The menopausal hot flashes market has been segmented on the basis of product, and geography. The product segment has been further segmented into hormonal (estrogen, progestin and combination) and non-hormonal products. Estrogen accounted for the largest share of the global menopausal hot flashes market in terms of revenue as well as prescription volume.

Several market-leading therapies, including Vivelle-Dot (estrogen) by Novartis and Premarin (conjugated estrogens) by Pfizer have lost patent and few more drugs would go off-patent in the next few years. Furthermore, a number of vaginal patches, oral estrogens, and vaginal creams would lose exclusivity, leading to abundance of cheaper generic options in the market. However, with the elevated risk of cancer (womb) in certain group of population is the major restrain for this therapy, especially in the developed world. Moreover, the non-hormonal segment is likely to expand at the highest rate from 2015 to 2023, owing to it being considered as a best option to avoid the increased risk of cancer in certain high risk populations. Non-hormonal therapy includes antidepressants and other prescription drugs that offer relief for some women. Brisdelle is the only non-hormonal medication approved by the FDA for treating hot flashes. Nonetheless, it is expensive as compared to generic formulations, rendering it a limiting factor for its future market penetration.
