Therapeutics Insights

The analgesics segment dominated the geriatric medicines market in 2022. The demand for analgesics is growing due to the surge in number of pain related disorders among old people. The bones of geriatric people are quite weak as compared to young population. The other factors driving the growth of analgesics segment is the growing drugs and medicines sales through over the counter (OTC) platforms and sales of prescription drugs.

The antidiabetic segment is expected to witness strong growth during forecast period. Diabetes affects a large percentage of the elderly. Around 20% of the population is affected by this disease by the age of 75. Diabetes in senior persons has a different metabolic profile than diabetes in younger patients, necessitating a different strategy to treatment. Due to all these factors, the antidiabetic segment is expanding at a rapid pace.

Condition Insights

The cardiovascular segment dominated the geriatric medicines market in 2022. Cardiovascular disorders are more common in the elderly and those over the age of 65. In geriatric population, age is an individual cause of cardiovascular diseases, although other variables such as obesity and diabetes augment these risks. These factors have been shown to adversely affect and worsen cardiac risk factors linked to old age.

Geriatric Medicines Market Share, By Condition, 2022 (%)

The cancer segment is projected to hit remarkable growth from 2023 to 2032. Cancer risk rises rapidly with the age, without a fact. People aged 65 and up account for almost 60% of all cancer cases. In addition, this stage accounts roughly 70% of cancer related mortality. As a result, cancer is an old age disorder. Given the rise in cancer incidence and standard of living among the senior population, a unique approach to the treatment and longevity of geriatric cancer patients is required.
