Market Trends of Alopecia Treatment (Hair Loss) Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Alopecia Treatment (Hair Loss) Market according to our research experts:
Female is Expected to Hold Largest Share Over the forecast period
About one-third of women experience hair loss (alopecia) at some time in their lives. Among postmenopausal women, as many as two-thirds suffer hair thinning or bald spots. Hair loss in women often has a greater impact than hair loss does on men, because it's less socially acceptable for them.
Androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss in women. Alopecia can severely affect a woman's emotional well-being and quality of life. Although Alopecia is more common in male than female, the female has the largest share in the market owing to the factors such as high awareness levels coupled with increased frequency of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) causing a hormonal imbalance that leads to androgenetic alopecia.
North America Region Holds the Largest Market Share of Alopecia Treatment (Hair Loss) Market
North America dominates the Alopecia Treatment (Hair Loss) market due to the presence of technologically advanced healthcare infrastructure, high disposable income, and availability of novel therapeutics options pertaining to the treatments.

It is one of many recognized forms of alopecia, alopecia areata is the second most common form after androgenetic alopecia. Alopecia areata affects men and women equally, and it can occur in people of any ethnic background. Therefore, the high prevalence and the proportionally high treatment rates pertaining to hair loss in the U.S. are high major drivers for the North American market.
