Global Hydroxychloroquine Market Size Study & Forecast, by Disease Indication and Distribution Channel, and Regional Forecasts 2025-2035

Global Hydroxychloroquine Market is valued at approximately USD 1.12 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand at a robust CAGR of 4.70% throughout the forecast period from 2025 to 2035. Hydroxychloroquine, a time-tested antimalarial and immunomodulatory drug, has garnered renewed attention in recent years due to its off-label applications, particularly during global health emergencies. This compound plays a critical role in managing chronic autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosus. Additionally, its cost-effectiveness and broad pharmacological profile have fueled its prescription across a diverse set of healthcare systems. The market’s growth is largely underpinned by increasing prevalence of vector-borne diseases and autoimmune conditions, alongside rising awareness and accessibility of disease-modifying treatments in both developing and developed nations.

The resurgence of hydroxychloroquine during the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to a temporary spike in global demand, accelerating its production and distribution infrastructure. While regulatory agencies remain cautious about its antiviral utility, this event showcased hydroxychloroquine’s adaptability in emergency preparedness pipelines. Moreover, persistent cases of malaria in parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America continue to secure a baseline demand. Pharmaceutical players are investing in extended-release formulations and combination therapies to improve patient compliance and broaden the drug’s therapeutic spectrum. However, the market still grapples with regulatory scrutiny surrounding its side effects, as prolonged use may lead to serious ophthalmic and cardiovascular complications—limiting its unrestricted adoption in some regions.

From a regional perspective, North America represents a substantial share in the hydroxychloroquine market, fueled by the high incidence of autoimmune diseases, widespread insurance coverage, and strong R&D backing. Europe follows closely, buoyed by structured clinical guidelines and high treatment adherence rates. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth rate during the forecast period, owing to a high malaria burden and increasing government efforts to enhance healthcare infrastructure in countries like India and Indonesia. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa also contribute significantly due to ongoing malaria control programs and growing awareness of rheumatologic treatments.
