Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a type of sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity. Erectile dysfunction or impotence, can have psychological consequences as it can be tied to relationship difficulties and self-image. ED is more common among the geriatric population, and there has been a rise in the demand for ED drugs among this population which has led to an increase in the erectile dysfunction drug market.

The most prevalent risk factor in men is erectile dysfunction, which becomes more common as men age. Men who are older and more aging often have multiple medical conditions known as comorbidities, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and many more. They also regularly consult a clinician for problems with their sexual function, most commonly erectile dysfunction (ED).

The market for erectile dysfunction (ED) medications is driven by a number of factors, such as the growing geriatric population, the adoption of sedentary lifestyles and the stress they cause, and the co-morbidity of diabetes and heart disease with ED. The risk of erectile dysfunction is significantly increased by drunkenness, smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle.

Also due to increasing population number of cases for erectile dysfunction is increasing. Over the last decade the rate of people with erectile dysfunction has increased due to rising population.

 The Adoption of Sedentary lifestyles

Restrains in the Erectile Dysfunction Drug Market:

Social Stigma Associated with Sexual Health Concerns

• It has been a major restrain since demand of drug depends on the patient and
  the stigma attached to sexual health disorders. Women and men suffer sexual dysfunction in silence, shame, guilt, and ignorance due to the stigma attached to it in many developing countries around the world. Making it more chronic and conditioning it deeper into their minds. They visit quacks and try all kinds of remedies but not science attached to sexual medicine. If only there was adequate sex education in our country a lot many individuals and relationships would be healthier. There is a wide spread of HIV today and our country is amongst the leaders. As a Sexual Medicine specialist, I would like to urge one and all that it's never too late to reach out and get yourself treated at the right hospital with a certified doctor. 

Rise of Prominence and Emergence of Natural Medicine

• Emergence of natural medicines has affected the erectile dysfunction drug market negatively because majority of people have a believe in natural sources for cure of the disease though they have unfixed side effects and lower shelf life. This has lowered the demand parameter of erectile dysfunction drug market.
