Challenge

Limitations in infrastructure and supply chain: The absence of an adequate healthcare system and sufficient resources, particularly in underserved regions, often imposes a significant roadblock in the estrogen replacement therapy market. The lack of infrastructural development in underserved regions also impacts the volume of production output due to the shortage of specialized manufacturing facilities. This creates an unavoidable scalability and affordability issue in this sector, restricting the optimum outstretch. For instance, the supply chain disruptions and updated trade policies of China increased the overall cost of production in this category by 20.5%. To mitigate this hurdle, more investments and government support for localized source cultivation are needed
