Epidemiological Trends • According to the WHO, approximately 15% of men are affected by ED annually, with cases projected to reach 320 million by 2025. • ED is associated with both physical and psychological factors, including diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, stress, and mental health disorders. • Major risk factors include diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and elevated HDL levels. • Certain medications for hypertension, diabetes, depression, and cardiovascular conditions also contribute to ED prevalence. 2. Geriatric Population Growth • ED is highly prevalent among older men due to declining testosterone levels, reduced blood flow, and age-related physiological changes. • The elderly population is more likely to suffer from chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension, all of which increase ED risk. • This demographic trend significantly impacts quality of life and healthcare resource utilization. 3. Technological & Pharmaceutical Advancements • Innovations in drug delivery systems, coupled with a high disease burden and robust healthcare infrastructure, are accelerating adoption. • Rising demand for effective pharmaceutical therapies to address ED prevalence is a key growth driver. • R&D investments in novel ED drugs are increasing. A 2023 Dove Express study highlighted a significant rise in ED-related research over the past 20 years, with the UK, Italy, and the U.S. leading in publications. • Research recommendations emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative therapeutic strategies, psychological and relational considerations, and long-term clinical studies. Product Insights Viagra (Sildenafil Citrate) • Viagra (sildenafil citrate) dominated the market with a 57.3% share in 2024. • It was the first Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor approved for ED and was developed by Pfizer Inc. • Following the patent expiration in 2020, Pfizer launched a generic version at half the retail price (USD 65). • Generic versions have been available in Canada (2012) and Europe (2013). • Key companies offering generics include Aurobindo Pharma USA, Lupin, Sunshine Lake Pharma, and Torrent Pharmaceuticals. • Strategic initiatives such as research collaborations, partnerships, and agreements are expanding market presence. • Supportive reimbursement policies enhance adoption. For example, Viagra is eligible for coverage under FSA, HRA, and HSA accounts, provided a prescription is available.
