DESMOPRESSIN MARKET OVERVIEW

The global desmopressin market size was anticipated to be worth USD 1.21 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.84 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

Desmopressin is a synthetic man-made hormone that is used to treat central diabetes insipidus, bed wetting in children, and excessive thirst and urination. Desmopressin is available in the form of oral drugs, injections, and nasal sprays. Desmopressin works by limiting the amount of water that is eliminated in the urine; that is, it is an antidiuretic. It works at the level of the renal collecting duct by binding to V2 receptors, which signal the translocation of aquaporin channels via cytosolic vesicles to the apical membrane of the collecting duct.

The growing number of diabetic patients around the world is a major factor in driving the demand for the drug. Furthermore, various forms of desmopressin products offered by pharmaceutical companies as well as recommendations of the drug by healthcare professionals are ascribed to propel the growth of the global desmopressin market. 

COVID-19 IMPACT

Non-Critical Treatment Reduced the Demand for the Drug

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the desmopressin market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several other pharmaceutical products including the supply chain for desmopressin experienced disruptions due to lockdowns, transportation restrictions, and increased demand for certain medical supplies that affected the availability of the drug. Apart from this, some patients delayed seeking medical care for non-emergency conditions, including those that require desmopressin, due to concerns about virus exposure or healthcare system strain. This resulted in delays in diagnosis and treatment that impacted the demand for desmopressin. However, post-pandemic, the market has started gaining demand for the drug owing to rising cases of diabetic patients which is projected to continue to grow over this projection timeframe.

LATEST TRENDS

Biopharmaceuticals and Biologics Drives Market Advancement

The market is projected to expand exponentially during this forecast owing to several key driving factors. Besides, the market is witnessing emerging trends and development which are also anticipated to expand the market dynamic. For instance, the development and approval of biopharmaceuticals and biologics, including monoclonal antibodies and gene therapies continues to be a major trend. These innovative treatments offered new approaches to various diseases. Apart from this, notable pharmaceutical companies are heavily investing in desmopressin acetate which plays a crucial role in boosting the market’s growth. Illustratively, in September 2017, Amring Pharmaceuticals made a strategic announcement of its intent to invest in desmopressin acetate as part of its dedication to delivering top-tier generic medications, outstanding customer service, and affordability to its customers. Consequently, these factors and trends are predicted to contribute to inflating the opportunities for the market.

Also, pharmaceutical marketing efforts and updated clinical guidelines may also play a role in driving the demand for desmopressin which is expected to contribute to the higher growth of this market throughout this projection period.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Drug Side Effects Can Obstruct Market Expansion

However, the side effects of desmopressin can be a restraining factor in its adoption and use. The severity and nature of side effects can affect patient compliance and healthcare provider reluctance to prescribe the medication which may impact the growth of this market.
