The anti-hypertensive drugs market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of anti-hypertensive drugs has been progressively expanding over recent years. The market which was valued at $36.66 billion in 2024 is projected to reach $37.5 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3%.
The factors contributing to the growth during the historical period can be traced back to environmental and lifestyle factors, past market competition, traditional treatment preferences, economic circumstances, and global health trends of the past.
The anti-hypertensive drugs market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, a slight increase is forecasted in the market size of anti-hypertensive drugs, expanding to a projected size of $40.41 billion in 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.9%.
Factors contributing to the anticipated growth in this period include affordability and cost-effectiveness, progress in therapeutic advancements, changes in disease patterns, regulatory alterations and approvals, shifts in aging population, and modifications in healthcare policies and reimbursement. Key trends to look out for during the forecast period encompass therapeutic advancements, changes in disease prevalence, regulatory environment, healthcare policies, and growth in diagnosis and monitoring techniques.
The surge in the anti-hypertensive drug market is largely driven by a sedentary lifestyle. Factors like consuming unhealthy food, insufficient hints of a well-rounded diet, and irregular sleep patterns due to inconsistent work schedules are all contributing to the rise in hypertension. Hypertension is responsible for a significant number of deaths associated with heart disease (45%) and stroke (51%). Once diagnosed with hypertension, patients need to regularly use medication to manage it, depending on the severity. For example, as per records from the National Health Service, a government department based in England, in May 2023, hypertension's prevalence increases with age, beginning at 9% for adults aged 16-44 and surging to 60% for those aged 65 and above. This trend sets a steady demand for the product, acting as a significant contributor to the anti-hypertensive drug market's expansion.
