The demand for Lipid-Lowering Agents in Mexico has been on the rise in recent years, driven by factors such as an aging population, sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy dietary habits.

Customer preferences: Mexican consumers are increasingly aware of the health risks associated with high cholesterol levels and are turning to Lipid-Lowering Agents as a preventative measure. This trend is particularly evident among the middle-aged and elderly population, who are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases.

Trends in the market: The Lipid-Lowering Agents market in Mexico is dominated by statins, which account for the majority of sales. However, there is a growing demand for alternative treatments such as PCSK9 inhibitors and ezetimibe. This trend is driven by the increasing prevalence of statin intolerance among patients, as well as the high cost of these drugs.

Local special circumstances: The Mexican government has implemented a number of initiatives to promote healthy lifestyles and combat obesity, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. These include public education campaigns, taxes on sugary drinks, and regulations on food labeling. These efforts are likely to increase demand for Lipid-Lowering Agents in the long term, as consumers become more health-conscious.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Mexico's healthcare system is undergoing significant reforms, with a focus on increasing access to healthcare services and improving the quality of care. This is likely to boost demand for Lipid-Lowering Agents as more patients are diagnosed and treated for cardiovascular disease. Additionally, Mexico's aging population is expected to drive demand for these drugs in the coming years, as the risk of cardiovascular disease increases with age.
