Delirium Market Trends

• Growing aging population is to boost the market growth

The aging population is a significant driver of the delirium market. As the global population experiences a demographic shift towards older adults, the prevalence of delirium increases. Older individuals are more susceptible to delirium due to factors such as underlying health conditions, cognitive impairments, polypharmacy, and hospitalization. The physiological changes associated with aging, such as alterations in neurotransmitters and decreased cognitive reserve, also contribute to the vulnerability to delirium. The aging population's impact on the delirium market is multifaceted. Firstly, it leads to a greater number of delirium cases, creating a higher demand for diagnostic tools, interventions, and management strategies. Secondly, the complex medical needs of older patients require tailored approaches to delirium prevention and management. This drives the development of specialized programs, protocols, and guidelines for geriatric delirium care. In October 2022, according to the WHO, the number of people 60 and older will rise from 1 Million in 2020 to 1.4 Million. The number of people 60 and older in the world will double (2.1 Million) by the year 2050. Between 2020 and 2050, there will be 426 million more people who are 80 years of age or older.

Additionally, the aging population influences research and development efforts focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms of delirium and developing age-specific interventions. It also highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and training to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective delirium management in older adults. Overall, the growing aging population is a driving force behind the expansion and advancement of the delirium market.
