The hypothyroidism segment was valued at USD 1.64 billion in 2018.  During its early stage, the disorder does not cause noticeable events. Over time, untreated hypothyroidism can result in the development of various health problems, such as obesity, infertility, joint pain, and cardiovascular diseases. The disorder affects women more often than men. However, geriatric age groups are also prone to the development of hypothyroidism. Growing awareness about the timely diagnosis of chronic diseases is propelling the demand for efficient treatment options, which is boosting the sales growth of commercially available medications for treating hypothyroidism.

The chronic nature of hypothyroidism, associated with its rising prevalence, leads to a surge in demand for medications and treatment in the hypothyroidism segment. These factors contribute to the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
