Market definitionIn-Scope/Out-of-scopeMarket structureReportsMethodology

The Anti-Hypertensive Drugs market in Taiwan has been experiencing steady growth in recent years.

Customer preferences: Taiwan has a rapidly aging population, and hypertension is a common health issue among the elderly. As a result, there is a high demand for anti-hypertensive drugs in the country. Patients in Taiwan typically prefer drugs that are effective and affordable, and with few side effects.

Trends in the market: One notable trend in the Anti-Hypertensive Drugs market in Taiwan is the increasing use of combination therapy. Physicians are prescribing two or more drugs to patients to achieve better blood pressure control. Another trend is the growing popularity of generic drugs. With the government's encouragement and the public's acceptance of generic drugs, the market share of generic anti-hypertensive drugs has been rising steadily.

Local special circumstances: Taiwan has a National Health Insurance (NHI) system that covers more than 99% of the population. The NHI system has a positive impact on the Anti-Hypertensive Drugs market in Taiwan, as it ensures that patients have access to affordable medication. However, the NHI system also puts pressure on drug prices, as the government negotiates with drug manufacturers to keep prices low.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Taiwanese government has been implementing policies to promote the development of the biotechnology industry, including the pharmaceutical sector. This has led to increased investment in research and development, which has resulted in the introduction of new drugs in the market. Additionally, the aging population in Taiwan is expected to continue to drive demand for anti-hypertensive drugs in the foreseeable future.
