[199 Pages Report] The Insulin Market size was estimated at USD 43.64 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 46.76 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 7.63% to reach USD 73.03 billion by 2030.
The insulin market encompasses the production, distribution, and consumption of various insulin types used to treat diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder affecting millions worldwide. The primary application of insulin is to control blood sugar levels in patients with type 1 diabetes who lack natural insulin production and those with type 2 diabetes who have developed insufficient or insufficient insulin release. The scope of this market includes human insulin, modern insulins such as rapid-acting and long-acting, and biosimilar insulins. Increasing prevalence of diabetes due to aging populations, improved access to healthcare services, increased awareness about diabetes management, and supportive government initiatives to expand the use and production of insulin. On the other hand, the high cost of insulin and the complex regulatory environment hinder the market growth. However, advancements in biotechnology, which have led to development of novel insulins and increasing approval rates, are expected to proliferate the market growth in the coming years.
Drug: Significant use of biologic drugs due to having safety, efficacy, and innovative features
Biologic insulin is naturally occurring insulin synthesized using recombinant DNA technology in living organisms, such as bacteria or yeast cells. These insulins are chemically identical to human insulin and closely mimic the body’s normal insulin response. Additionally, biological insulins demonstrate high efficacy in controlling blood sugar levels due to their precise molecular structure and function. Biosimilar insulins are similar to biologic insulins that have previously received approval and have no clinically significant variations from their reference products regarding safety, purity, or potency. These insulins are often more affordable than their branded counterparts due to reduced research and development costs associated with the biosimilars’ production process. Preference for biosimilar insulin arises from its cost-effectiveness compared to branded biologic insulin options. It provides comparable efficacy and safety profiles, allowing healthcare systems to save on expenses without compromising patient outcomes. The choice between biologic or biosimilar insulin depends on patient response, potential allergic reactions, healthcare system affordability concerns, and accessibility. Continued advancements in both segments are expected to further enhance diabetes care by providing safer and more effective treatment options while addressing the cost challenges healthcare systems worldwide face.
Type: Long-acting insulins provide basal coverage for an extended duration
Intermediate-acting insulin is designed to provide a steady insulin release over an extended period. People with diabetes who require a more stable and longer-lasting insulin effect may prefer intermediate-acting insulin. Long-acting insulin offers prolonged blood sugar control, lasting up to 24 hours or more, usually administered once daily, and is often combined with other forms of insulin for optimal glucose management. Premixed insulin combines intermediate-acting and short- or rapid-acting insulins, offering both immediate and sustained blood sugar control. Rapid-acting insulin works quickly after administration, controlling blood sugar before a meal, which is ideal for patients who need rapid correction of high blood glucose levels. Short-acting insulin, commonly known as regular insulin, controls blood sugar less than an hour after administration. It is suitable for patients who require a fast onset but shorter duration of action than intermediate-acting insulins.
Application: Extensive use of insulin by type I diabetic patients requires constant monitoring and timely administration of insulin
Type I diabetes, also called insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, is a chronic disease described by the incapacity of the pancreas to produce adequate insulin. As a result, patients with Type I diabetes require exogenous insulin to regulate their blood glucose levels. The need-based preference for this group is fast-acting insulins that provide rapid absorption and peak action time to mimic physiological insulin release during meals. Type II diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, characterized by resistance to the effects of insulin or insufficient production of this hormone. Patients with Type II diabetes may require various treatments ranging from oral medications to non-insulin injectable drugs or insulin injections, depending on disease progression. The need-based preference for this group includes long-acting basal insulins providing steady coverage over 24 hours and additional bolus injections if required for mealtime blood sugar control. Although both types of diabetes necessitate effective blood glucose management strategies, distinctions arise when considering the preferences for specific insulins or adjunct therapies based on individual needs.
Regional Insights
