Market Overview:
Central precocious puberty (CPP) refers to the premature initiation of secondary sexual characteristics in young children before the age of eight for girls and nine for boys. CPP can affect physical and psychological development in children if left untreated. Treatment options for CPP include gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs which help put puberty on hold and allow children time to grow and develop at a normal pace.

Market key trends:
Growing awareness among parents, physicians, and patients about the treatment and management options for CPP is expected to be a key driver for the market growth over the forecast period. Increasing knowledge about the psychological impact of untreated CPP and importance of timely diagnosis and management is encouraging more people to seek medical help. Moreover, growing research activities focused on development of new drugs and formulations are also expected to fuel the market growth between 2028-2030. For instance, in March 2022, Tolmar Pharmaceuticals Inc, announced the FDA approval of its investigational new drug application for TOL-CG14 implant as a potential treatment option for CPP.
