Global diabetes devices and drugs market is estimated to be valued at US$ 158.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 10% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Technological advancements in diabetes management devices is expected to be a key driver for market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, the increasing prevalence of diabetes and consequent rise in the adoption of insulin delivery devices is expected to further boost the global diabetes devices and drugs market growth

Analysts’ Views on Global Diabetes Devices And Drugs Market:

The prevalence of diabetes worldwide has been increasing at an alarming rate. According to the data published by International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in November 2021, global diabetes prevalence is estimated to be 10.5%, out of which almost half of the adults i.e. 44.7% are undiagnosed. According to IDF projections 783 million adults are expected to be diabetic by 2045 which sums to a ratio of one in eight adults. These figures mark an increase of 46%, which is more than double the estimated population growth i.e. 20%, during the same period. This growing prevalence of diabetes is expected to propel the global diabetes devices and drugs market over the forecast years.

Global Diabetes Devices And Drugs Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 has affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting the production and demand for biochemistry analyzers and medical devices, by creating disruptions in modality, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, and others faced problems with regard to the transportation of biochemistry analyzers from one place to another.

Quarantine, traveling constraints, and social distancing measures are likely to lead to a steep decline in business and consumer spending. Furthermore, healthcare providers were facing challenges in terms of additional manpower, equipment, consumables, and other resources which were required to ensure safety in hospitals and provide treatment to patients with other diseases. Though the overall impact on the healthcare market was positive. The demand for diabetes monitoring devices and therapeutic devices increased during the pandemic since individuals diagnosed with diabetes are at increased risk of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, there was an increase in partnership and collaboration activity among manufacturers. For instance, in November 2020, Diabeloop, a pioneer in therapeutic AI, and Terumo Corporation, a global leader in medical technology, announced that they have entered an agreement for the joint development of an automated insulin delivery (AID) system with exclusive distribution rights in Japan. Terumo's revolutionary insulin patch pump will be included in the Diabeloop-developed system. Terumo solidifies its position as a leader in diabetes innovation, while Diabeloop pushes forward with its interoperability plan.

Global Diabetes Devices And Drugs Market Segmentation:

The global diabetes devices and drugs market report is segmented into by category and by disease type.

By category, the market is segmented into diagnosis and monitoring, and therapeutics. Out of which, the diagnosis and monitoring segment is further segmented into blood glucose monitoring devices, other testing devices, software programs for diabetes monitoring, and artificial pancreas sub-segments. Moreover, the therapeutics segment is further segmented into insulin, insulin delivery, oral hypoglycemic agents, and cell therapies. Amongst the diagnosis and monitoring, and therapeutics segments, the therapeutics segment is expected to dominate the market. With technological advancements and a robust clinical development pipeline, the market for diabetes therapeutics is expected to depict high growth opportunities in the near future.

By disease type, the market is segmented into type 2 diabetes, and type 1 diabetes. Out of which, the type 2 segment is expected to dominate the market. A higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes is expected to be the key driver of the segment.

Among all segmentation, the type 2 diabetes segment holds the highest growth potential due to the higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes as compared to type 1 diabetes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 90-95% of the individuals diagnosed with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Although type 2 diabetes most often develops in people aged 45 years and above, its incidence among young adults is on a steep rise.

Global Diabetes Devices And Drugs Market Cross Sectional Analysis:
