The Antihypertensive market is a subset of the Cardiovascular Drugs market, which focuses on medications used to treat high blood pressure. These drugs are used to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular diseases.

Common classes of antihypertensives include diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and angiotensin receptor blockers. The Antihypertensive market is highly competitive, with many large pharmaceutical companies offering a variety of products. Some of the major players in the market include Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, Sanofi, and GlaxoSmithKline.
