The exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) treatment market is largely accelerated by the growing aging population base. The global demographic landscape is shifting toward an older population, increasing the prevalence of age-related health conditions, including those leading to EPI, and boosting the demand for pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT).
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global population aged 60 and over is projected to grow from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2030, eventually doubling to 2.1 billion by 2050. Furthermore, the number of individuals aged 80 and older is expected to triple by 2050, reaching 426 million.
Therefore, this demographic trend highlights the increasing need for effective treatments that address age-related health conditions such as EPI, further propelling the growth of the PERT market.
