Lipid-lowering agents are a class of drugs that are used to lower the levels of cholesterol and other lipids in the blood. These agents are widely used in Vietnam and have seen significant growth in recent years.
Customer preferences: Vietnamese consumers are becoming increasingly health-conscious and are taking proactive measures to maintain their health. Lipid-lowering agents are seen as an effective way to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, which are major health concerns in Vietnam. As a result, there has been a growing demand for these drugs in the country.
Trends in the market: The lipid-lowering agents market in Vietnam has seen significant growth in recent years. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including an aging population, increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, and rising disposable incomes. The market is dominated by statins, which are the most commonly prescribed lipid-lowering agents in Vietnam. Other drugs, such as PCSK9 inhibitors, are also gaining popularity in the market.
Local special circumstances: Vietnam has a rapidly aging population, which is driving the demand for lipid-lowering agents. According to the World Bank, the proportion of the population aged 65 or older is expected to increase from 7.1% in 2020 to 18.4% in 2050. This demographic shift is expected to increase the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, which in turn will drive the demand for lipid-lowering agents.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Vietnam's economy has been growing rapidly in recent years, with GDP growth averaging over 6% per year between 2014 and 2019. This growth has led to an increase in disposable incomes and an expanding middle class, which has contributed to the growth of the lipid-lowering agents market. Additionally, the government has been investing heavily in healthcare infrastructure, which has improved access to healthcare services and increased the demand for drugs like lipid-lowering agents.
