    Analyst Opinion

    New Zealand, known for its beautiful landscapes and outdoor activities, has a growing Lipid-Lowering Agents market.

    Customer preferences:
    The New Zealand population has a high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, which has led to an increase in demand for Lipid-Lowering Agents. Patients are more aware of their health and are increasingly seeking treatment options to manage their cholesterol levels. Additionally, the aging population in New Zealand has also contributed to the growth of the market.

    Trends in the market:
    The Lipid-Lowering Agents market in New Zealand is dominated by statins, which are the most commonly prescribed drugs for managing cholesterol levels. However, there has been a growing trend towards the use of non-statin drugs such as PCSK9 inhibitors and bile acid sequestrants. This trend is driven by patients who are unable to tolerate statins or have not achieved their target cholesterol levels with statin therapy.

    Local special circumstances:
    New Zealand has a unique healthcare system, which is publicly funded and provides universal access to healthcare services. However, the government has been facing challenges in providing timely access to healthcare services due to the growing demand for healthcare services and limited resources. This has led to delays in the approval of new drugs, which has impacted the availability of new Lipid-Lowering Agents in the market.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The New Zealand economy has been growing steadily in recent years, driven by strong domestic demand and a growing tourism industry. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the economy, with the country experiencing a recession for the first time in a decade. The pandemic has also impacted the Lipid-Lowering Agents market, with patients delaying or avoiding visits to healthcare providers due to concerns about exposure to the virus. This has led to a decline in the number of new prescriptions for Lipid-Lowering Agents. However, the market is expected to recover as the country continues to manage the pandemic and patients resume seeking healthcare services.
