Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is a common type of male sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity. Erectile dysfunction treatment has gained significant popularity as oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors like sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil have been introduced which treats ED by improving blood flow. These drugs are non-invasive, provide fast relief, and have minimal side effects. The global Erectile Dysfunction Treatment market has witnessed increased adoption of topical creams that increase blood flow to the penis and facilitates easier and firmer erections. The global Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 4.54 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends: One of the key trends in the Erectile Dysfunction Treatment market is the introduction of injectable drugs. Drugs like Caverject and Viridal are self-administered via injection directly into the side of the penis. These drugs act faster than oral medications and provide an erection within 5-10 minutes that lasts up to an hour. Additionally, they do not require sexual stimulation for activation. However, they may cause pain, swelling or bruising at the injection site in some patients. Penile implants are also gaining popularity as they treat erectile dysfunction through a medical implant that allows the patient to engage in sexual activity when desired. While invasive, they provide a reliable solution for permanent ED cases that do not respond to oral medications or injections. Novel drug delivery methods like transdermal systems, buccal films and gels are also being researched which may eliminate issues like dyspepsia, high dosing frequency and reduced efficacy associated with oral medications.
