Growing Opportunities in Developing Nations Boost Asia Pacific Infectious Disease Therapeutics Market
The growing incidence of infectious diseases is anticipated to increase the sales of infectious disease therapeutics drugs in developing countries. Asia Pacific has become an adaptable and business-friendly hub due to moderately fewer data requirements and stringent regulations. In addition, high investments in health research and life science in emerging countries play a key role in promoting the latest technologies in developing countries, which, in turn, supports the inclination toward infectious disease diagnosis and treatment. For instance, UNAIDS is calling for an investment of US$ 29 billion by 2025 to meet the needs of low- and middle-income countries in the AIDS response.Thus, crucial infectious disease therapeutics product manufacturers in emerging infectious disease therapeutics markets in India and South Korea, are expected to witness lucrative opportunities in the future. This is owing to the high prevalence of infectious diseases such as Hepatitis, HAI, HIV, and influenza; a large population of patients; a rise in disposable income of the population; improving infrastructure of healthcare; and growing medical tourism in these countries.
