The diabetes drug market is a growing industry, as diabetes is a widespread chronic disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Diabetes drugs are medications used to control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.

The global diabetes drug market is expected to expand in size and grow at a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period of 2022-2030, claims Market Research Future (MRFR) in a minutely analysed research report. The diabetes drug market has been growing continuously on account of steadily growing number of cases and prevalence of diabetes over the past few years. Sedentary lifestyle along with consumption of high-calorie food accentuates the prevalence of diabetes. Owing to the high incidence and progressive nature of the disease, there are substantial high unmet medical needs which drives the diabetes drug market. There is no ultimate cure for diabetes although a variety of drugs are available in the market for the treatment of diabetes. This encourages researchers and biopharmaceutical companies to conduct clinical trials and research for the development of an effective drug for diabetes. Increased R&D activities coupled with funding by various governments across the world boosts the growth of the market. Moreover, increased expenditure on healthcare too supports the growth of the market. Approvals of multiple new drugs by FDA aimed at curing diabetes also helps in the expansion of the market. Continued strong growth in the diabetes drug market is fuelled by a rise in the global geriatric population who are at more risk of acquiring diabetes. Essential medicines critical to the treatment of diabetes are often unavailable in low-income and middle-income countries. Lack of affordability and access to diabetes drugs such as insulin remains a key impediment to the growth of the market. Other impeding factors include complex drug approval process and difficulties in drug commercialization. The high cost of diabetic drugs prompts the use of generics which restricts the growth of the market. Lack of long-term efficacy of available drugs are also expected to be a potential hindrance to the market growth.
