UAE Pharmaceutical Market Trends:
Rising Health Awareness Initiatives
Pfizer launched a thorough education effort in the United Arab Emirates on 1 May 2024 to generate awareness about respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and preventative actions that can be performed. Pfizer organized an educational media roundtable with the assistance of medical experts aimed to highlight the importance of RSV prevention as well as the disease's impact and symptoms. The company is trying to find and create medications that could protect people from specific illnesses. Health awareness initiatives like these are catalyzing the demand for pharmaceutical drugs in the UAE. These initiatives, driven by both government and private sector efforts, aim to educate the population about health issues, promote preventive care, and encourage healthy lifestyles. Furthermore, regular health screenings and preventive programs are promoted to detect diseases early and manage them effectively. Campaigns to increase vaccination coverage for various diseases contribute to better public health and increased pharmaceutical demand.
Increasing Geriatric Population
The older population is more likely to suffer from chronic illnesses, including diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular problems, which is driving the demand for medicines and favorably impacting the industry. Chronic illnesses that necessitate continuous medical attention and pharmaceutical administration are increasingly common in the aged population. The elderly population tends to use healthcare services more frequently including hospital visits, regular check-ups, and specialist consultations. This increased utilization leads to higher prescription rates and medication adherence, thereby increasing pharmaceutical sales. Besides this, the wide availability of advanced medical treatments and technologies tailored for the elderly population catalyze the demand for pharmaceuticals. Major players in the market are focusing on providing more advanced drugs that are specially developed to cater to the needs of elderly individuals. The United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) reports that the number of persons aged 60+ is anticipated to increase more than six-fold between 2020 to 2050 from around 311,000 to 2 Million.
