Genitourinary drugs are medications used to treat conditions affecting the urinary and reproductive systems. These drugs target a wide range of issues, including infections, incontinence, erectile dysfunction, kidney stones, and prostate disorders. For example, antibiotics like trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are commonly used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), while diuretics help manage fluid retention in cases of kidney or heart disease. Medications like sildenafil (Viagra) treat erectile dysfunction, and alpha-blockers such as tamsulosin are prescribed for symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate.

Drivers: The rising prevalence of genitourinary disorders is expected to drive market growth, along with the increasing number of pipeline drugs for these conditions. The launch of more generic medications by major pharmaceutical companies and smaller manufacturers will also contribute to higher industry revenue. Additionally, the growth in product launches, such as the FDA approval of cefiderocol for complicated urinary tract infections, and the surge in mergers and acquisitions, like AbbVie's acquisition of Allergan, will further accelerate market expansion. The increasing prevalence of genitourinary disorders is a major factor anticipated to drive market growth during the forecast period. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report from March 2022, 491 million people globally, aged 15 to 49 (13% of the population), are infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2 each year.

Challenges: High drug development and treatment costs are a significant challenge in the genitourinary drugs market, limiting innovation and patient access. Extensive clinical trials and regulatory compliance raise expenses, with drugs like Enzalutamide costing over USD 1 billion to develop. These high costs make treatments unaffordable, especially in low-income countries, restricting market penetration. Additionally, side effects and drug adherence issues, such as sexual dysfunction with finasteride and cognitive problems with anticholinergics, hinder treatment effectiveness and patient compliance, impacting market growth.
