Atenolol Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Growing Prevalence of Angina Experiences - Angina is a type of chest pain that occurs by a decrease in blood flow to the heart. It is mainly caused by an accumulation of fatty deposits in the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscles. In such a condition, the heart beats faster and a person feels a sharp pain and pressure in his/her chest. It is an early sign of heart disorders. Atenolol belongs to a class of drugs referred to as beta blockers. Beta-blockers decrease the oxygen demand of the heart and lower the occurrence of angina attacks by reducing heart rate. Hence, the increasing prevalence of angina attacks is estimated to expand market growth further over the projected time frame. For instance, in the United States, each year angina affects more than 9 million people.
- Expansion in Sedentary Lifestyle - Physical inactivity can have major adverse health effects. An inactive lifestyle raises the risk of all causes that result in death and doubles the chance of a variety of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, anxiety, and so on. Therefore, an increase in sedentary lifestyles is also projected to drive the growth of the atenolol market in the coming years. As reported by the World Health Organization, 27% of adults and more than 80% of adolescents globally fail to comply with the recommended physical activity ratio.
- Increasing Prevalence of Arrhythmia - Any issue with a person's heartbeat rate or rhythm is referred to as an "arrhythmia." Electrical waves that are too fast, too slow, or chaotic during an arrhythmia can cause an irregular heartbeat. The heart cannot properly pump blood when it is not beating appropriately. The lungs, brain, and all the other organs are unable to function properly and may get damaged. Atenolol helps in this situation by lowering your heart rate, which makes it easier for your heart to circulate blood throughout the organs. Thus, the rising prevalence of arrhythmia is also estimated to boost the market growth of atenolol over the forecast period. As per an estimation, Arrhythmia is anticipated to affect approximately 1.7% to 6% of the overall population in the United States.
- Rise in Poor Dietary Habits - According to a new worldwide study conducted in 2021, approximately 50% of the global population suffers from poor dietary habits, which has negative consequences for people.
- Rising Cases of Cardiovascular Disorders – Based on the World Health Organization figures, cardiovascular diseases are the most prevalent cause of death throughout the world, claiming the lives of an estimated 17.9 million people annually.
Challenges
- Associated Side Effects of Atenolol – Though atenolol helps to tackle several kinds of hypertension issues still numerous side effects are associated with the use of atenolol comprising feeling sleepiness, dizziness, nausea, hypotension, blurred vision, bloody urination, and so on. Hence, this factor is anticipated to dampen the growth of the market in the coming years.
- Availability of Diuretics and Other Drugs
- Risk of Interaction with Other Drugs
