Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a pivotal role in maintaining the optimum level of calcium, phosphate, and calcitriol (active Vitamin D) in the blood and bones. Hypoparathyroidism is an uncommon endocrine disorder that develops due to low production or absence of parathyroid hormone.
Globally, hypoparathyroidism affects approximately 200, 000 people, out of which most cases are associated with accidental damage or removal of the parathyroid gland during thyroid surgery. Other cases are associated with autoimmune, hereditary, and idiopathic issues. The current standard treatment involves the use of calcium and vitamin D analogues (Vitamin D2 & Vitamin D3).
On the other hand, hormonal therapy is also gaining attention, where the primary treatment has found success in cases of severe hypoparathyroidism. The side effects include potential risks associated with developing osteosarcoma has limited adoption rates. Manufacturers in the market are focusing on investing significantly in the development of safe, and effective hormonal therapies in long-term strategies.

Between 2018 and 2022, the demand for calcium supplements for treating hypoparathyroidism dominated the global market mainly owing to cost and efficacy benefits over hormonal therapies and other drugs. Subsequently, rising research and development activities supported market growth.
NATPARA (Takeda), and Rocaltrol (Roche) are some of the commonly prescribed drugs to treat moderate to severe hypoparathyroidism. Issues of product recall and the resultant mismanagement of treatments have led to hospitalizations in severe cases. Manufacturers such as Ascendis Pharma A/S, EnteraBio Ltd, ProLynx, Inc., and Extend Biosciences, Inc. have hormonal therapies in the pipeline which have delivered superior patient outcomes.
The market is expected to witness an increase in patient screening for several thyroid conditions owing to growing patient awareness. The approval and designation of hypothyroidism drugs as orphan products by the United States FDA and the European Commission (EC), coupled with the untapped patient population is expected to have a positive impetus on market growth.
The emergence of personalized medicines, the rapid rise in demand for biologics for hypothyroidism, and consolidation activities by market players will create significant opportunities for the expansion of the hypothyroidism treatment market size over the forecast period, which is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.7% through 2033.
Government Initiatives to Propel Market Growth
Government support in terms of receiving an orphan drug designation from regulatory bodies such as the United States FDA and European Commission (EC) and financial and tax incentive factors are expected to result in a high return on investment for companies developing novel drugs for treating hypoparathyroidism.
The United States FDA’s orphan drug status is given to biologics affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States alone with the benefits of various incentives including tax incentives for qualified clinical trials and market exclusiveness on receiving regulatory approval.
For hypoparathyroidism, NATPARA is the only drug issued with a black box warning, which was notified by United States FDA, in January 2015, and currently has exclusivity until 2022. Also, the treatment is covered by several insurance companies and co-pay policies. Such initiatives are expected to boost the production of novel drugs, which is expected to positively influence the growth of the market shortly.
Side Effects Owing to the Usage of NATPARA to Restrict the Market Expansion
Currently, NATPARA is the only available drug to treat hypoparathyroidism. Because of its side effects including a potential risk of osteosarcoma, high blood calcium levels, and reduced sense of touch or pain sensation in joints, which could result in hospitalization. The drug is only made available through NAPTARA Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Programs.
Hence, in most of the cases, oral medications are considered as standard treatment for hypoparathyroidism. This limits the adoption of available hormonal therapy. Further, long-term beneficial drug usage symptoms have still not been demonstrated across clinical trials, which might limit the adoption of therapy in patients given the high price of the injection. Drug literature review 2018 states that therapy with rhPTH (1-84) is a long-term management option, where more long-term efficacy and safety data are needed in humans. EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended conditional approval for NATPARA instead of these side effects. Thus, labeling restrictions are expected to hold back the penetration of NATPARA in the major global markets, thereby hampering the overall growth of the market.
The Development of Biologics is Anticipated to Drive Market Growth
The hypoparathyroidism treatment market is shifting towards the demand for biologics over conventional drug alternatives. The efficacy of biologics and their ability to mimic natural body hormones is greater as compared to small molecule options in conventional therapy. This benefit is an essential influencing factor driving the demand for biologics.
Bologics promote the conversion of vitamin D into active forms, which increases the absorption of oral calcium supplements, resulting in synergies with conventional calcium in supplement therapy. Considering the aforementioned factors, the emergence of biologics is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the growth of the hypothyroidism treatment market.

United States to Take Over the North American Market
NATPARA (parathyroid hormone), is a recombinant hormonal therapy approved in the United States for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism. It is prescribed to patients who do not show positive results from standard therapies including calcium supplements and vitamin D.
In September 2019, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited announced the recall for all its doses of NATPARA injections in the United States This recall was attributed to the presence of small rubber particles in solution samples, which originated from the rubber septum of the NATPARA cartridge.
This recall of injectable PTH in the United States has created distress among the patients and had a significant impact on treatment cycles. Around 2,700 patients have been affected by the shortage. Patients who are currently being treated with the therapy, have been pushed back to oral medications including calcium supplements and activated vitamin D to control their symptoms.
This transition has created a negative impact on disease management, leading some patients to hospitalization because of severe hypocalcemia. Further, manufacturers anticipate that the PTH injectable will require another year to return to the market. United State has emerged as a leading market, held over 37.7% of the total demand registered in 2022.
