by Understanding Care Patterns of High Risk Patients Gains Importance During COVID-19 Pandemic
The entire U.S. healthcare system is planning, preparing, and collaborating to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to maintain continuous supply chains, manufacturers in the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market are striving to understand care patterns of high-risk patients and those with respiratory diseases. Manufacturers are establishing robust supply chains with urgent care centers, retail clinics in pharmacies, and workplace clinics to keep economies running during the pandemic. Since emergency departments are already stretched thin, these sites can act like wetlands to help absorb part of the overflow of patients with or without illnesses.

Telehealth services is emerging as a new business model for stakeholders in the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market. These services are found to be most effective first line of access for non-elderly Americans with mild illness or with a risk of COVID-19.
Side Effects of ACTH Require Management by Healthcare Providers
The adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market is expected to surpass US$ 1.91 Bn by 2031. However, possible side effects of ACTH such as bone loss, indigestion, and muscle weakness are causing concerns among patients, pertaining to corticotropin as parenteral solution for injection. Hence, manufacturers are working closely with healthcare providers to create awareness about the management of side effects.
ACTH is being made available online for screening of patients presumed to have adrenocortical insufficiency. The growing incidence of stress and anxiety among individuals is acting as a key driver of the market, since stress may increase ACTH secretion in the body. On the other hand, ACTH is being used therapeutically as a drug to treat multiple sclerosis and infantile spasms.
High Prevalence of Cushing’s Disease, Hypopituitarism Creating Revenue Opportunities
ACTH blood tests are used in conjunction with cortisol tests to help detect, diagnose, and monitor conditions associated with excessive or deficient cortisol. The high prevalence of Cushing’s disease, Cushing syndrome, Addison disease, and hypopituitarism are contributing to the growth of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market, which is slated to clock a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period.
Measuring both cortisol and ACTH can help to differentiate different health conditions since the level of ACTH normally changes in the opposite direction to the level of cortisol. Since too much cortisol can lead to health issues such as acne, obesity, red face, and the likes, such findings are generating revenue opportunities for stakeholders in the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market.
Abnormal Test Results, Ectopic Production of ACTH Influencing Market Growth
Individuals with insufficient cortisol production may exhibit symptoms including fatigue, diarrhea, and increased skin pigmentation. Such health issues are increasing revenue flow in the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market. While ACTH is used to diagnose adrenal insufficiency, the ACTH stimulation test is being preferred for diagnosis. However, taking certain medications including oral, steroid or topical may cause abnormal results. Awareness is being created about the shortcomings of ACTH stimulation tests and management techniques are being implemented to avoid abnormal test results.
In addition to excess of ACTH from the pituitary gland, it can also generate from elsewhere in the body. This medical condition is known as ectopic production of ACTH, which is generated from tumors in different parts of the body.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
Trust-based relationships are gaining prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, which involve reliable community organizations educating patients about precautions to be taken during the ongoing pandemic situation. Conditions such as ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS) and non-neoplastic hypercortisolemia (NNH) tend to exhibit glucocorticoid resistance. Such findings are creating value-grab opportunities for companies in the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market. It has been found that corticotropin as a parenteral solution for injection can lead to possible side effects including back pain, menstrual irregularities, and hyperpigmentation. Hence, stakeholders in the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market should work closely with clinicians and healthcare providers to increase awareness about effective management of side effects to improve patient outcomes.
Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Market: Overview
The global adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market for the historical period of 2017–2019 and forecast period of 2021–2031, multiple clinical applications and rise in prevalence of various chronic diseases are projected to drive the global adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market
According to the report, the global adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market was valued at US$ 1.3 Bn in 2020 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2021 to 2031
Multiple Applications, Rise in Prevalence of Various Chronic Diseases to Drive Global Market
Corticotropin is used to treat conditions such as nephrotic syndrome (NS), rheumatology-related conditions, multiple sclerosis (MS), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and infantile spasms (IS)
H.P. Acthar Gel was Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.’s primary corticotropin product, which was acquired by Mallinckrodt in August 2014. The U.S. FDA approved Acthar for the treatment of 19 indications.
The rate of infantile spasm is estimated to be 2.5 to 6.0 per 10,000 live births. Its prevalence rate is 1.5 to 2.0 per 10,000 children aged 10 years or younger, based on data published in the National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc. Rise in cases of target diseases and application of corticotropin in various indications drive the global adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) market.
Increase in Investment in Research & Development
Demand for development of newer and technologically enhanced products is rising globally, owing to the treatment efficiency of drugs. Hence, major players operating in the market invest in research & development programs in order to develop new drugs.
Current oral glucocorticoid replacement therapy for patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI) does not truly mimic the normal physiologic cortisol rhythm, a nadir at bedtime, and gradually rising levels to the early morning peak between 3 am and 6 am before waking
Continuous subcutaneous hydrocortisone infusion therapy administered via an insulin pump to deliver hydrocortisone is another novel method of treatment of ACTH deficiency
Pexacerfont, a corticotropin-releasing hormone-1 (CRH1) receptor antagonist, is currently under investigation for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. Recent research has linked the activation of CRH1 receptor with euphoric feelings that accompany alcohol consumption. A CRH1 receptor antagonist developed by Pfizer, CP-154,526, is under investigation for the potential treatment of alcoholism.
Rise in investment in research & development by key players is likely to boost the growth of the global market during the forecast period
High Cost of Treatment in U.S. to Restrain Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Market
ACTH is priced higher than other agents, at around US$ 30,000 per vial. H.P. Acthar Gel, which cost around US$ 50 in 2000, was selling for US$ 28,000 for a 5 ml vial in 2012.
In February 2015, Questcor Pharmaceuticals, which acquired the rights to market Synacthen Depot, raised its price from US$ 35.66 to US$ 801.19 per vial. The cost of the required six-week treatment skyrocketed from about US$ 750 to nearly US$ 17,000. Questcor reportedly increased the price of its best-selling drug Acthar Gel by 85,000%, from US$ 50 in 2000 to US$ 34,000 per vial in 2017.
Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and prednisone are both used to treat infantile spasms (IS). However, the cost of ACTH injection is more than 100 times the cost of oral prednisolone.
These diseases are life-threatening and do not have a permanent cure; hence, the cost of lifelong treatment renders it unaffordable, leading to decline in the number of patients preferring to avail the treatment
