How is Growing Incidence of Skin Diseases Driving North American Aromatherapy Market?

In 2020, Brazil registered 592,212 cancer cases and 259,949 deaths, as per the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Moreover, as per the World Health Organization (WHO), Latin America (LATAM) had recorded 1.3 million new cancer cases in 2018, which, according to the IARC, surged to 1.4 million in 2020. Similarly, the cases of heart diseases are also rising in the region on account of an unhealthy lifestyle, exposure to pollution, stress, and several genetic factors.

North America Aromatherapy Market - Global Opportunity & Industry Forecast Report

As per P&S Intelligence, due to the surging prevalence of such chronic conditions, the LATAM wound dressing market size will grow from $344.3 million in 2020 to $549.5 million in 2030, at a 5.0% CAGR between 2021 and 2030. This is because often, these chronic diseases result in long-lasting wounds, which are slow and hard to heal. Moreover, the surgeries done to treat these conditions also lead to wounds, which require an array of dressings for their management.

Another chronic disease responsible for the increasing number of people suffering from such wounds in the region is diabetes. This fairly common disease has pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and foot ulcers as its complications, which are all long-lasting wounds. Therefore, with the WHO predicting the diabetes incidence in LATAM to increase to 40 million by 2030 from 25 million in 2011, the cases of all such wounds will continue to rise. As a result, the demand for advanced and traditional wound dressing products will keep increasing in the region.

Due to these reasons, the hospitals & specialty clinics, long-term-care settings, and home healthcare settings in the region are witnessing a rising footfall. Among these, hospitals and specialty clinics account for the highest usage of wound dressing products because these places are generally the first choice of patients, as they have advanced medical equipment and employ staff with years of experience. Apart from merely diseases, complex wounds are also a result of accidents, burns, and other forms of physical trauma, which hospitals and specialty clinics are the best equipped to deal with.

Presently, Brazil is the largest country in the LATAM wound dressing market, and it will continue to generate the highest demand for such products in the years to come. This is because it is the most-populated country and also the one with the most-advanced healthcare infrastructure in the region. Moreover, several private and public organizations are taking initiatives to raise awareness on wound care in the country. Additionally, the increasing number of people suffering from chronic diseases is leading to a rise in the incidence of chronic wounds and, in turn, the usage of wound dressings here.

Therefore, with the growing prevalence of chronic wounds, the demand for wound dressing products will continue to escalate in the LATAM region.

Prefilled Syringes Market and its Growth Landscape in the Foreseeable Future

Prefilled syringes have become an efficient, convenient, and reliable method of drug and vaccine administration. Patients can now self-administer injectable drugs because of the availability of prefilled syringes. These syringes offer optimum dose precision, reduced drug waste, and increased lifespan of the product. Additionally, prefilled syringes offer greater patient safety by reducing the exposure to toxic materials that might happen while drawing medications from vials. These benefits will drive the prefilled syringes market from $1,914.1 million in 2020 to $3,646.7 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.8% during 2021–2030.

Patients with diabetes use the maximum number of prefilled syringes, for the administration of insulin. People suffering from other chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders (CVDs), and respiratory diseases, are increasingly relying on prefilled syringes. The increasing incidence of inflammatory chronic diseases, according to the Autoimmunity Research Foundation, is an outcome of vitamin supplementation, misuse of antibiotics, prevailing environmental conditions which subdue immunity, and widespread adoption of mandatory mass vaccinations. Different types of customized prefilled syringes with varied drug compositions and doses are now available to treat these diseases.

Thus, owing to the rising demand for biologics and biosimilars, growing expenditure on healthcare, increasing awareness about the technology of safe injectables, and presence of numerous medical device companies, European countries consumed the maximum number of prefilled syringes in the past. Moreover, P&S Intelligence reports that the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is demonstrating a rapid surge in the application of these syringes. This can be attributed to the numerous technological advancements and growing demand for injectable drugs to treat lifestyle-associated and chronic diseases in India and China.

The players in the consolidated prefilled syringes market are taking strategic measures such as product approvals to gain an edge in the industry. For instance, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for its supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) in June 2018 for the usage of low-dose Yervoy (ipilimumab) plus Opdivo (nivolumab) as the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in these patients with tumor mutational burden (TMB) >=10 mutations per megabase (mut/Mb).

The increase in the chronic disease incidence will, therefore, lead to a surging demand for drugs, while technological developments will result in the widescale application of prefilled syringes for their administration, especially by those living on their own or those who want more independence.

Why Are Governments Supporting Distributed Solar Power Generation?

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) states that the installed capacity of solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants increased from 580,759 Megawatts (MW) in 2019 to 707,494 MW in 2020. Additionally, the installed capacity of solar thermal power plants surged from 6,374 MW in 2019 to 6,475 MW in 2020. These power plants harness energy from the sun and use it to generate heat and electricity. The increasing capacity of installed PV cells and thermal power plants, owing to the mounting focus on sustainable living, will encourage the adoption of solar modules.

The surging installation of solar panels, on account of the rising national and international support, in terms of financial incentives and favorable policies, will fuel the distributed solar power generation market growth in the coming years. For instance, the Solar Risk Mitigation Initiative (SRMI) has been launched by the World Bank and Agence Française de Développement (AFD) to tackle the technical, financial, and policy challenges associated with scaling up solar energy production.

Moreover, the increasing global concerns for sustainable development are propelling the shift toward off-grid power generation. For instance, Goal 7 of the Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations (UN) aims to provide access to reliable, affordable, modern, and sustainable energy for all by 2030. Furthermore, Goal 7 targets the doubling of the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency, enhancements in international cooperation, to allow access to clean energy technology and research, and encouraging investment in clean energy technology and infrastructure.

According to P&S Intelligence, Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to lead the distributed solar power generation market in the foreseeable future due to the shortage of power supply, weak grid connectivity, and extensive government support being offered in developing countries, such as Thailand, China, Indonesia, and India. For instance, the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM KUSUM) scheme targets the installation of ground-mounted renewable energy plants with a total capacity of 10,000 MW by 2022. These solar plants will additionally be connected to the grid, so farmers can sell the extra energy to the power utilities.

Therefore, the escalating environmental concerns and mounting international and national support for renewable energy will boost the adoption of distributed solar power generation modules.
