Market Trends of Global Angina Pectoris Drugs Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Angina Pectoris Drugs Market according to our research experts:
Beta Blockers is Expected to Exhibit a Significant CAGR Over the Forecast Period
Beta-blockers work by blocking the effect of adrenaline on the heart by providing benefits such as slowing the heart rate and reducing the force of heart muscle contraction. In patients with stable angina caused by CAD, beta-blockers are considered first-line therapy. The segment's growth is majorly attributed to an upsurge in the target population and a rising number of strategic developments among the market players for increasing the commercial availability of beta-blocker drugs. For instance, in April 2022, New American Therapeutics granted Melinta Therapeutics the rights to TOPROL-XL (metoprolol succinate) in the United States. TOPROL-XL is a cardio-selective beta-blocker that has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of hypertension, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensives, as well as the long-term treatment of angina pectoris and the treatment of stable, symptomatic heart failure of specific causes. Such developments will bolster the segment's growth in the near future.
Likewise, a research article titled "Pharmacologic Management of Coronary Artery Ectasia" published in Cureus, in September 2021, stated that Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a rare type of aneurysmal coronary heart disease that affects only a few individuals. Angina pectoris and acute coronary syndrome are more likely the results of this disorder. The study further stated that patients exhibiting symptoms of angina can be treated with beta-blockers and trimetazidine. Such studies facilitate the use of beta-blockers for treating patients with coronary heart diseases, which, in turn, drives the segment's growth. Hence, the growing number of patients with cardiac disorders, coupled with the increasing commercial availability of beta-blockers and a surge in the use of beta-blocker drugs in treating coronary heart diseases, is likely to boost the segment's growth throughout the forecast period.
North America Region is Expected to Hold a Largest Market Share of Angina Pectoris Drugs Market
North America dominates the angina pectoris drugs market due to the established healthcare infrastructure, increased adoption of therapeutics, and the presence of key manufacturers in the United States, which is responsible for its large share. Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of death and disability within the North American region, while angina represents its most common symptom. For instance, as per the data published by the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention, in February 2022, the most frequent type of heart disease, ischemic heart disease, claimed 360,900 individual lives in 2019. Coronary artery disease affects approximately 18.2 million persons aged 20 and older. Adults under the age of 65 account for about 2 out of every 10 deaths due to coronary artery disease.
Similarly, an article titled "Ischemic Heart Disease: Noninvasive Imaging Techniques and Findings" published in RSNA (RadioGraphics), in May 2021, stated that in the United States alone, the annual incidence of new coronary events is around 720,000 instances, and the current prevalence of ischemic heart disease is around 18.2 million cases. Thus, such a higher prevalence of heart diseases is likely to increase the incidence of angina pectoris, thereby driving the demand for angina pectoris drugs within the region. Moreover, the surge in the number of clinical trials is also fueling the market's growth. For instance, as of April 2022, there were 23 active and recruiting clinical trials for angina pectoris within the United States. Therefore, these factors together contribute to the growth of the angina pectoris drug market throughout the analysis period.
