The prevalence of chronic diseases (like cardiovascular diseases, obesity, overweight and diabetes) has become a great cause of concern for the Saudi Arabian government. These diseases have put an extra burden on government's allocation of funds for healthcare services. Our new research report "Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012" states that the number of patients suffering from chronic diseases will further escalate in future on the back of changing lifestyle, unhealthy diet and lack of physical activities. Under such circumstances, the government will be bound to raise its fund limits allocated to provide healthcare services. 

We have also found that the chronic diseases have become a common problem in the kingdom. For instance, the cases of overweight and obese in both male and female population have reached alarming levels. The number of diabetics has also soared significantly, with 16.7% (as of 2007) of the country's total population suffering from diabetes. Other chronic conditions such as asthma, hypertension and dementia have further worsened the situation, since drugs and treatment of these diseases are normally expensive and require life long medications and visits to hospitals.

Analyzing these changes in disease profile and government initiatives, our report projects that Saudi Arabian healthcare market will experience double digit growth rate in future. Besides, other segments of healthcare industry - hospital service market, pharmaceutical market and medical devices market - will witness strong demand for improved and high quality services.

"Saudi Arabian Healthcare Market Forecast to 2012" provides comprehensive information, unbiased analysis and reliable statistics on the Saudi Arabian healthcare market, with focus on current and future market trends. The report contains detailed analysis of all the factors that are driving growth in the healthcare industry. It also gives an overview of the industry restraints (like staff shortage, medical tourism and reforms delay) along with the regulatory environment to help clients understand the market structure in a better way.

The report also includes a macroeconomic and healthcare profile section that gives an insight into demographic condition, disease profile, healthcare spending and financing to broadly evaluate the market dynamics.
