by Atrophic vaginitis is a common condition affecting postmenopausal women, caused by declining estrogen levels in the body. Symptoms include vaginal dryness, itching, discomfort during intercourse, and increased risk of vaginal and urinary tract infections. Atrophic vaginitis is generally treated using estrogen-based vaginal medications like creams, rings, and tablets to relieve symptoms. Non-hormonal alternatives such as lubricants and moisturizers are also used. The estrogen-based treatments help restore moisture levels and thickness of the vaginal lining, reducing irritation. Effective treatment of atrophic vaginitis helps improve quality of life for menopausal women. The global Atrophic Vaginitis Treatment Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 658.33 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.5% 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 driving growth in the atrophic vaginitis treatment market is the increasing uptake of over-the-counter products for vaginal health. While prescription estrogen-based products remain the standard of care, growing focus on women’s health has boosted consumer awareness about preventing and managing common vaginal issues. This has spurred demand for non-hormonal drugstore solutions like moisturizers, lubricants, and probiotic supplements for vaginal microbiome support. Manufacturers are also developing innovative formulations like fast-dissolving tablets and applicator-free systems for better user experience. Additionally, more clinical studies evaluating the efficacy of alternative treatments including laser therapy, platelet-rich plasma injections, and stem cell therapy are ongoing, which could expand therapy options in the future.
