Armenia, a small country in the South Caucasus region, has been witnessing a steady growth in the demand for anti-hypertensive drugs in recent years.
Customer preferences: Armenians are increasingly becoming health-conscious and are taking preventive measures to avoid chronic diseases such as hypertension. The aging population and the rise in obesity rates have also contributed to the growing demand for anti-hypertensive drugs in the country. Patients are looking for effective and affordable drugs that can help them manage their blood pressure levels.
Trends in the market: The anti-hypertensive drugs market in Armenia is dominated by branded drugs, but there is a growing trend towards the use of generic drugs. The government has been promoting the use of generic drugs to reduce healthcare costs and increase accessibility to medicines. This has led to the entry of new players in the market, resulting in increased competition and lower prices. Additionally, there has been a shift towards combination therapies that offer multiple benefits in a single pill, improving patient compliance and convenience.
Local special circumstances: Armenia has a universal healthcare system that provides free medical care to all citizens. However, the system is underfunded and lacks resources, leading to long waiting times and limited access to medicines. Private healthcare providers are emerging as an alternative option, especially for those who can afford to pay for better quality care. This has created a dual market for anti-hypertensive drugs, with both public and private sectors co-existing.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Armenia’s economy is heavily dependent on remittances from Armenian diaspora, which account for a significant portion of the country’s GDP. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the flow of remittances, leading to a decline in disposable income and purchasing power. This has affected the affordability of medicines, including anti-hypertensive drugs. However, the government has implemented measures to support the healthcare sector and ensure the availability of essential medicines, including anti-hypertensive drugs. The long-term impact of the pandemic on the economy and healthcare sector remains to be seen.
