Androgenetic alopecia, also referred to as male-pattern baldness or female-pattern hair loss, is a prevalent type of hair loss affecting both men and women. It involves a gradual thinning of the hair, usually beginning with a receding hairline in men and widespread thinning over the crown in women. This condition is affected by genetic factors and the presence of androgens, especially dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
The main types of androgenetic alopecia treatments include pharmaceuticals and devices. A pharmaceutical is a substance used in healthcare, generally a medicinal drug or chemical compound. The different categories of medications are prescription and over-the-counter, and they are used by both males and females. They are utilized by various end-user settings, including homecare, dermatology, clinics, and others.
Tariffs have influenced the androgenetic alopecia treatment market by increasing the cost of imported pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and laser therapy equipment, disrupting global supply chains. Prescription medications, oral treatments, and device segments have been particularly affected, with regions like Asia-Pacific and North America seeing higher impact due to dependency on imports. While the tariffs have temporarily increased costs, they also encourage local manufacturing and innovation in cost-effective hair restoration devices and formulations, offering potential growth opportunities for domestic players.

The increasing incidence of hair loss is expected to drive the growth of the androgenetic alopecia treatment market in the coming years. Hair loss, or alopecia, refers to the partial or complete shedding of hair from the scalp or other areas of the body. Cases of hair loss are associated with factors such as nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, genetics, and elevated stress levels. Androgenetic alopecia treatments function through different mechanisms, including hormonal regulation, follicle stimulation, and surgical restoration, to manage hair loss and encourage regrowth. For example, in 2024, the National Health Service, a UK government agency, reported that around 8 million women and 6.5 million men in the UK are affected by hair loss. Furthermore, over 650,000 hair transplants are performed annually. Consequently, the rising prevalence of hair loss contributes to the growth of the androgenetic alopecia treatment market.
Major companies operating in the androgenetic alopecia treatment market are creating innovative drug options to address hair loss through approaches such as stimulating hair follicle regeneration, blocking hormones that contribute to hair loss, and employing novel delivery methods like topical applications and oral medications. For example, in June 2023, Pfizer Inc., a US-based healthcare company, announced FDA approval of LITFULO (ritlecitinib), a once-daily oral treatment for individuals aged 12 years and older with severe alopecia areata. LITFULO is a kinase inhibitor that targets Janus kinase 3 (JAK3) and the tyrosine kinase expressed in the hepatocellular carcinoma (TEC) family of kinases. The FDA approval was based on the ALLEGRO Phase 2b/3 trial, in which 23% of patients receiving LITFULO 50mg achieved 80% or more scalp hair coverage after six months, compared to 1.6% with placebo. This treatment provides a new option for individuals facing significant hair loss, addressing a previously unmet need in alopecia areata management.

This strategic move enabled Marksans Pharma to double its existing Indian manufacturing capacity and broaden its product portfolio to include tablets, capsules, ointments, liquids, and creams.
