(PharmaNewsWire.Com, May 29, 2019 ) The major factors driving the growth of this market include the growing awareness about vitamin D deficiency among consumers and the presence of a large target patient population worldwide.
By route of administration, the vitamin D therapy market is segmented into oral and parenteral routes of administration. In 2018, the oral route accounted for the largest share of the market. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the ease of administration, better pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic activity, its economy (as compared to parenteral and topical routes), and higher preference for the oral route.
Osteoporosis held the largest share of the applications market in 2018
Based on applications, the vitamin D therapy market is segmented into osteoporosis, rickets, skin diseases, muscle weakness, autoimmune disorders, and other applications. In 2018, the osteoporosis segment accounted for the largest share of the vitamin D therapy market. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the increasing incidence of falls and fractures in senior adults due to the elevated level of parathyroid hormones and the poor absorption of calcium from their diets.
