In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, Chief Medical Officers, VPs of Women's Health Business Units, heads of regulatory affairs, and commercial directors from pharmaceutical companies that specialize in FSD therapies, hormone therapy developers, and biotech companies that focus on women's health were examples of supply-side sources. Board-certified obstetricians and gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, sexual medicine specialists, medical directors of women's health clinics, and pharmacy benefit managers from academic medical centers, specialty women's health clinics, hospital outpatient departments, and telemedicine platforms were examples of demand-side sources. Primary research verified clinical pipeline timelines for new SERM and melanocortin agonist candidates, validated market segmentation across drug types (flibanserin, bremelanotide, ospemifene, estrogen therapy), and collected data on prescribing patterns, patient adherence issues, pricing strategies, reimbursement dynamics, and the effect of telehealth on treatment accessibility.
Primary Respondent Breakdown:
By Designation: C-level Primaries (28%), Director Level (33%), Others (39%)
By Region: North America (32%), Europe (29%), Asia-Pacific (28%), Rest of World (11%)
Global market valuation was derived through prescription volume analysis and revenue mapping across hormonal and non-hormonal therapeutic categories. The methodology included:
Identification of 35+ key manufacturers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America specializing in FSD treatments and women's health therapeutics
Product mapping across flibanserin, bremelanotide, ospemifene, estrogen therapy (conjugated estrogens, estradiol), testosterone therapies, and emerging pipeline candidates including intranasal therapies and novel SERMs
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to FSD treatment portfolios, including branded and generic formulations
Coverage of manufacturers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (prescription volume × ASP by country/region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations across drug types, disease indications (HSDD, dyspareunia), routes of administration (oral, parenteral, topical), and distribution channels (hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, online pharmacies)
