The rising number diabetes cases and a growing elderly population, who are more sensitive to cardiovascular ailments, will impact the market trends. It is projected that by 2060, more than 1.2 billion Asians will be 65 or older in age. This will lead to age-related chronic diseases and weak immunity among this population.
As China and India are claimed to be among the nations with the most diabetic people, the countries are expected to highly contribute to the industry. By 2025, there will likely be 70 million people in India who have diabetes, and there will likely be 80 million by the end of 2030. Additionally, diabetes is now one of the region’s main contributors towards both cardiovascular disease and blindness.
The reagents segment is expected to reach USD 620 million by 2028, due to rise in number of blood-related diseases in the region. There is increased use of reagents in healthcare facilities, including hospitals and clinics, for more frequent blood testing.
The hospitals segment is expected to show tremendous growth during the forecast timeline, owing to the increased utilization of immunohematology products such as analyzers and reagents for blood testing. Hospitals can offer better services and many medical professionals to provide patient care. Also, the growing prevalence of blood disorders coupled with the rising diabetes population in emerging economies will further influence the consumer preference for treatment at hospitals.
