Insulin is a body hormone and is an internal secretion of the pancreas formed by a group of cells referred to as the islets of Langerhans. The primary functions of this hormone are to enable the entry of glucose into the cells and provide energy and to help maintain blood glucose levels at appropriate levels. Insulin is administered to patients suffering from type I and type II diabetes. Type I diabetes was previously known as juvenile or insulin-dependent diabetes and is marked by the body’s inability to produce insulin. Patients with type II diabetes may also use insulin in cases where the body’s demand for insulin surpasses insulin production. Latin America insulin market is growing at a significant rate and is expected to capture largest market share in global insulin market in terms of revenue. Increasing ubiquity of diabetes (both type I and type II) is expected to be the primary driver of this market during the forecast period. According to the estimates of International Diabetes Federation, the global prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase from 366 million in 2011 to 552 million by 2030 and such a rapid growth in prevalence is expected to have a high impact on market growth over the forecast period. The introduction of regulations in favour of insulin manufacturers in Latin America region has encouraged various multinational companies to enter into Latin America for establishing production units, which has significantly helped the market growth. Some of the other drivers of this market include growing prevalence of lifestyle induced disorders such as obesity, increasing global base of geriatric population and R&D initiatives aimed at developing new products.    
Further key findings from the study suggest:
·         Long acting products dominated insulin demand in Latin America, with estimated revenue of USD 548.6 million in 2013. Other leading products include rapid acting and premixed analogs, with the latter expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.3 % from 2014 to 2020.
·         In 2013, Analog was a dominant insulin source and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.7 % from 2014 to 2020.
·         R&D initiatives, changing lifestyle affecting health of people specially children and growing rate of old aged (above 40) population are also expected to have a positive influence on market demand.
·         In 2013, Brazil was the largest regional insulin market in terms of revenue, accounting for 38.0% share of Latin American demand, followed by Mexico and Argentina. Brazil insulin demand is estimated to grow at a fastest CAGR of 18.2 % from 2014 to 2020.
