Governments’ Push for Quality Geriatric Care Bodes Well for Market

The global geriatric medicines market is primarily driven the general rise in the elderly populations in various regions, particularly in developing and developed nations. The growing prevalence of adults aged over 65 years that are affected by a variety of chronic conditions and the rising incidence of diseases such as neurological disorders, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and cardiovascular disorder are the key factors boosting the geriatric medicines market. A large number of aged people reliant on polypharmacy are prone to the side-effects due to the interactions of the different medications. This has propelled the demand for geriatric care, thereby catalyzing the geriatric medicines market.

The increasing prevalence medication-related problems among older adults and the pressing need for palliative care are the seminal factors boosting the geriatric market. Furthermore, in recent years, the concerted efforts by governments in providing quality geriatric care in a number of emerging countries and the significant investments made by them in opening geriatric care units have accentuated the market. The rising prevalence of aged people suffering from different chronic conditions has fueled the demand for analgesics among the elderly population, thereby stimulating the uptake of geriatric medicines. The increasing prevalence of various cardiovascular conditions has triggered the incidence of heart attacks, thereby fueling the demand for geriatric medicines.

However, the lack of awareness about the availability of geriatric care among elderly patients in emerging nations is a crucial factor likely to impede the market to an extent. On the other hand, constant advances in healthcare infrastructure in several nations in developing and developed regions is expected to open up exciting opportunities for market players.
