Summary

Insulin is a peptide hormone required in the body for normal carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism. Insulin is produced in the pancreas by the beta cells in specialized areas of pancreas called islets of Langerhans. Insulin promotes glucose uptake in the body cells, thus helps in controlling glucose level in the blood. People suffering from type 1 or type 2 diabetes experience high glucose level in their blood due to damaged pancreatic cells or insulin resistance in the body. Hence, diabetic people require an exogenous source of insulin to maintain their blood glucose levels. Some of the types of insulin include rapid acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, long-acting, ultralong-acting, and mixtures. 100 units/ml or U-100 concentration strength of insulin means that 1 ml of aqueous solution contain 100 units of insulin. Usually, all traditional insulin are available in the concentration of 100 units/ml, wherein 1 unit equals to around 36 μg of insulin. Insulin can be administered into the patient either intravenously or subcutaneously with the help of syringe. Insulin syringes are marked in insulin units and most of the available insulin syringes have 100 units/ml marking. Insulin is most commonly available in concentration of 100 units/ml. Moreover, insulin is also available in concentration: 200 units/ml, 300 units/ml, and 500 units/ml.

Latin America insulin vials market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,416.4 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.5% over the forecast period (2021-2028).

Latin America Insulin Vials Market – Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

Government of various countries are focusing on initiatives to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and stop the spread of the coronavirus infection by implementing various measures in the countries. The Latin American countries such as Brazil have implemented some measures and guidelines such as remote working to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the country.

Supply chain and manufacturing activities in Latin American countries such as Brazil, Argentina, and others have been disrupted due to lockdowns implemented by governments since the past few months, while countries such as Mexico, Chile, Nicaragua, and others are facing problems with regards to transportation of medical products such as biosimilars, medical devices, and drugs used for treatment of diabetes. This is expected to hamper the growth of Latin America insulin vials market during the COVID-19 pandemic.

For instance, according to the Brazilian National Regulatory Authority, ANVISA (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária) report 2020, in February 2020, Brazil declared national emergency due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and later implemented stringent measures and guidelines such as lockdown, social-distancing, remote working, and others. These guidelines will be followed by the pharmaceutical industries, automobile industries, and others, in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in Brazil. Thus, COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a negative impact on the growth of Latin America insulin vials market, owing to lack of labor and restricted supply of goods and materials related to manufacturing and distribution of insulin vials.

Latin America Insulin Vials Market: Restraint
