Endometriosis is a chronic disease, and is defined as the presence of functional endometrial mucosa outside the uterine cavity, often in the pelvis, but also more rarely in locations such as the pericardium, pleura cavity, and even in the brain tissue (World Health Organization, 2025). It is one of the most common benign gynecological diseases in pre-menopausal women, and affects roughly 10-15% of reproductive age women and girls globally (World Health Organization, 2025). Normally, endometrial tissue or endometrium forms the lining inside the uterus, which thickens, breaks down, and bleeds with each menstrual cycle. However, in women with endometriosis, endometrium grows in places outside the uterus, and it does not leave the body (Mayo Clinic, 2024).
In the 7MM, the diagnosed incident cases of endometriosis are expected to decrease from 382,224 cases in 2024 to 381,348 cases in 2034, at a negative annual growth rate (AGR) of 0.02%. In 2034, the US will have the highest number of diagnosed incident cases of endometriosis in the 7MM, with 236,327 cases, whereas Spain will have the fewest diagnosed incident cases of endometriosis with 12,625 cases. GlobalData epidemiologists attribute the decline in the diagnosed incident cases of endometriosis to changes in population dynamics, as well as the incidence rates in each market over the forecast period.
In the 7MM, the diagnosed prevalent cases of endometriosis are expected to increase from 2,769,483 cases in 2024 to 2,795,334 cases in 2034, at an AGR of 0.09%. In 2034, the US will have the highest number of diagnosed prevalent cases of endometriosis in the 7MM, with 1,507,985 cases, whereas Japan will have the fewest diagnosed prevalent cases of endometriosis with 86,850 cases. GlobalData epidemiologists attribute the increase in the diagnosed prevalent cases of endometriosis to changes in population dynamics and the diagnosed prevalence rate in each market over the forecast period.
