Market Insights

The global antidiabetic demand is powered by an ever-growing geriatric population, rising obesity among the public on numerous grounds, such as unhealthy eating habits and demanding and round-the-clock working conditions. Governments are likewise fueling business expansion programs to educate and increase awareness, enhance diabetes care, and innovate goods.

Many of the key drivers for this market growth include combinations of various medicines such as sitagliptin and metformin as well as other medicines in different stages during the process of clinical and pipeline production. Growing diabetes prevalence and new drug releases by major pharmaceutical firms are two of the main growth factors on this market.

Many of the major antidiabetic solution providers include a successful anti-diabetic pipeline and emerging companies, including the diabetes drug Tresiba by Novo Nordisk and the FDA clearance of Ryzodeg in September 2015. In fact, the Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH has a large diabetic drugs portfolio for patients with type II and elevated cardiovascular risk, such as Linagliptin (a dipeptidyl peptidase, DPP 4 inhibitor).

Nevertheless, all of these medicines have lost patent rights despite the existence of several antidiabetic branded medications. Despite immense demands from the government and the regulatory bodies that have banned top-selling medicines in multiple countries to allow lower quality generic drugs for diabetic patients. For eg, in November 2015, Mankind Pharma launched Dynaglipt (Teneligliphine), under DPP-4 inhibitors class in India for the middle to low revenue diabetic community.

The number of antidiabetics will then be moved to the market of first-generation pharmaceutical drugs and other generic medicines. In the case of antidiabetics which can treat many diabetes-related chronic diseases including cardiovascular disorders, dyslipidemia, hypertension etc., a significant unmet medical need has also been found. The lack in medication efficacy over a period and subsequent safety risks are another significant constraint in the antidiabetic market.

COVID-19 Impacts

The use of Hydroxychloroquine is a method of therapy while the second line of therapy focuses on the application of antiviral medications used to treat HIV infections.
