Diabetes

In 2017, the global diabetes market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% to reach US$90.7 billion in 2022 and US$137.7 billion in 2028. In terms of prevalence and incidence, China has the highest patient base (110.5 million), making it a battleground for pharmaceutical companies to find a position. A few key drivers are behind this. First, dramatic changes in lifestyle and an aging population will keep accelerating the spread of diabetes. Second, drug list expansions of reimbursement coverage will drive innovation for the next generation of anti-diabetes medicines. Third, pharmaceutical companies are now trying to diversify the features of therapeutic drugs, such as their half-life, mechanism of action, new concept of drug discovery, and so forth. In other words, diabetes medicine allows for more diversity on the discovery approach. Finally, new players are actively engaged in clinical trials in order to enter the market.
