Market Overview:
Central precocious puberty refers to the early onset of sexual maturation before the age of 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys. The condition is caused by early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, resulting in increased production of sex hormones including estrogen and testosterone before the expected age. Drug therapies available for treatment of central precocious puberty include Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs and aromatase inhibitors.

Market Dynamics:
Increasing incidences of precocious puberty globally drive the growth of the central precocious puberty market. Moreover, growing environmental pollution and endocrine disrupting chemicals exposure which alter body's natural hormones contributing to early onset of puberty further fuel the market growth. For instance, according to the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology, the prevalence of precocious puberty is rising by around 3% annually. Rising female population also propel the demand for treatment of central precocious puberty.
