Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection adequate for satisfactory sexual performance. It is a prevalent condition influenced by physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors, impacting men's overall well-being and quality of life.
The primary product categories for erectile dysfunction include drugs and devices. Drugs are chemical formulations designed to improve blood flow to the penis, enabling men to attain and maintain an erection. These products are distributed through hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online channels, serving end users such as hospitals and clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, pharmacies, and other healthcare providers.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.
The erectile dysfunction market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides erectile dysfunction market statistics, including erectile dysfunction industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an erectile dysfunction market share, detailed erectile dysfunction market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the erectile dysfunction industry. This erectile dysfunction market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The erectile dysfunction market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.46 billion in 2024 to $2.68 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rising incidence of cardiovascular diseases, increasing prevalence of diabetes, growing awareness of erectile dysfunction as a medical condition, an aging population leading to higher erectile dysfunction cases, and rising preference for personalized treatment options.
The erectile dysfunction market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an increase in psychological factors, higher rates of obesity and metabolic disorders, growing demand for non-invasive erectile dysfunction treatments, an increase in patient consultations for sexual health, and increasing government initiatives to promote men's health and lifestyle-related risk factors. Major trends in the forecast period include the expansion of e-pharmacies for erectile dysfunction drugs, advancements in penile implant technologies, technological advancements in erectile dysfunction diagnostics, innovative treatment methods targeting root causes of erectile dysfunction, and the introduction of effective phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors.
The forecast of 8.8% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Trade tensions could hinder U.S. adoption of ED therapies by inflating prices of PDE5 inhibitors and penile implant components developed in India and Ireland, resulting in reduced treatment accessibility and higher urology costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases is expected to drive growth in the erectile dysfunction market. Lifestyle-related diseases are primarily caused by unhealthy habits such as poor diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption. Factors contributing to the rise in these conditions include increased sedentary behavior, poor dietary choices, stress, and unhealthy habits. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is often an early indicator of lifestyle-related diseases, including cardiovascular conditions and diabetes, emphasizing the importance of timely medical intervention and healthier lifestyle changes. For example, in May 2022, the World Obesity Federation, a UK-based non-profit organization, reported that by 2030, one billion people worldwide equivalent to one in five women and one in seven men are projected to be living with obesity. This figure is expected to rise to four billion people, or 51% of the global population, who will be either overweight or obese by 2035. The increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases is, therefore, expected to drive the growth of the erectile dysfunction market.
Leading companies in the erectile dysfunction market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as over-the-counter (OTC) gels, to provide more accessible and convenient treatment options for individuals with ED. This approach aims to expand market reach and address unmet patient needs. An OTC gel is a topical medication available without a prescription, applied directly to the skin to treat specific conditions. For instance, in September 2024, Haleon plc, a UK-based consumer healthcare company, introduced Eroxon, the first FDA-cleared over-the-counter gel for erectile dysfunction. This groundbreaking product offers a non-invasive, fast-acting solution designed to improve accessibility and convenience for patients. Its topical application eliminates the need for oral medications, reducing potential systemic side effects and providing an alternative treatment option.
In September 2022, Advanced MedTech Holdings, a Singapore-based medical device company, acquired Shenzhen Wikkon Medical Apparatus Co. Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Advanced MedTech Holdings' presence in the urology sector in China by leveraging Wikkon's expertise in developing and manufacturing urology and shock wave therapy devices. Shenzhen Wikkon Medical Apparatus Co. Ltd., a China-based company, specializes in extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) for treating conditions such as erectile dysfunction and urinary stones.
