Research and Markets: Research Report on China's Hypolipidemic Drug Market, 2012-2013

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9mkpn2/research_report) has announced the addition of the "Research Report on China's Hypolipidemic Drug Market, 2012-2013" report to their offering.

According to surveys, the overall morbidity rate of dyslipidemia groups aged 18 and above is over 20% in China, and total patients are over 200 million nationwide. Blood lipid levels and morbidity rate of dyslipidemia of Chinese people are still lower than that in most developed countries. However, with the development of China's economy, improvement in people's living standards and changes in lifestyle, the morbidity rate of dyslipidemia gradually rises. Meanwhile, diabetes and metabolic syndrome closely related to dyslipidemia are also common in China.

According to market research, the market size of China's hypolipidemic drugs exceeded CNY 12 billion in 2011, with an annual growth rate of over 15 %.

At present, blood lipid controlling drugs in the Chinese market are mainly divided into five categories: statins, fibrates, nicotinic acids, resins and cholesterol absorption inhibitors, also including some other drugs. Statins and fibrates occupy the largest market share in the Chinese market, and applications of other drugs are relatively a few. In terms of the market share of major varieties, the total market share of the top 5 hypolipidemic drug varieties in China was over 80% in 2009. Among them, the top 4 products all were statins (respectively: Atorvastatin, Simvastatin, Pravastatin and Fluvastatin), which occupied nearly 80% of the market share. In 2011, the market share of the top 5 varieties in China's hypolipidemic market was 82.64%. Among them, the top 4 products were still statins (respectively: Atorvastatin, Simvastatin, Pravastatin and Fluvastatin), which accounted for 78% of the share. It is obvious that statin products are main forces in hyperlipidemia treatment drug market of China. Statins are always in leading positions in China's hypolipidemic drug market. Because of excellent effects, little side effects and other multiple effects including lowering overall mortality rate, statin drugs are major drugs in the joint lipid-lowering program, thus occupying a most advantageous position clinically.

The overall performance of China's hypolipidemic drugs in the drug market is better than that of the entire drug and cardiovascular system drug markets, showing a strong growth momentum. The expansion speed of hypolipidemic drug market is evidently higher than that of the cardiovascular drug market, and the proportion in cardiovascular system drugs gradually rises.
