The Asia-Pacific cough syrup market is set to project a CAGR of 4.01% during the forecast period, 2023-2032. Numerous nations in Asia-Pacific are experiencing aging populations, leading to an increased vulnerability among the elderly to respiratory diseases. This demographic shift has resulted in a growing demand for specialized cough syrups tailored to meet the specific requirements of this aging demographic.
South Korea, China, Vietnam, Australia & New Zealand, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, India, and Rest of Asia-Pacific are analyzed for the Asia-Pacific cough syrup market growth evaluation. Respiratory illnesses like the common cold, flu, and cough-related conditions are becoming more common in South Korea. Recent health data indicates a rising prevalence of these respiratory disorders, affecting a significant portion of the population annually. Factors such as air pollution, seasonal variations, and lifestyle choices all contribute to the growing incidence of respiratory disorders, leading to an increased need for effective medications like cough syrups.
South Korea is currently undergoing a demographic transformation due to its aging population. A substantial portion of the population is aged 65 and above, and this demographic segment is expanding rapidly. Given that the elderly are more susceptible to respiratory infections, this demographic shift is driving up the demand for cough syrups, as this age group seeks reliable remedies for the common symptoms of coughs and colds.
Further, the increase in fatalities associated with cough syrup usage, along with the subsequent removal of five cough and fever syrup brands by the Indonesian Food and Drug Monitoring Agency in 2021, is expected to exert a substantial influence on Indonesia's cough syrup market.
Some of the key companies in the market are: Novartis AG, Merck KGaA, Pfizer Inc, etc.
