The calcium channel blocker market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size for calcium channel blocker has experienced robust growth. This market is forecasted to expand from $15.56 billion in 2024 to $16.62 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The surge in growth during the historic period can be accredited to factors like a rise in cardiovascular diseases, older population, advancements in medical studies, lifestyle changes, and elevated consciousness.
The Calcium Channel Blocker market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Expectations are pointed towards substantial growth in the calcium channel blocker market in the upcoming years. The market is projected to expand to $22.07 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%.
The growth anticipated in this period is due to the escalating global impact of cardiovascular diseases, the trend towards personalized medicine, better healthcare accessibility, broadened applications, official regulatory approvals, and market expansion. The forecast period is likely to see trends such as market growth, developments in technology, a changing regulatory environment, competitive analysis, evolving patient preferences, and increased awareness.
The escalating rate of occurrences of cardiovascular diseases is projected to spur the calcium channel blocker market's expansion. Cardiovascular disease is a term referring to conditions impacting the heart or blood vessels. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are employed to decrease the chances of heart failure and stroke. Therefore, a growth in the rate of cardiovascular diseases will lead to increased demand for calcium channel blockers. For example, in August 2022, a US-based non-profit medical organization, the American College of Cardiology, published a report indicating that all four cardiovascular risk factors will see an increase from 2025 to 2060 in the United States. The highest proportional upward swing can be noticed in diabetes at 39.3%, equivalent to 55 million people, followed by dyslipidemia (27.6% representing 126 million), hypertension (25.1% representing 162 million) and obesity (18.3% representing 126 million). The report also highlighted that the most significant anticipated surges in cardiovascular disease rates were in stroke (33.8% equal to 15 million), heart failure (33.4% reaching 13 million), ischemic heart disease (30.7% equal to 29 million), and heart attack (16.9% to 16 million). Hence, the escalating rate of occurrences of cardiovascular diseases is a key driving factor for the expansion of the calcium channel blocker market.
