Sartans Market Report 2025

The sartans market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $21.36 billion in 2024 to $22.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the growing adoption of sedentary lifestyles, increasing incidence of obesity, rising awareness about cardiovascular diseases, increasing healthcare expenditure, and rising demand for generic antihypertensive drugs.

The sartans market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $26.07 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on combination therapies, rising investments in pharmaceutical R&D, growing demand in emerging markets, expanding healthcare infrastructure, and rising prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in drug delivery technologies, advanced manufacturing processes for APIs, the development of fixed-dose combination drugs, innovation in personalized hypertension treatment, and the development of novel sartan derivatives.

The forecast of 4.1% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of trade restrictions may challenge U.S. cardiology practices by increasing costs of angiotensin receptor blockers and hypertension medications imported from India and Israel, potentially compromising blood pressure control and raising cardiovascular treatment expenditures. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The rising prevalence of hypertension is expected to drive the growth of the sartans market. Hypertension, a condition characterized by persistently high blood pressure, increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious health complications. The growing incidence of hypertension is largely linked to diets high in salt and processed foods, which can lead to fluid retention and added strain on the heart. Sartans help manage hypertension by blocking angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By relaxing and widening the blood vessels, sartans lower blood pressure and reduce the heart's workload. For example, in January 2024, the American Heart Association reported that high blood pressure was responsible for 131,454 deaths in 2022, an increase from 124,508 deaths in 2021. As a result, the rising prevalence of hypertension is driving the growth of the sartans market.

Leading companies in the sartans market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as tablet-form sartans, to improve treatment efficacy and patient adherence. These oral medications contain sartan drugs, which block the effects of angiotensin II, promoting blood vessel relaxation and lowering blood pressure. For example, in July 2024, Zydus Lifesciences, an India-based pharmaceutical company, received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Valsartan Tablets USP (40 mg, 80 mg), marketed under the brand name Diovan. These tablets are prescribed to treat hypertension, heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack in adults, and are also suitable for pediatric patients aged one year and older.

In April 2025, Scienture Holdings, Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer of sartans, partnered with Saptalis Pharmaceuticals to develop and distribute Arbli (losartan potassium oral suspension, 10 mg/mL). This collaboration includes warehousing and distribution agreements with strategic partners to ensure market readiness for the first FDA-approved ready-to-use oral liquid losartan, addressing unmet needs in the treatment of hypertension. Saptalis Pharmaceuticals is a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the pharmaceutical sector. Companies are grappling with higher costs on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), glass vials, and laboratory equipment - many of which have limited alternative sources. Generic drug manufacturers, already operating with minimal profit margins, are particularly affected, with some scaling back production of low-margin medications. Biotech firms are also experiencing delays in clinical trials due to shortages of specialized reagents linked to tariffs. In response, the industry is shifting API production to regions like India and Europe, building up inventory reserves, and advocating for tariff exemptions on essential medicines.

Sartans, also known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), are medications commonly prescribed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. They work by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels, thereby promoting vessel relaxation, lowering blood pressure, and improving circulation. Sartans help reduce the risk of strokes, kidney damage, and heart attacks in individuals with specific cardiovascular conditions.

The main types of sartans include valsartan, telmisartan, losartan, irbesartan, azilsartan, and olmesartan. Valsartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), lowers blood pressure and reduces heart strain by relaxing blood vessels. It is distributed through various channels such as hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, online pharmacies, and others. Valsartan is used for several applications, including hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, and more, and is employed by various end-users such as hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, and others.
