Globally, more than 422 million people are suffering from type 1and type 2 diabetes. Wherein, most of the insulin demand is comingfrom type 1 as they are needed to inject insulin on daily basis toregulate the blood sugar level and avoid any further complications.As of 2020, more than 10% of the diabetic population is affected byT1D and the number is expanding rapidly with each passing year. Allage groups around found to be affected by the disease, but theprevalence is relatively higher among elderly people. In fact,people having T2D for more than 20 years are also emerged as theconsumer of insulin on regular basis. 

Report Scope:

Over $760 billion was spent on diabetes management in 2019 across the globe and the number is expected to surpass 830 billionby 2030 on account of rapidly growing prevalence of the disease.Wherein, the U.S. emerged as the largest country to spend more than$327 billion of diabetic care. The demand for insulin is likely toremain high in the developed countries of North America and Europeon account of its easy availability, controlled prices in Europe,coverage in insurance policy, and strong healthcare infrastructureamong others. China, India, the U.S. and Brazil are the top fourcountries housing largest diabetic population. For instance, Chinaalone has more than 116 million people suffering from the disease,whereas the U.S. has over 34 million people. In fact, it is thesixth deadliest disease across the globe. Every year, it claimslife of more than 1.8 million people.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all the sectors across the globe.However, it fails to leave any evident dent on the demand forinsulin. The demand remained steady during the initial period andis likely to continue the same in the years to come. However, thepandemic has disrupted the supply chain of materials required formanufacturing insulin to some extent due to stringent lockdownrestrictions across the globe. The lockdown has hampered thesmoothness of raw material transport to the manufacturing facility,which, in turn, has created pressure on the available resources tomeet the increasing demand for the products. Most of the playersbased in the European and Asia Pacific region faced littledifficulty in accessing the raw materials due to the ban on theimport and export activities to reduce the spread of infection. Asa result, the manufacturers had to purchase the required materialfrom the local providers at inflated prices

Growth Factors

Globally more than 422 million people are living with diabetesacross the globe. Every year, more than 1.6 million people die ofthe disease. Wherein, the prevalence of diagnosis and mortality ishigher in aging population. Mid and low-income countries are theworst affected, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. By2040, the diabetic population is likely to double, which wouldfurther drive the demand for insulin. As of 2019, Latin had around2.9 million people using insulin on daily basis, which is likely togrow at an alarming rate in the years to come.

The global market is witnessing a significant growth in theprevalence of diabetes on account of changing lifestyle, increasingobese and overweight population, sedentary lifestyle, increasedconsumption of food containing higher amount of carbohydrates andfat, and growing hereditary prevalence of type diabetes. Over 39%of the global adults are categorized as overweight. In 2016, morethan 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight. Ofthese over 650 million were obese. Apart from this, large number ofpeople are consuming tobacco and smoking. The number issignificantly high in China and India. It further increases therisk of developing diabetes.

This type of insulin acts more quickly after a meal, similarto the body's natural insulin, reducing the risk of a low bloodglucose (blood glucose below 4 mmol/L). Short-acting insulin takeslonger to start working than the rapid-acting insulins. It startsto reduce blood glucose levels within 30 minutes. Therefore, it isrecommended to administrate the dose within 30 minutes beforeeating. This type of insulin can last up to eight hours, but showsmaximum efficiency in the first 2-5 hours.

Indication Segment AnalysisPreview:

On the basis of Indication, the global market is segmented intotype 1 and type 2. It is recommended for the patient having type 1diabetes to inject insulin on daily basis. They are often advisedto take rapid insulin dose along with last lasting insulin forbetter outcome. Type 1 diabetes is always treated with insulin,which is injected with a pen, syringe or pump. The aim is to keepblood glucose levels as close to normal as possible. Over 64,000Americans are diagnosed with T1D every year. As of 2020, over 1.6million people in the U.S. are suffering from the disease.
