Heart failure is a major public health burden in China. With a rapidly rising urban population and a growing trend in unhealthy lifestyles, heart failure is expected to affect a sizable population in the country. Although the treatment of acute heart failure (AHF) is dominated by older, cost-effective generic drugs, we expect the growing uptake of recently approved SGLT-2 inhibitors—dapagliflozin (Bristol Myers Squibb’s Farxiga) and empagliflozin (Boehringer Ingelheim’s Jardiance)—to boost the heart failure market. However, a significant unmet need exists for the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF) with preserved ejection fraction, where treatment options are limited, representing an opportunity for drug developers. In addition, the ongoing reforms in the regulatory and A&R landscape of China are expected to encourage MNCs to enter the heart failure market.
