Prostaglandin Market Size & Share, by Type (Human, Veterinary Prostaglandin); Application (Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology, Gynecology & Obstetrics) - Global Supply & Demand Analysis, Growth Forecasts, Statistics Report 2025-2037

Growth Drivers

• Increasing Application of Prostaglandin for Treating Patients Suffering from Migraine Headaches
  Migraine is a neurological condition that is frequently characterized by debilitating and intense headaches. Some of the major symptoms caused by migraines include vomiting, sensitivity to light & sound, nausea, and others. One of the major reasons for implicating prostaglandins in pathogenesis is for the cause of migraine headaches. These compounds are able to constrict or relax the cerebral blood vessels, which helps in reducing migraine headaches. Moreover, these compounds have reportedly known to potentiate the effects of bradykinin and other forms of chemically induced pain by sensitizing the peripheral pain receptors. Additionally, prostaglandin also helps in the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases, such as edema, erythema, and tissue damage, and is capable of modulating the release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals. Prostaglandin inhibitors are also effectively used for shortening the duration of migraine attacks and reduce the side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
• Increase in the Number of Cardiovascular Patients
  In other statistics by the WHO, every year 17.9 million people die due to cardiovascular diseases.
  
  Development in the area of neonatal cardiac surgery has increased the importance of rapid diagnosis and stabilization of infants with congenital heart disease. With the increasing applications of prostaglandin in the early stages of detection of cardiovascular diseases, the compound helps the patients to be more clinically stable for surgery. Therapy with prostaglandin can effectively maintain an infant's cardiovascular function until a palliative or corrective procedure can be performed. Additionally, the growing geriatric population with major congenital heart disease is further projected to enhance the prostaglandin market growth over the forecast period.

Challenges

• Health Concerns Associated with the Uneven Production of Prostaglandins
  The primary issues with uneven prostaglandins are the unwanted inflammation in the body. Excessive production of prostaglandin can cause chronic diseases with significant pain. Moreover, menstruation bleeding, arthritis, and some types of cancer, among others are connected to the high amount of prostaglandin formation. Sometimes, the formation of prostaglandin is not enough to heal the injury, which in turn is also anticipated to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
