Insulin is a natural hormone secreted by pancreas in the body. Insulin acts as a regulator for glucose levels in the body, and helps prevent hyperglycaemia (excessive blood glucose levels). Upon influx of glucose in the blood, pancreas produce insulin which acts as a gateway for the cells to use the glucose as an energy source. In the absence of glucose, cells cannot utilize excessive glucose and it builds up in the blood causing several complications such as hyperglycaemia.

Market Drivers and Restraints:

• Increasing prevalence of diabetes
  • According to Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2019, there were 28.7 million people of all ages had diagnosed with diabetes in the US
  • Patients suffering from type 1, and type 2 diabetes are administered with insulin via subcutaneous or intravenous route. 
  • Type 1 diabetes patients are fully dependant on externally administered insulin as their pancreas are not capable of producing insulin.
• Industry developments such as product launches, acquisitions and collaborations are expected to support market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in 2022, Novo Nordisk launched Tresiba Biologic Analog Insulin to expand affordability options

However, factors such as high costs which reduce treatment access to certain extent and unavailability of cost effective alternatives hinder growth of the market.
