Hyperhidrosis Market Size, Epidemiology, In-Market Drugs Sales, Pipeline Therapies, and Regional Outlook 2025-2035

Market Overview:

The hyperhidrosis market reached a value of USD 443.4 Million across the top 7 markets (US, EU4, UK, and Japan) in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the top 7 major markets to reach USD 683.9 Million by 2035, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.03% during 2025-2035.

The hyperhidrosis market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Hyperhidrosis Market Size, Epidemiology, In-Market Drugs Sales, Pipeline Therapies, and Regional Outlook 2025-2035". Hyperhidrosis is a disorder of abnormally excessive sweating that’s usually not related to exercise or body temperature. It mainly occurs due to the overactivation of cholinergic receptors on eccrine glands. The sweating may impact the entire body or only affect certain regions, such as extremities, underarms, and face. Depending on the causative factor and disease extension, hyperhidrosis is classified as primary focal hyperhidrosis and secondary generalized hyperhidrosis. Primary focal hyperhidrosis refers to excessive sweating which is not caused by another medical condition or any medications, whereas secondary generalized hyperhidrosis occurs due to an underlying medical ailment or as a side effect of certain medications, such as pain relievers, antidepressants, hormonal medications, etc. Hyperhidrosis can result in emotional, social, psychological, and occupational impairment among patients. Individuals suffering from hyperhidrosis may experience itching, inflammation, body odor, paleness, discoloration, cracks or wrinkles in the skin, night sweats, maceration on the soles of the feet, residual marks on clothing from combinations of sweat, bacteria, and chemicals, etc. The diagnosis of this ailment requires a review of the patient’s health history and a thorough evaluation of underlying symptoms. The healthcare provider may also perform a starch-iodine test and a paper test to measure the amount of sweat the body produces.

The increasing cases of hereditary disorders, causing malfunction in the nerve signals that overstimulate sweat glands in the body, are primarily driving the hyperhidrosis market. Apart from this, the rising prevalence of several associated risk factors, such as anxiety, low blood sugar, menopause, obesity, certain drugs like anti-depressants and beta-blockers, etc., is also propelling the market growth. Moreover, the escalating utilization of anticholinergics, including glycopyrrolate, oxybutynin, propantheline, benztropine, etc., which block signals from nerves and reduce sweat production in patients, is creating a positive outlook for the market. In addition to this, the inflating usage of microwave thermolysis therapy to treat advanced disease conditions is also bolstering the market growth. This non-invasive technique delivers precisely controlled microwave energy to destroy the sweat glands and provides a long-term reduction in excessive sweating. Furthermore, numerous key players are making substantial investments in R&D activities to launch novel over-the-counter and economically feasible topical products for treating hyperhidrosis. This, in turn, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the widespread adoption of video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy, which allows shorter operating time, early recovery, and improves patient outcomes, is expected to drive the hyperhidrosis market in the coming years.
