Demand for Latin America Insulin and Impact of COVID-19……..
The Latin
America Insulin market is expected
to reach USD 3,760.7 million by 2020,
according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing prevalence of
diabetes (type I and type II) coupled with government initiatives to develop
insulin in markets such as Brazil by providing medical and financial aid to the
population in the form of subsidies and the entrance of multinational companies
such as Novo Nordisk, Sanofi Aventis, etc is expected to drive regional insulin
market. Affordability of medicines is perceived to be a key challenge for market
development, as a significant part of the population may not be able to afford
the product.
Multiple therapeutic regimens are being
followed across the globe in attempts to come up with a reliable treatment for
Covid-19. One line of treatment includes the use of hydroxychloroquine, while a
second treatment line focuses to use antiviral drugs used in the disease
management of HIV. Both these approaches have surged demand from advanced
antivirals and antimalarial drugs. This impacts the drug manufacturers as an
off label indication for these drug classes has to be worked upon. At the
moment, the WHO has not prescribed any of these approaches, neither they have
commented if one is better than the other. The report will account for Covid19
as a key market contributor.
In 2013, Type II applications lead the
regional market, with revenue of USD 1,183.7 million and are expected to grow
at a CAGR of 15.8 % from 2014 to 2020. Type I applications are expected to have
faster growth, at an estimated CAGR of 20.3 % from 2014 to 2020.
The Latin America insulin market is
oligopolistic in nature and is dominated by players such as Novo Nordisk, Eli
Lilly and Company and Sanofi Aventis. Some of the other market players include
Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Oramed Pharmaceuticals, Nanjing Xinbai Pharmaceutical
Co. Ltd., Boehringer Ingelheim, Merck & Co. Inc., Biocon, along with
various local companies producing
biosimilars such as Sandoz, Amega
Biotech, Biosidus, Sinergium Biotech, Probiomed and EMS Farma.

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.

Some of the key manufacturers
in Latin American insulin market include Sanofi Aventis, Novo Nordisk, Nanjing
Xinbai Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly and Company.
Key
product segments analysed in this report include premixed insulin, premixed
analog, rapid acting analog, long-acting analog, short-acting insulin and
intermediate insulin. Insulin acting analog retained the maximum market share
in terms of revenue share in 2013 as high prices of long-acting analogs
contributed maximum towards revenue and launch of new products in various Latin
American markets has captured the market. Lantus by Sanofi Aventis influenced
the overall long-acting market in 2013, however, a setback is expected due to
its patent expiration in 2015.
Various
insulin products are derived from different sources. Insulin market can be
categorized on the basis of source of the product as human recombinant insulin
and analogs. Analogs possess a maximum market share in terms of revenue in 2013
due to deeper market penetration of various new products such as Tresiba by
Novo Nordisk.
Key
applications of insulin include type I and other diabetes and type II diabetes.
Type I diabetes, previously known as juvenile or insulin-dependent diabetes has
grabbed maximum market share in terms of revenue in 2013. Increasing usage of
insulin for treatment of type I diabetes along with the launch of new drugs has
helped this segment to capture large market share.
