Somatostatin can slow down hormone production, including many of the gut hormones, slows down the emptying of the stomach and bowel, controls the release of hormones made by the pancreas, including insulin and, slows down or stops the release of growth hormones

Rising prevalence of acromegaly, Cushing syndrome, Neuroendocrine Tumours (NETs), and other related diseases is the key factor projected to drive growth of the global somatostatin analogs market over the forecast period. According to statistics published by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, estimated number of people getting affected with Cushing’s syndrome every year is 10-15 per million. Moreover, the syndrome is more prevalent among adults aged 20-50 years and comparatively more prevalent in females.

Other factors expected to drive growth of the global somatostatin analogues market are launch of novel drug therapies and increasing R&D initiatives. Another factor contributing to growth of the global market is presence of different favourable insurance policies and schemes by governments for patients with rare diseases. In Europe and the US, various government healthcare organizations such as the National Centre for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) offer subsidized medicines for patients with rare diseases. However, huge investment required to develop somatostatin products, high costs of treatment, and strict reimbursement policies is expected to restrain growth of the global market. Favourable initiatives from governments are projected to create growth opportunities for key players in the global market over the forecast period.
