The younger population, in particular, is more inclined towards using digital healthcare apps and devices for managing their health and wellness.

Trends in the market: In Japan, there is a rising demand for smart blood pressure meters and smart thermometers, driven by the country's aging population and the need for remote monitoring of health conditions. Contraception/fertility apps are also gaining popularity among young couples in urban areas who are looking for non-invasive family planning solutions.

Local special circumstances: In China, the online pharmacy sector is experiencing rapid growth, fueled by the government's support for digital healthcare initiatives and the increasing acceptance of e-commerce platforms for purchasing medications. The country's vast population and limited access to traditional healthcare facilities are also driving the demand for online pharmacy services.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: The economic growth and increasing disposable income levels in countries like South Korea and Singapore are contributing to the expansion of the digital treatment and care market. As people become more health-conscious and tech-savvy, the adoption of digital therapeutics and healthcare devices is expected to rise in these affluent Asian nations.
