The COVID-19 pandemic has been testing the capacity to respond and adapt to populations, governments, and health systems worldwide. In the Latin America region, Brazil presented the first suspected and the first confirmed cases on January 27th and February 26th, respectively. Most Latin American countries failed to implement timely measures to protect individuals with diabetes, which may severely impact individuals, health systems, and economies.

The diabetic prevalence is high in countries in the Latin American region, and Mexico is known to have a high number of diabetic patients due to the growing prevalence of Type-2 diabetes in the country. The gradually growing obesity rate, combined with the genetic predisposition for Type-2 diabetes, is acted as a prominent driver for the increase in the Type-2 diabetic population over the last 40 years. Currently, close to 10% of the total population is living with diabetes. Diabetic patients in the Latin American region mainly suffer from Type-2 diabetes, and they accounted for close to 90% of the total diabetic population in 2021.

Insulin syringes have gained acceptance in the market as drug delivery systems designed for injectable drugs. Prefilled syringes provide the advantage of precise dosing, as the syringes are already loaded with a dose worth of the drug. They are generally preferred for the parenteral administration of various drugs, and they are used mainly for the treatment of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and several other diseases.

This is driving the demand for Insulin Syringes in Latin America, thereby driving the market in focus during the forecast period.
