Hypolipidemic drugs are substances used to reduce the concentration of lipids and lipoproteins (lipid-protein complexes) in the bloodstream. Lipoproteins have the potential to accumulate in blood vessels and bind cholesterol. These drugs are also known as lipid-lowering medications.
The primary product categories of hypolipidemic drugs include cholic acid regulators, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, adenylate cyclase inhibitors, nicotinic acid drugs, and various other types. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, in particular, are lipid-lowering medications widely employed for both primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease. These drugs are used and distributed through hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and cardiology centers. Various drug types within this category include statins, bile acid sequestrants, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, PCSK9 inhibitors, and other formulations.
The hypolipidemic drugs market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides hypolipidemic drugs market statistics, including hypolipidemic drugs industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a hypolipidemic drugs market share, detailed hypolipidemic drugs market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the hypolipidemic drugs industry. This hypolipidemic drugs market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The hypolipidemics market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $29.95 billion in 2024 to $31.26 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of hyperlipidemia, lifestyle changes, aging population, awareness and screening, statin dominance.
The hypolipidemics market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $35.53 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to personalized medicine, expanding patient pool, emerging markets, government initiatives, combination therapies. Major trends in the forecast period include shift from ldl to non-hdl cholesterol management, digital health and telemedicine, market consolidation and competition, patient-centric approaches.
Changes in dietary habits and lifestyle choices have been significant drivers in the growth of the hypolipidemic drugs market. Unhealthy food consumption, increased smoking, and alcohol intake have resulted in higher cholesterol levels in individuals. For example, in July 2023, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, reported that according to responses from a new measure collected between May and June 2023, over 86% of adults in Great Britain indicated that they had made at least some changes to their lifestyle in response to environmental concerns. The escalating levels of cholesterol due to lifestyle changes have led to an increased demand for hypolipidemic drugs as they aid in reducing cholesterol levels.
Rising occurrences of obesity are anticipated to propel the hypolipidemic drugs market's growth trajectory. Obesity, defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, often results from taste modulators altering physiological responses to food, contributing to excessive weight gain. Hypolipidemic drugs play a role in addressing obesity by lowering heightened cholesterol levels, which can pose cardiovascular risks to individuals with excess body fat. For example, in March 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO), a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, reported that 650 million adults, 340 million teenagers, and 39 million children are currently obese. This number continues to rise, with the WHO predicting that by 2025, approximately 167 million adults and children will become overweight or obese. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of obesity is a driving force behind the hypolipidemic drug market.
Companies within this market sector are increasingly focusing on leveraging wearable data in clinical trials to enhance the speed, efficiency, and overall cost reduction of these trials. The continuous data collection from patients through wearable technologies can reduce the need for frequent site visits, leading to improved patient retention rates and overall efficiency in clinical trials. Wearables assist in addressing patient recruitment challenges, enabling real-time monitoring and data accuracy, thereby facilitating earlier decision-making during clinical trials. Pharmaceutical giants like Sanofi and Pfizer have already invested in wearable technology for treating hypolipidemia.
The approval process for hypolipidemic drugs by EU agencies generally takes 6 to 12 months and demands a single submission of the complete registration dossier, unlike the phased submissions accepted by the US FDA. While the FDA evaluates each technical section within six months, the process may be extended if queries or issues arise. However, simultaneous assessments of the technical sections require manufacturers to plan and identify time-consuming steps to estimate approval dates effectively. In the EU region, the licensing validity and application renewals add significant regulatory complexity, compelling manufacturers to communicate and plan effectively to minimize costs and reduce timelines.
Key companies in the hypolipidemic drugs market are directing their efforts towards introducing lipid-lowering medications like Brillo to gain a competitive advantage. Brillo is an oral lipid-lowering drug featuring bempedoic acid, a first-in-class compound designed to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, a primary risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In May 2022, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, an India-based pharmaceutical company, unveiled Brillo in India. This medication utilizes bempedoic acid, offering a unique mode of action distinct from existing lipid-lowering agents. Brillo is prescribed for individuals with genetically high cholesterol or confirmed heart disease, especially when cholesterol levels remain high despite lifestyle modifications and the highest acceptable statin doses.
