Globally, thyroid gland disorders (thyroid nodules, hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism) affect around 5% to 10% of the population. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism affect majority of the population primarily due to increasing incidence of autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Grave’s disease. Additionally, iodine deficiency, a widespread problem across the world, is considered a prime risk factor for the increase in prevalence of thyroid disorders. Based on disorder, the thyroid gland disorders treatment market has been primarily categorized into two segments: hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

The hypothyroidism segment includes drugs such as Levothyroxine and Liothyronine. The hyperthyroidism segment covers drugs such as Imidazole and Propacil. The thyroid gland disorders treatment market is expanding at a strong growth rate primarily due to rise in thyroid disorder patient population globally, increase in demand for drugs for hypothyroidism such as Synthroid and Euthyrox in developed and developing regions, and consistent efforts by leading thyroid drug manufacturers to develop breakthrough therapeutics.
