Type 1 diabetes patients require multiple doses of insulin in a day. Advancements in research and technology has led to commercialization of easy-to-use insulin delivery systems such as insulin pens, pumps, inhaled insulin, and injectors. Use of syringes to deliver insulin has become obsolete with the introduction of advanced and easy-to-use insulin delivery systems.
Moreover, these systems offer self-administration of insulin. Artificial pancreas system automatically detects glucose level in patient’s blood or plasma, and accordingly administers necessary dosage of insulin. For instance, Medtronic's MiniMed 670G is one such wearable artificial pancreas that automatically monitors glucose levels, and delivers insulin through an insulin pump attached to the device. The artificial pancreas technology includes a transmitter, sensor, and insulin pump. This helps in continuous monitoring of insulin levels in body and manages diabetes at ease.
Market Dynamics
Continuous research and development of novel artificial pancreas device systems is expected to support the artificial pancreas device system (APDS) market growth over the forecast period.
For instance, in May 2019, Beta Bionics, Inc. and Zealand Pharma started an in-home trial of iLet Bionic Pancreas system, a dual-hormone pump system designed to automatically deliver insulin and dasiglucagon – an experimental form of glucagon designed by Zealand Pharma to be stable in liquid form- based on blood sugar readings from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
High prevalence of diabetes type 1 is expected to rise demand for its novel monitoring systems and drive the artificial pancreas device system (APDS) market growth over the forecast period.
For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), number of diabetes patients worldwide increased from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. Furthermore, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), type 1 diabetes accounts for around 5% of the total diagnosed diabetes cases in adults in the U.S.
