Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) Drugs Market Report 2025

This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The ischemic heart disease (IHD) drugs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.36 billion in 2024 to $6.71 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising global prevalence of ischemic heart disease, increased awareness and diagnostics, changes in lifestyle and dietary patterns, government initiatives for cardiovascular health, collaborations for clinical trials, insurance coverage and reimbursement policies.

The ischemic heart disease (IHD) drugs market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.86 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to aging population trends, personalized medicine approaches, emphasis on cardiovascular prevention, global health policies and initiatives, international research collaborations. Major trends in the forecast period include shift towards precision medicine approaches, focus on novel anti-atherogenic agents, advancements in lipid-lowering therapies, integration of anti-inflammatory agents, development of antithrombotic and antiplatelet drugs.

The increasing rates of obesity and diabetes are anticipated to drive the growth of the ischemic heart disease (IHD) drugs market in the coming years. Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder leading to high blood glucose levels, and obesity, a condition marked by excessive body fat that can harm health, are both key risk factors for cardiovascular issues. IHD drugs are frequently prescribed for individuals with obesity and diabetes to manage cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension and dyslipidemia, thereby reducing the likelihood of ischemic heart disease. For example, the World Obesity Federation, a UK-based organization working to address obesity worldwide, reported in 2022 that by 2030, one billion people globally - including 1 in 5 women and 1 in 7 men - will be living with obesity. Similarly, in June 2024, the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK identified an additional 549,000 people in England at risk of type 2 diabetes, bringing the total number of individuals with non-diabetic hyperglycemia, or pre-diabetes, registered with a GP to 3,615,330, up nearly 20% from 3,065,825 in 2022. This rising prevalence of obesity and diabetes is thus driving growth in the IHD drugs market.

The increasing incidence of heart failure is another factor expected to contribute to the growth of the ischemic heart disease (IHD) drug market. Heart failure, a chronic condition where the heart muscle cannot pump enough blood, often leads to symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath. Ischemic heart disease drugs play a crucial role in treating heart failure by reducing risk factors and symptoms associated with IHD. These medications can be particularly beneficial for heart failure patients with reduced ejection fractions and high resting heart rates. For instance, data from the Heart Failure Society of America in September 2023 indicates that 6.7 million Americans over 20 years of age have heart failure, and this prevalence is expected to increase to 8.5 million Americans by 2030. The rising incidence of heart failure is a key driver for the growth of the ischemic heart disease (IHD) drug market.

Leading companies in the ischemic heart disease (IHD) drugs market are increasingly focusing on developing innovative myosin inhibitors to strengthen their competitive position. Cardiac myosin inhibitors work by reducing myosin activity in the heart muscle, thereby lowering contraction force. This approach is particularly useful for treating conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), where excessive muscle thickening hinders heart function. For example, in April 2022, Bristol Myers Squibb, a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company, introduced Camzyos (mavacamten), the first cardiac myosin inhibitor approved to treat adults with symptomatic New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-III obstructive HCM, aiming to enhance functional capacity and relieve symptoms. Camzyos acts as a selective, allosteric, and reversible inhibitor of cardiac myosin, reducing hypercontractility, left ventricular hypertrophy, and cardiac filling pressures, which helps alleviate dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction.

In March 2024, Denmark-based pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk acquired Cardior Pharmaceuticals for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition marks a key step in Novo Nordisk's strategy to build and expand its portfolio in cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of death globally. Cardior Pharmaceuticals, based in Germany, specializes in manufacturing cardiovascular drugs for ischemic heart disease (IHD).

The ischemic heart disease (IHD) drugs market consists of sales of antiarrhythmic drugs, anticoagulants, anti-anginal medications, nitroglycerin and nitrates, statins, and antiplatelet agents. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) drugs refer to medications employed in the management and treatment of a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, often due to narrowing of the coronary arteries. These drugs aim to alleviate symptoms, reduce the risk of complications such as heart attacks, and improve overall cardiac function.

The primary drug classes encompassed by ischemic heart disease (IHD) drugs include anti-dyslipidemic drugs, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), vasodilators, and antithrombotic agents. Anti-dyslipidemic drugs are pharmacological agents targeting and reducing abnormal lipid levels (such as cholesterol and triglycerides) in the bloodstream to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular disease. These drugs are utilized in the treatment of various conditions, including angina pectoris and myocardial infarction, and are distributed through various channels such as hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies.
