Progesterone Receptor Agonists Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2023
Progestins are the substances that convert the estrogen-primed proliferative endometrium to secretory and maintain pregnancy in animals spayed after conception. Progesterone is a 21-carbon steroid derived from cholesterol that is secreted by the corpus luteum in the later half of the menstrual cycle under the influence of luteinizing Hormone (LH). Progesterone Receptor Agonists are the Progesterone derivatives that act as substitutes for Progesterone and function to prepare the uterus for nidation and maintenance of pregnancy. It does this by preventing endometrial shedding, decreasing uterine motility, and inhibiting immunological rejection of the fetus. These agonists are used in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), Threatened Abortion, Endometriosis, Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding, and others. The development of new and novel molecules by the market players is imminent. Extensive research is being conducted globally to discover new and novel molecules to be used as Progesterone Receptor Agonists like etonogestrel are used to prevent pregnancy. The development and launch of new products will thus increase the market’s revenue in the forecasted years. According to the NHSBSA statistics of England, in 2021/2022, an estimated 1.93 million identified patients were prescribed HRT, which was an increase of 30.5% than the last year. Also, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report in 2021, 11% - 13% of women of reproductive age at any given time experience abnormal uterine bleeding. This increases with age, with prevalence increasing to nearly 24% in women in the age range of 36 to 40 years. There is a great demand for medical intended to provide relief from these disorders and drive the growth of the market.
A number of these inhibitors are in the market, while many are in ongoing clinical trials. Many companies have various products in their pipelines, with 48 products in different stages of clinical trials. 9 products in Phase 4, 14 in Phase 3, 5 in Phase 2, and 2 in Phase 1 of the clinical trials.

Drugs like Nexplanon (etonogestrel implant) and Utrogestan (progesterone) have been approved by the FDA and other regulatory agencies to treat various diseases. Nexplanon is a small patch under the skin that helps prevent pregnancy by releasing progesterone into the bloodstream. Utrogestan is also used to treat problems related to hormonal imbalance and disorders related to infertility, irregular menses, and abnormal uterine bleeding. These drugs are used in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in non-hysterectomized women, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, Endometriosis, Premenstrual syndrome, Endometrial carcinoma, Threatened abortion, and others. Combination pills are also available to nullify the adverse effect of another ingredient in the formulation with better efficacy and safety profile.
