Thailand Diabetes Care Drugs Market Analysis
The Thailand Diabetes Care Drugs Market size is estimated at USD 158.01 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 190.41 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
The healthcare system was significantly disturbed and pressured during each phase of rapid COVID-19 infection. Several countries, notably the Thai government, introduced home isolation or a home quarantine program to avert healthcare collapse and to ameliorate inadequate healthcare resources. Between July 2021 and October 2021, COVID-19 illness cases in Thailand increased to around 20,000-25,000 cases per day, posing difficulty in treating COVID-19 infection in hospitals. Previous research revealed the viability of a COVID-19 home monitoring program employing telemedicine to reduce the gap in treatment during a healthcare worker shortage in multiple countries. These programs monitored the intensity of symptoms and informed patients to seek additional treatment if necessary.
During COVID-19, there was a shortage of hospital capacity, and a home isolation system was set up. Thailand's government introduced diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES, glycemic management via telemedicine, and outcomes in home-isolated patients with COVID-19 infection. In August 2022, The National Research Council of Thailand (NRCT) introduced a breathalyzer prototype that can detect those infected with COVID-19 with 97% accuracy.
In terms of medicines, the insulin category commands a sizable market share. Over 100 million people worldwide use insulin, including all persons with Type 1 diabetes and 10% to 25% of people with Type 2 diabetes. Insulin production is extremely sophisticated, and only a few manufacturers are on the market. As a result, there is fierce rivalry among these producers, who continually strive to satisfy patients' demands by providing the highest-quality insulin.
Thailand Diabetes Care Drugs Market Trends
Oral-Anti Diabetes Drugs Segment is Having the Highest Market Share in Current Year
The Oral-Anti Diabetes Drugs segment is expected to increase with a CAGR of over 5 % during the forecast period, mainly due to the demand from the Type-1 diabetes population, which was more than 0.4 million by the end 2022.
Thailand's government, during COVID-19, provided medical supplies, including glucometers, blood glucose test strips, lancets, and urine test strips that were donated or purchased using donated funds. The supplies were stocked at a central location and distributed by volunteers, utilizing same-day commercial delivery services. Disposable prefilled insulin pens, both long-acting and short-acting analogs, were chosen instead of insulin vials to reduce administration errors, particularly in insulin-naĆÆve patients. Insulin pens were kept at a medical clinic and distributed in a temperature-controlled container by a same-day delivery service.
Insulin therapy is the most potent hypoglycaemic medication currently available for diabetes treatment; however, the potency of insulin deteriorates if it is stored under improper conditions. In Thailand, NCDs, including diabetes, account for more than 70% of all deaths. Obesity leads to a more than seven times increase in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while being overweight increases the risk by three times.
Through Thailand's government encouragement, the usage of Management Devices increased over the forecast period.

Increasing Diabetes population in Thailand
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in 2021, around 11% of the total health expenditure in Thailand is allocated to diabetes care, comparable to other countries in the region. By 2030, this figure is expected to grow by 41%, effectively doubling the societal burden of diabetes. In Thailand, around 4.8 million people have diabetes, and only 272 endocrinologists (or specialists) are available. In Thailand, three out of five people with diabetes who receive care do not achieve the recommended treatment targets.
Thus, the above factors are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
