Market Overview
- North America dominates the diabetes drugs care market globally, and the US holds the highest market share in the North America region.
- Diabetes or diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate or does not produce insulin which is known as Type 1 diabetes, or because the body's cells do not respond appropriately to insulin which is called Type-2 diabetes mellitus, or both.
- Approximately 10% of all diabetes cases are type-1, and about 90% of all cases of diabetes worldwide are of type-2.
Scope of the Report
For treating diabetes in the US and worldwide there are certain categories of drugs available which include: Combination drugs, Insulin, non-insulin injectables and oral antidiabetic drugs. Among all the categories oral antidiabetic drugs holds the major market share at a massive 40.06% followed by insulin which is 38%. The geographies covered in the report include US and Canada in the North America region.

Key Market Trends
Rising Prevalence of Diabetes
- North America diabetes market size in 2019 was USD 33462.12 million with an expected CAGR of 6.19% during the forecast period 2018-2024.
- The rising prevalence of diabetes in the United States is the most influencing factor driving the market for diabetes drugs in the region.
- In 2017, 7.4% of the population of the United States, i.e., 24.18 million were diabetic. Statistics prove that one in ten individuals in the country has diabetes and a rise in this trend is expected to take the situation to one in three by 2050 (according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention).
- With the increase in diabetes population, the need and demand for diabetes drugs are expected to increase in North America.
- The other factors, such as better adoption than other therapies and government initiatives are driving the diabetes drugs market.
- Canada also holds a significant share in the growth of the diabetic population with 3.4 million diabetic patients which comprise of 10.2% of the whole Canada population.

Competitive Landscape
- A large chunk of the diabetic population in the United States has been taking generic drugs during the past few years.
- In 2017, per person, spending on diabetes drugs in the United States was more than any traditional medication. Half the prescribed drugs in this class were generics. Another cost concerning factor is seen in the Insulin market. There are no generic versions of the drug yet in the market though it is a very old invention.
- While it is considered as a classical medication for diabetes, it is a costly affair for many people, which would eventually hinder the growth of the global diabetes drugs market.
- The other factor, such as the regulatory framework and adverse reactions due to medications is also hindering the growth of the market.
