The global genitourinary drugs market size reached USD 33.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 39.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 1.8% during 2025-2033.
The genitourinary system includes kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, and genital organs, which play a vital role in reproduction and getting rid of waste products from the body. Its functioning can be hampered on account of congenital abnormalities, iatrogenic injuries, cancer, trauma, infections, hydronephrosis, and inflammation. Due to the rising number of individuals suffering from these diseases, there is a rise in the demand for genitourinary drugs across the globe. Genitourinary drugs help treat the reproductive organs, excretory system, and urinary tract conditions. They are also used in the treatment of bladder spasms and erectile dysfunction and suppressing uterine contractions to prevent preterm labor.
The increasing risk of genitourinary organ damage represents one of the major factors influencing the growth of the market. Moreover, as genitourinary drugs are effective in treating the pediatric population with chronic kidney failure and urinary tract infections, their sales are increasing around the world. Apart from this, the leading market players are focusing on advancing formulation techniques to introduce drugs that help treat chronic prostate cancer patients who have developed resistance to conventional chemotherapeutic and hormone therapy agents. Furthermore, several multinational companies (MNCs) are collaborating with biopharmaceutical leaders to launch next-generation therapeutics and strengthen their position in the market. This, in confluence with a considerable rise in the number of pipeline drugs in late-stage clinical trials, is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, the increasing funding for research and development (R&D) projects, along with improvements in the healthcare infrastructure sponsored by governing and non-governing agencies of numerous countries, is anticipated to drive the demand for genitourinary drugs in the coming years.
