The market for human recombinant insulin is expected to witness significant growth, due to the increasing prevalence of diabetes. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Diabetes Atlas 2019, the prevalence of diabetes in Chile was approximately 1,262.2 out of 100,000 in 2019 and is expected to rise by 1,531.5 out of 100,000 population till 2030.
Global Human Recombinant Insulin Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns in various countries across the globe have impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors, including the private healthcare sector. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire supply chain of the healthcare industry, mainly due to strict lockdown in several regions. Private healthcare is one such sector that has been impacted significantly by the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global human recombinant insulin market, owing to increase risk of COVID-19 infection in diabetes patients. For instance, on June 04, 2022, an study published by The American Diabetes Association (ADA) reveals that diabetes is a potential risk factor for post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), also known as long COVID-19, a range of post-COVID-19 symptoms such as brain fog, skin conditions, depression, and shortness of breath. The findings were presented as a late-breaking poster session at the 82nd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in the U.S.
