    Analyst Opinion

    As therapies with lipid-lowering agents are usually of a long-term nature, the growth of this market is rather driven by the prices of these products than by the number of patients. Nevertheless, limited access to healthcare facilities owing to the COVID-19 pandemic has had some negative impact, which is reflected in lower growth rates in 2020. While generics have a considerable share, expiring patents as well as new products strongly influence the dynamics of the market.
