Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Aging population:

As people age, the risk of type 2 diabetes increases. This is due to less activity, weight gain, and lower insulin sensitivity. The pancreas produces less insulin and works less effectively. So, older adults may need insulin. Most start with pills but switch to insulin as their condition worsens. Aging often brings other health issues, like heart, kidney, and vision problems. Therefore, managing blood sugar levels is important. Thanks to medical advances, people live longer. This means more seniors might need insulin.

• Rising diabetes prevalence:

Diabetes is rising worldwide, especially in developing and urban areas. This trend boosts the demand for insulin therapy. Type 1 diabetics need insulin for life because their bodies cannot produce it. Type 2 patients may also need insulin as their condition worsens. This often occurs when other treatments fail. New tests and awareness programs help catch diabetes earlier. So, more people start insulin therapy sooner, even if they may not need it yet. This early intervention is especially true for advanced type 2 and type 1 diabetics in Latin America.

• Advancements in insulin delivery systems:

Smart pens and devices are easier to use than pumps, vials, and syringes. Users prefer insulin pens for their simplicity and accuracy. This convenience helps people stick to their prescriptions and raises demand. Technology has significantly improved diabetes care. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and automated systems provide constant monitoring. They adjust insulin based on glucose levels and other factors. For instance, smart insulin pens track doses and send alerts. Many connect to mobile apps that help users log their levels and reach out to doctors.
