The demand for Lipid-Lowering Agents in the GCC region has been steadily increasing over the years.
Customer preferences: The GCC region has a high prevalence of obesity and lifestyle diseases, leading to a rise in the number of patients with high cholesterol levels. This has resulted in an increased demand for Lipid-Lowering Agents, as patients are becoming more aware of the benefits of managing their lipid levels.
Trends in the market: The market for Lipid-Lowering Agents in the GCC region is dominated by statins, with atorvastatin being the most commonly prescribed drug. However, there has been a recent trend towards prescribing newer drugs such as PCSK9 inhibitors and ezetimibe, which have shown to be more effective in managing lipid levels in certain patient populations. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years as more clinical data becomes available.
Local special circumstances: One of the unique challenges in the GCC region is the high prevalence of consanguineous marriages, which can lead to a higher incidence of genetic lipid disorders such as familial hypercholesterolemia. This has resulted in a higher demand for Lipid-Lowering Agents in certain patient populations, and healthcare providers are increasingly screening patients for genetic lipid disorders.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The GCC region has a high per capita income, which has led to an increase in healthcare spending. This, coupled with a growing population and a rise in lifestyle diseases, has resulted in a growing demand for Lipid-Lowering Agents. Additionally, the region has a well-established healthcare infrastructure, with a high number of hospitals and clinics offering lipid management services.
