The global genitourinary drugs market may
find better growth prospects with surging demand and expanding healthcare.
Genitourinary drugs are expected to dominate a large part of the
pharmaceuticals market. Genitourinary drugs refer to pharmaceuticals used to
treat diseases of the urinary and genital organs such as kidneys, ureters,
bladder, urethra, and others. The large spectrum of diseases originating
from these organs drives a large market for genitourinary drugs.
The genitourinary
medicines market share is estimated to be worth USD 68.04 billion by the
end of the forecast period, with a CAGR of 3.40 percent (2022-2030). Growing
demand for genitourinary drugs owing to growing prevalence of genitourinary
diseases and expanding healthcare are the key driving force behind the
substantial market demand.
According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, urinary tract infections are the most common infection
demanding medical care and causing almost 9.6 million ambulatory care visits.
The economic burden of urinary tract infections is almost US$ 2 Bn annually.

Global Genitourinary Drugs Market –
Regional Analysis
North America dominates the global
genitourinary drugs market with the largest market share led by the U.S. As
opined by the National Kidney Foundation, urinary tract infections account for
almost 10 million physician visits every year and roughly, 20% females suffer
from urinary tract infections at least once during their lifetime. Factors such
as the enactment of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) is
expected to drive the growth of the North America market. According to the
CDC, 75% of infections of the urinary tract in hospitals are associated with
the use of urinary catheters. The growing use of urinary catheters, which
account for 15-25% of hospitalized patients is a large driver of the
genitourinary drugs market.
The genitourinary drugs market in Europe is
growing rapidly. The proliferating healthcare industry and greater rates of
hospital admissions in the region are expected to boost market growth.
The Asia Pacific genitourinary drugs market
is projected to become the largest market globally owing to expanding economy
and per capita income. Growing pharmaceutical manufacturing and a large
population drive the growth of the Asia Pacific market.
The MEA (Middle East & Africa market)
is expected to account for a large growth owing to low penetration and large
potential growth. However, poor economic and political conditions are hampering
the growth of the market.
Global Genitourinary Drugs Market –
Competitive Landscape
The genitourinary drugs market appears to
be fragmented and highly competitive due to the presence of several big and
small players. The market is commoditized and major drug classes are generic.
The market has also suffered a loss of exclusivity owing to patent expiration.
Thus, there is a lot of overcapacity in the
market, especially in the antibiotics sector. China has a large antibiotics API
manufacturing capacity which is idle resulting in large fall in prices. Many
players have exited the antibiotics manufacturing which is a downside of the
market.
