Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which the arterial blood pressure is elevated to an undesired level.

At rest blood pressure level is in the range of 120-140 mm Hg systolic and 60-90mm Hg diastolic. Hypertension arises when it is persistently at or above the 140/90mm Hg level. Primary hypertension, a condition with no underlying medical cause is highly prevalent than secondary hypertension which is caused by other conditions such as kidney, heart, endocrine or arterial disorders.

Based on their therapeutic class, the anti-hypertensive drugs market is classified into diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), calcium channel blockers, beta blockers, alpha blockers, vasodilators and renin inhibitors. These drugs find their therapeutic use as single drug administration or in fixed dose combinations. Diuretics are the first line of treatment recommended by the physicians for most patients. However, the drug preference depends on the patient’s medical history and current conditions. For instance, a hypertensive patient with diabetes may be recommended an ACE inhibitor as a first line treatment.

For example, the patent expiration of blockbuster drugs such as Diovan, Revatio, Avapro, Exforge and BIopress has impacted the global anti-hypertensive market with the entry of generics. On the other hand, the demand for fixed dose combinations is certain to rise, backed by the increase in number of patients. Factors such as aging population and lifestyle modifications will lead to an increase in the global incidence rate of hypertension.
