particularly in women's health. Originally designed to address postmenopausal osteoporosis, it falls under the category of Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs). Demonstrating estrogenic effects in certain tissues while acting as an antagonist in others, raloxifene stands out for its bone-preserving attributes without stimulating uterine tissue. Widely used for preventing and treating osteoporosis, it maintains bone density, reducing fracture risks in postmenopausal women. Notably, its effectiveness extends to lowering the risk of invasive breast cancer in this demographic. Ongoing research explores its potential applications in cardiovascular health and neuroprotection, indicating possible diversification beyond initial indications. This expanding use in the pharmaceutical industry is poised to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 44% 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 growing incidence and prevalence of osteoporosis and the strong presence of major pharmaceutical vendors, including Amgen Inc., Eli Lilly and Company, and Pfizer Inc., are propelling the growth of the market in North America. The availability of reimbursement schemes and the coverage of drugs by health insurance plans will contribute to the market growth in the region. The high sales of raloxifene HCl drugs in the region can be attributed to the increased patient access to reimbursement schemes and coverage of drugs by Medicare Part D health insurance. GoodRx Holdings, Inc. provides 100% coverage on Evista drugs.
Furthermore, under the Lilly Cares program, patients with Medicare Part D or without medical insurance are eligible for group 1 medications if they have a gross annual income of around 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) or less. Therefore, the availability of reimbursement schemes and the coverage of raloxifene HCl drugs by health insurance plans will increase patients' access to drugs, which will positively impact the regional market growth during market growth.

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.
The increasing prevalence of osteoporosis driving market demand is notably driving the market growth. Osteoporosis prevalence has increased worldwide, due to which it is considered a serious public health concern. Osteoporosis is more common in older women than in older men. The improved standards of healthcare facilities and sophisticated treatment options have increased life expectancy rates, augmenting the ageing population. Globally, 200 million women are affected by osteoporosis. Hip fractures are more common in older people who have lost their skeletal strength due to osteoporosis. In the US and Europe, approximately 30% of all postmenopausal women suffer from osteoporosis.
In addition, the US Preventive Service Task Force recommends that women aged 65 years and above be screened for osteoporosis. Such recommendations will increase the diagnosis in the US. In 2022, the number of patients in Japan with osteoporosis was more than 15 million. Therefore, a rise in osteoporosis will increase the demand for therapeutic drugs, like Evista, containing raloxifene HCl. This will further drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Reimbursement programs and coverage of drugs by health insurance is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. The availability of reimbursement programs for patients with osteoporosis will drive the market growth of raloxifene HCl during the forecast period. Osteoporosis is most prevalent among the geriatric population. Therefore, major markets such as the US, Canada, Japan, and developed European countries, such as Germany, the UK, France, and Spain, are providing reimbursement schemes. For instance, GoodRx Holdings, Inc. provides 100% coverage on Evista drugs containing raloxifene HCl. Also, under the Lilly Cares program, patients with Medicare Part D or without medical insurance are eligible for group 1 medications if they have a gross annual income of around 300% of the FPL or less.
Moreover, this group 1 medication includes various therapeutics, including the Evista drug. In addition, SilverScript Insurance Company (a CVS Caremark company) offers medical coverage for Evista drugs. Therefore, the availability of reimbursement schemes and the coverage of drugs by health insurance plans will increase patients' access to drugs, such as raloxifene hydrochloride, which will positively impact the growth of the global market during the market forecast period.
Side effects of osteoporosis drugs are a significant challenge hindering the market growth. The pharmaceutical industry has various osteoporosis drugs that are approved for the treatment of osteoporosis. The condition is mainly treated by bisphosphonates, SERMs, and parathyroid hormones. SERMs such as Evista and bazedoxifene are used to treat osteoporosis. Common side effects of Evista may include hot flashes, increased sweating, headache, and dizziness.
However, some serious and life-threatening side effects may include an increased risk of blood clots in the legs and lungs. Women who have a history of heart attack have an increased risk of dying from stroke with the administration of Evista. Such side effects pose a challenge to the market growth even with the newly approved drugs, which may negatively impact the market growth and forecasting of the market during the forecast period.
