Analyst Opinion

The Anti-Rheumatic Drugs market in Latvia has been steadily growing over the past few years.

Customer preferences: Latvian customers tend to prefer non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) over disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) as the first line of treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. However, the demand for DMARDs has been increasing due to their effectiveness in preventing joint damage and reducing inflammation.

Trends in the market: The Anti-Rheumatic Drugs market in Latvia has been witnessing a shift towards biologic DMARDs. This is due to their higher efficacy and safety profile compared to traditional DMARDs. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis in the country has been driving the growth of the market. The market is also witnessing the entry of new players, which is intensifying the competition.

Local special circumstances: Latvia has a high prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis, which is one of the primary drivers of the Anti-Rheumatic Drugs market in the country. The government has also been taking steps to improve the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, which is expected to further drive the growth of the market.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Latvian economy has been growing steadily over the past few years, which has led to an increase in healthcare spending. Additionally, the government has been taking steps to improve the healthcare infrastructure in the country, which is expected to further boost the growth of the Anti-Rheumatic Drugs market. However, the market is also facing challenges such as the high cost of biologic DMARDs and the availability of cheaper alternatives such as NSAIDs.
