Key Market Trends

Growing Diabetic Population in China is Generating the Demand

According to the International Diabetes Federation, China is witnessing a significant increase in the proportion of the diabetic population. Based on the latest statistics, the number of people with diabetes in China is estimated to be 1 in 10 out of Chinese adults. Furthermore, the proportion is expected to increase at a significant rate for both the male and female in the coming years. As China has become modernized, the inactive lifestyle favored by western people has penetrated into Chinese culture, leading to less exercise and more eating and high consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages by the consumers.
