The launch of topical gel formulations at the turn of the century has been a significant milestone in the evolution of the TRT market. The market since then has witnessed the development of several gel based products with varying efficacy levels. High prevalence of low testosterone among men and low penetration levels of TRT together, offer tremendous potential for growth. Rising awareness, wider product and treatment choices, and aggressive Direct-To-Customer advertising by manufacturers, represent other factors driving growth in the market.
