Moreover, in the Western Pacific region, the number of diabetic patients is expected to reach 201.8 million by 2035. Additionally, according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation by 2050, over ~50% of all osteoporotic hip fractures are expected to occur in Asia. Factors such as increasing geriatric population and growing healthcare expenditure along with favourable government policies are projected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
