The word alopecia means hair loss. Alopecia isn’t limited to the scalp; it’s possible on the body anywhere. The hair cycle comprises of three phases: Anagen, which is called as growth phase. Second phase is catagen, also called as rest phase and the fading phase, which is called as telogen phase. Ninety percent of the hair is in the development period (anagen) and the remaining, which corresponds to ten percent in the resting and shedding phases. When the hair falls out, this is the telogen phase and the hair is going to regenerate, and it begins to develop again in the (development) anagen process. Alopecia can be subdivided into two broad categories: scarring and non-scarring. Non-scarring or androgenic alopecia is the most common form. Many men start losing hair in the 20s, while women start losing their hair in their 40s or 50s. As a person grows older they lose hair. The pattern is the disparity between masculine hair loss and female hair loss. Front and temporal zone are the area where men usually lose hair because this area is more sensitive to di-hydrogen testosterone. while women appear to lose hair from the scalp’s central field. Female hair loss will also not result in complete baldness, while male hair loss can result in complete baldness. Males do not loose hair in the back of the scalp as this area is androgenic hormone resistant.

Increasing prevalence of hair loss, technological advancements in alopecia treatment, and the rise in prevalence of chronic diseases that are associated with hair loss are some of the major factors driving the market growth globally. According to data published by the American Hair Loss Association, it was stated that over 95% of hair loss in men is caused due to androgenetic alopecia. Similarly, data published by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, it was estimated that nearly 40% of men encounter some degree of hair loss by 35 years of age, 65% at 60 years, 70% at 80 years, and 80% at the age of 85.Owing to these factors, the androgenetic alopecia market size in terms of revenue is estimated to grow at a significant growth rate during the forecast period.

The growing prevalence of hair loss is one of the major factors driving the alopecia treatment market. According to data published by the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), around 60% of the global population has hair thinning problems and pattern hair loss is the most common form of hair loss in both males and females. Moreover, around 2% of the global population is at risk of developing alopecia areata in their lifetime globally, irrespective of gender.

The global rise in healthcare expenditure is also a major factor in the market’s growth. Major countries in North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Europe are witnessing a significant increase in per capita healthcare expenditure. For instance, according to the American Medical Association article published in March 2023, the healthcare expenditure in the U.S. increase by 2.7% in 2021 than previous year to USD 12,914 per capita or USD 4.3 trillion. Moreover, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) article published in May 2023, the UK’s healthcare expenditure in 2022 was approximately USD 304.55 billion, an increase of 0.7% over the previous year.
