The prevalence of diabetes in Mauritius is one of the highest in the world, with more than 20% of the population being affected by the disease. As a result, the demand for anti-diabetes drugs in the country has been on the rise in recent years.
Customer preferences: The majority of the anti-diabetes drugs in Mauritius are prescribed by doctors and are only available with a prescription. However, there is a growing trend towards the use of alternative therapies such as herbal remedies and traditional medicines.
Trends in the market: The market for anti-diabetes drugs in Mauritius has been growing steadily in recent years, driven by the high prevalence of diabetes in the country. In addition, the government has taken several measures to improve access to healthcare and to promote the use of generic drugs, which has helped to increase the availability of anti-diabetes drugs in the country.
Local special circumstances: One of the unique challenges facing the anti-diabetes drugs market in Mauritius is the high prevalence of obesity in the country. Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes, and as such, there is a growing need for drugs that can help to manage both conditions.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Mauritian economy has been growing steadily in recent years, driven by the country's strong tourism industry and its growing reputation as a hub for financial services. This has helped to increase the purchasing power of consumers in the country, which has in turn led to an increase in demand for healthcare services and products, including anti-diabetes drugs. Additionally, the government has been investing heavily in healthcare infrastructure and services, which has helped to improve access to healthcare and to increase the availability of anti-diabetes drugs in the country.
