Human Insulin Market: Information by Type (Traditional Human Insulin (Premixed Traditional, Intermediate Acting and Short-Acting), Modern Human Insulin (Premixed Modern, Long-Acting and Rapid Acting) and Brand (Lantus, Novorapid, Humalog, Novomix, Levemir, Apidar, Humulin and Insuman)) - Forecast till 2030

Human Insulin Market Analysis 

Market Research Future (MRFR) expects the human insulin market to attain a 11.91% CAGR between 2020 and 2030. The market size could touch USD 156478.39 Million by 2030.

Diabetes is a major lifestyle-related condition that has affected a massive population worldwide. The burden of the disorder continues to surge as the worldwide population explodes. Around 100 million people worldwide require insulin, including those that suffer from Type 1 diabetes while between 15-30% of those patients are Type 2 diabetes.

Despite insulin being the primary form of treatment for diabetes, majority of that that require insulin are still unable to afford and have easy access to it. The significant costs associated with insulin analogs remains a huge factor restraining the market growth. Moreover, patients affected by diabetes are required to regularly take insulin supplements, throughout their lifetime, putting substantial financial burden on them.

However, extensive research and development in the insulin segment has risen incredibly over the years, with researchers working on developing suitable molecules for patients' use. This could help bring down chances of side effects, and enhance their efficiency. Therefore, the surging prevalence of diabetes along with obesity across the world would augment the market demand in the next few years.

Covid 19 Analysis

Covid 19 had a profound impact on the human insulin market. Due to restrictions in travel and movement of goods, there were wide disruptions in the supply chain. Moreover, the temporary shut down of manufacturing units to curb the virus spread decreased the production rate. Thus, there was a huge shortage of human insulin worldwide for a short period. However, the human insulin market has shown rapid recovery post covid period.  

Market Dynamics

Drivers

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is the key factor driving the human insulin market growth. The percentage of the population suffering from obesity & diabetes has risen significantly owing to change in lifestyle and dietary habits. This is, in turn, raising the demand for human insulin.

There has been a remarkable development in insulin production technology which is further increasing its adoption rate. Newer technologies such as recombinant DNA technology have enabled mass production of insulin to meet the huge demand. Thus, this has made insulin affordable and available to reach a wider population. The ongoing research activities are also likely to increase the market value further. 

The rising disposable income of people is too a major contributor to the rising demand for insulin. Moreover, increasing awareness about the disease and easy acceptance is supporting the growth of the human insulin market.  

Restraints

The high cost of insulin analogs is the major factor hindering the human insulin market growth. Additionally, the patients suffering from diabetes need to take insulin supplements regularly, forever for their lifetime which puts a financial burden on the individuals. The need for highly skilled manpower and sophisticated manufacturing infrastructure increases the manufacturing cost. Furthermore, strict regulatory requirements for insulin approval are also a potential restraining factor. 

Technology Analysis

Human insulin is synthetic insulin manufactured in the industry to mimic natural insulin produced by the pancreatic cells in our body. It is used as an insulin supplement to treat diabetes. Insulin is a vital hormone in our body that helps in controlling blood sugar levels and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fat.  

Human Insulin is manufactured using recombinant DNA technology by inserting an insulin-producing gene into e-coli bacteria as the host. It is used as a subcutaneous injection in the fat layer of the skin. The final product is available in vials and can be injected through syringes, insulin pumps, insulin jets, etc.

Segment Analysis 

Segmentation of the human insulin Market, by Type

• Traditional Human Insulin
  
  
  
  • premixed traditional
  
  
  • Intermediate-acting
  
  
  • Short-acting 
  
  
  
  

• Modern Human Insulin
  
  
  
  • Premixed modern
  
  
  • Long-acting
  
  
  • Rapid-acting
  
  
  
  

Modern human insulin is the leading market segment. The greater advantages of modern insulin especially properties like rapid action and higher efficiency increase its market value. Modern human insulin, also known as analog insulin, has a more predictable duration of action than the traditional types. 

Segmentation of the human insulin market, By Applications

• Type 1 Diabetes


• Type 2 Diabetes


• Gestational


• Prediabetes

Type - 1 diabetes leads the market segment owing to the need for regular administration of insulin. This type of diabetes is also known as insulin-dependent diabetes. In this case, pancreatic cells produce less or no insulin which raises the need for artificial supplementation.

However, type 2- diabetes is more prevalent among the other types. A study finds that about 95 % of diabetic patients suffer from type 2 diabetes. It occurs when our body doesn't make enough insulin to fulfill the body's need or is not able to utilize Insulin properties. In this case, the patient may control blood sugar level through his diet and only requires insulin in severe cases.  

Segmentation of the Human insulin market, By Brand

• Humulin


• Actrapid


• Insumoc


• Humalog


• Apidra


• Lantus


• Novomix


• Others

Among different brands, Lantus is the leading Insulin brand.  It is a long-acting insulin analog and is available in more than 120 countries. However, Apidra and Levemir are the fastest-growing market segments. The Apidra is a rapidly acting analog insulin type and Levemir is a long-acting insulin analog used as base insulin. Moreover, there is stiff competition among different brands which will bring a positive effect on the market.
