Hello again, Crystal!
I've found some figures for you. It is estimated that the worldwide
market for oral drugs for treatment of erectile dysfunction is
approximately $2.5 billion to $3 billion (and rising rapidly). The
market in the United States is estimated at $1 billion to $1.5
billion.
In 2003, the market for non-oral (transurethral and injectable) drugs
for ED was $85 million worldwide and $32 million in the United States.
"With all three drugs [Viagra, Cialis, Levitra] on the market, the
erectile dysfunction class of drugs is expected to approach $ 3.4
billion in sales by next year. Relative to the current top 10
prescription drug classes by dollar, that would make erectile
dysfunction No. 9 on the list, according to data from IMS Health for
the 12 months ended in March."

"The aging of the 'baby boom' generation has brought sexual
dysfunction into prominence as a medical concern. Men and women who
suffer sexual dysfunction are a large and growing market not satisfied
with current treatments. According to the Massachusetts Male Aging
Study, more than 50% of men aged 40-70 report episodes of ED and more
than 30 million men in the US suffer ongoing ED. The current market
size in dollars is estimated to be from $1.5-3.0 billion, with several
products already competing in the male ED market segment."
