Anti-Hypertensive Drugs Market: 2019 Global Size, Trends, Investments, Share, Leading Players, Merger, Acquisition, Growth Factors, Regional Analysis, And Industry Forecast To 2023

Antihypertensive Drugs Market Research Report: by Therapeutic Class (Calcium Channel Blockers, Beta-adrenergic Blockers, Renin Inhibitors, ACE Inhibitors, Vasodilators, Diuretics, ARBs, Others), by Type (Primary Hypertension, Secondary Hypertension), by Distribution Channel (Retail Pharmacy, Hospital Pharmacy, E-commerce Websites & Online Drug Stores, Others), and Region - Global Forecast till 2023
According to a recent study report published by the Market Research Future, The global market of  Anti-Hypertensive Drugs was valued at $32.2 billion in 2015, and is projected to reach $ USD 41.2 billion by 2023. Thus the anti-hypertensive drugs market is anticipated to observe a sluggish growth; at a CAGR of 2.73% during 2016 to 2022.
Anti-Hypertensive Drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a state of chronic elevated arterial blood pressure at or greater than 140/90 mm Hg for adults. Hypertension is one of the most powerful risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There exact cause of hypertension is unknown but is said that unhealthy, heady lifestyle and ageing mirror such disorders as “Hypertension”.
The major market driving factors for secondary hypertension are greater detection and early diagnosis. Rise in the prevalence diseases such as kidney problems, thyroid problems, adrenal gland tumours, heart ailments, chronic alcohol use etc. in which anti-hypertensive drugs are used; are some of the other factors driving the growth of the Anti-Hypertensive Drugs market. The constraints however are overwhelming and include patent expiries such as Actelion's Tracleer (2015), and United Therapeutic's Remodulin (2014). Other blockbuster’s such as Novartis's Diovan and Exforge, Sanofi Aventis's Avapro (2012) etc are also off-patent.
Many antihypertensive drugs have their primary action on systemic vascular resistance. Some of these drugs produce vasodilation by interfering with sympathetic adrenergic vascular tone (sympatholytics) or by blocking the formation of angiotensin II or its vascular receptors. Other drugs are direct arterial dilators, and some are mixed arterial and venous dilators. Although less commonly used because of a high incidence of side effects, there are drugs that act on regions in the brain that control sympathetic autonomic outflow. By reducing sympathetic efferent activity, centrally acting drugs decrease arterial pressure by decreasing systemic vascular resistance and cardiac output.
Some antihypertensive drugs, most notably beta-blockers, depress heart rate and contractility (this decreases stroke volume) by blocking the influence of sympathetic nerves on the heart. Calcium-channel blockers, especially those that are more cardioselective, also reduce cardiac output by decreasing heart rate and contractility. Some calcium-channel blockers (most notably the dihydropyridines) are more selective for the systemic vasculature and therefore reduce systemic vascular resistance.
Segmentation
The Anti-Hypertensive Market can be segmented in to 4 key dynamics for the convenience of the report and enhanced understanding;
Segmentation By Pharmacological Class            : Comprises Diuretics, ACE Inhibitors, Calcium Channel Blockers, Adrenergic Blocker and other.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Market Rapidly Growing in Healthcare, Competitor Analysis, Complete Study of Current Trends and Forecast 2019-2023

Market Scenario
The Global ALS market valuation is expected to surpass USD 841.6 million by 2023, growing at approximately 7.89 % CAGR over the forecast period (2019-2023). In 2017, the market had a valuation of USD 526 million. Market Research Future presents report by By Type (Familial ALS), by Treatment (Medication, Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy), by Diagnosis (Laboratory Tests, Imaging Tests), End-User (Hospitals, Specialty Centers) and Global forecast till 2023
ALS or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a neurological ailment which affects the nerve cells in the spinal cord and the brain that controls the voluntary muscles’ activities. Some of the common symptoms of ALS include cramps, muscle weakness, respiratory problems, and fasciculation. This is a progressive neurological disease where gradually patients become dependent on physicians and caregivers increasingly. Often ALS results in respiratory failure as the patient loses the ability of controlling the muscles both in the diaphragm and the chest. Ultimately, it turns fatal.
Additional factors such as the inclination towards the sedentary lifestyle are driving the market growth and increasing the risk of developing ALS. Besides, the increasing geriatric population substantiates market growth, creating a demand for symptomatic and targeted treatment options.
But the high cost of the treatment of ALS may hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
Segments                                                                                                                                            
The Global amyotrophic lateral sclerosis market has been segmented on the basis of type, treatment, and end-user.
By type, the market is segmented into sporadic and familial ALS. The sporadic ALS, also abbreviated as SALS, was the largest segment in 2017 and can dominate the market over the forecast period.
By treatment, the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis market has been segmented into medication, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, speech therapy, and others. Out of these, medication had the largest market in 2017.
By end-user, the ALS market has been segmented into hospitals, specialty centers, research & academic institutes, and others. Among these, the subsegment Hospital accounts for the largest segment.
Regional Analysis
By Regions, the global amyotrophic lateral sclerosis market is segmented into the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.
The Americas is estimated to dominate the global ALS market owing to the increasing pool of awareness and the rising prevalence of hypertension. ALS remains a significant public health challenge in the US. Therefore, governments and private non-profit organizations are developing specific guidelines for the management and treatment of ALS. Public and private organizations are involved in strategic partnerships and collaborations in search for a better outcome in the research of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment in the region.
The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis market in the European region stands at the second position in terms of the market size mainly due to the well-established healthcare sector. Several companies and research institutes are also establishing advanced facilities to research ALS.
Moreover, in recent years, there has been an increase in the adoption of sedentary lifestyles among people. Research shows that an increase in physical activities such as exercise helps in reducing the pain and thwarting some of the symptoms such as loss of motion in patients who have ALS.
Thus, the inclination towards the sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of developing ALS among the elderly population, thus creating a demand for symptomatic and targeted treatment options. The development of novel therapeutic approaches and advanced treatment options are likely to push the growth of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis market during the forecast period.
Whereas, the ALS market in the Asia Pacific region is expected to grow rapidly due to the increasing prevalence of the disease and rapidly developing healthcare infrastructure. The increasing economy in the region is playing a vital role in the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increase in the setups of research and development centers also fuels the growth of the ALS market in the region.
