Time to move on folks and stop the obsession with your hair loss.
Asking how much you’d pay for full head of hair is asking what positions you’d try if you had a chance for a 3some with Pamela Anderson and Megan Fox.

haha… yea… discussing the price really is pretty senseless…
but me personally… i’d make Pamela Anderson wait in the corner while i do Megan.

One last thought. The price will be the price and you’ll have no control over that. From what I see, they seem to have done their homework and have put reasonable pricing out there. I don’t expect this was done on the back of a pack of cigarettes. As for Pamela Anderson. I don’t think any of us want HEP C.

LOL!! fckhrls, I think you are one of the few persons here with a bit of common sense.
I agree with you. If they can restore a full head of hair, with no issues at all, for 50k, then I think they would have plenty of demand. The problem is that I doubt they can do that, with no issues, at the beginning.
Oddly enough, the hair loss business isn’t really that big if we do a projection based on the poll results.
It seems that the majority will pay 30K for a cure.
In the US there are about 60 million people with hair loss.
Assuming half the people either don’t care about hair loss or couldn’t come up with the money, we have 30million people paying 30K each,
The total is only $900 million which in my opinion is not really that big compared to most drugs development in major pharma companies.

Don’t forget to move the decimal point when you do calculations with a slide rule. 30 million times 30,000 is 900 billion dollars. Although I doubt 30 million people would have the procedure. Could be wrong though.

You are too optimistic to think that 50% of the people losing their hair will pay $30,000 for the treatment.
Try 10% and a baldness cure will only be worth $180 million, I agree it is not big business.
This ain’t just relevant in the United States. We may be on the cutting edge of the personal appearance obsession right now, but it’ll probably trickle downwards throughout the westernized world soon enough.
And the worldwide “middle class” is on its way to outstripping the USA for sheer net volume of disposable income the future.
And the rules about what is socially acceptable will shift as MPB treatment becomes more common. It’ll take years/decades but I guarantee you it will happen.
50 or 100 years ago it was not such a big deal to have crooked/missing teeth. Now it’s a social handicap, even for men in careers that are totally unrelated to appearance.

Even with your 10% estimate, it is 180 billion dollars, not 180 million dollars. It IS a big business.

yes
30,000,000 x $30,000
= $900,000,000,000 
do they not teach you math in New Jersey?
6Million people @ $30/treatment is $180 BILLION revenue stream…
now consider that this will be recurring revenue as a significant portion of the population has MPB and as people continue to age they will see hair loss…

not my fault, the numbers were provided by Damraak, I should have known not to trust anyone on this board in the first place !
Merk makes about $400 million a year on Propecia alone. Add minoxidil, the transplant industry, the wig market, and the snake-oil salesmen, and its probably at least a $2 billion dollar industry.

. . . and that is while only a single-digit percentage of the total afflicted population is attempting to treat their MPB at all.

Why? Because of the efficacy of the available treatments? I agree. I also think past generations were not as vain as gen X/Y/millenials. When more Gen Y’s and millenials start losing their, the market will expand.

Considering this is US numbers, Imagine all the people around the world that experience this problem. If you captured 5% of that market place it would be unimaginable the revenue from such a solution. Never underestimate vanity. Places such as India and China would just explode the revenue of any company that came up with such a solution.

There is only tiny percentage of men seeking all forms of MPB treatment. And yet if I recall correctly, HT surgery is by far the most common type of cosmetic procedure that men get done. Even while the cost/benefit ratio is really bad.
I think this speaks loud & clear - a lot of men do want this problem fixed, and very badly. They have just never had a realistic option for doing it.
