Finasteride is commonly prescribed to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia). Finasteride's empirical formula is C23H36N2O2 and its molecular weight is 372.55 gms. Finasteride increases the number of scalp hairs in men who are experiencing hair loss.
The growing geriatric population worldwide is one of the key factors boosting market growth as the aging population is mostly facing the issue of gradual thinning of hair. Improving healthcare infrastructure and increasing awareness about various effective therapies are the main factors pushing the demand for alopecia treatment.
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted the global minoxidil and finasteride API market due to sudden disruption in the supply chain, which resulted in a harsh financial impact on industries and financial markets. Manufacturers of minoxidil and finasteride API were impacted during the pandemic, due to restrictions and the closure of global industries. Due to global transportation restrictions, raw material import and export were severely hampered.
Following COVID-19, it is expected that high R&D expenditure in Minoxidil and Finasteride API will fuel the market in the near future. Increasing support from various governments and environmentalists through investments in the manufacture of Minoxidil and Finasteride API, on the other hand, is expected to fuel the market following the pandemic.
The rapid growth in the number of alopecia patients with significant hair loss can increase the use of minoxidil and finasteride APIs. Alopecia areata disease happens when an immune system attacks hair follicles and causes hair loss. As per the American Hair Loss Association (AHLA), more than 90% of hair loss is caused by Androgenetic Alopecia and also around 32 million men and 20 million women above the 35 age group are suffering from hair loss which is increasing the demand for alopecia treatments.
Rising health issues such as cancer, hypertension, depression, arthritis, and cardiovascular diseases and to cure these diseases, patients need specific medication dosages which in turn results in significant hair loss.

On the basis of type, the market is bifurcated into a Minoxidil API and Finasteride API. The Minoxidil API segment holds a significant share of the market during the forecast period as it is safe for use for both men and women for the treatment of alopecia. Minoxidil helps slow the progress of hair loss and promotes the regrowth of lost hair and it is widely used as one of the most effective treatments for hair loss and baldness which can further boost the demand for Minoxidil API.
The Finasteride API segment is expected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period owing to the increasing benign prostatic hyperplasia in men and Finasteride API is widely used to cure the disease. It is a medication used to treat pattern hair loss disease in men which is known as androgenetic alopecia.
In men with pattern hair loss, the balding scalp contains increased amounts of DHT and miniaturized hair follicles compared with the hairy scalp. Finasteride API decreases the scalp and DHT concentration in androgenetic alopecia patients. It is taken by mouth and can be used to treat excessive hair growth in women.
Based on disease type, the market is fragmented into Minoxidil API (Alopecia treatment, Hypertension), Finasteride API (Alopecia treatment, BPH treatment, Other). The Minoxidil API segment is held a substantial share of the market, owing to the growing demand for hair loss and hypertension treatments.
In terms of the Route of Administration, the market is fragmented into topical, oral, and injectable. The topical category held a considerable share of the market over the forecast period, due as it is easy to apply and is completely non-invasive in nature.
