Oxytocin Market Trends



  • Increasing number of difficulties during childbirth is driving the market growth


Since oxytocin is frequently used to treat delivery difficulties, the number of cases of these complications has been rising over time and is expected to do so in the years to come. As a result, the market for this medication is expected to rise over the forecast period. According to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, women who experience difficulties throughout pregnancy are twice as likely to experience difficulties during childbirth. According to the June 2020 publication "Trends in Pregnancy and Childbirth Complications in the U.S.", between 2014 and 2018, there was a 16.4% increase in pregnancy difficulties and a 14.2% increase in birthing complications. The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association reports that eclampsia was the birthing complication that experienced the greatest growth between 2014 and 2018. In the United States, the prevalence rate of eclampsia grew by 57.9% between 2014 and 2018, rising from 1.1 cases per 1,000 to 1.7 cases per 1,000. The frequency of other problems has also been rising, including cardiomyopathy, embolism, sepsis, and respiratory distress. Oxytocin is becoming more and more necessary to start labor, intensify uterine contractions, and manage postpartum hemorrhage as a result of the rising number of difficulties associated with childbirth. Throughout the projected period, the rising trend of birth abnormalities is anticipated to support the oxytocin market's expansion.


Market expansion is facilitated by cooperative ventures and advancements related to oxytocin. Tonix Pharmaceuticals and Katana Pharmaceuticals, for instance, have a licensing agreement for Tonix's intranasal potentiated oxytocin, per the January 2021 update. In particular, insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity will see a rise in the use of drugs to treat metabolic disorders. The principal indication for Tonix is migraine, although preclinical results also demonstrate the effectiveness of the intranasal oxytocin product TNX-1900 in disorders of the central nervous system. In June 2020, the company initially purchased oxytocin-potentiated therapy from Trigemina; this arrangement adds to that acquisition. Joint ventures and partnerships connected to oxytocin provide several indications and support the growth of the oxytocin market throughout the projected timeframe. Thus, driving the oxytocin market revenue.
