EUROPE INSULIN DRUGS AND GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE 1 (GLP-1) RECEPTOR AGONIST MARKET - GROWTH, TRENDS, COVID-19 IMPACT, AND FORECASTS (2022 - 2027)

EUROPE INSULIN DRUGS AND GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDE 1 (GLP-1) RECEPTOR AGONIST MARKET - GROWTH, TRENDS, COVID-19 IMPACT, AND FORECASTS (2022 - 2027)

The Europe Insulin Drugs and Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) Receptor Agonist Market is expected to register a CAGR greater than 4% over the forecast period, 2022-2027.

The COVID-19 epidemic has significantly affected the market for insulin drugs and devices. Patients with type-1 diabetes are more affected by COVID-19. Since people with diabetes already have weakened immune systems, COVID-19 causes those immune systems to deteriorate rapidly. Those with diabetes are more likely to experience significant complications than healthy persons. During COVID-19, the manufacturers of insulin drugs worked with local governments to provide insulin drugs to diabetes patients.

NovoNordisk stated on their website that “Since the start of COVID-19, our commitment to patients, our employees and the communities where we operate has remained unchanged, we continue to supply our medicines and devices to people living with diabetes and other serious chronic diseases, safeguard the health of our employees, and take actions to support doctors and nurses as they work to defeat COVID-19.” Doctors around the world suggested diabetes patients check their diabetes levels more often to be careful and the intake of medicine has increased, which lead to an increase in the usage of insulin drugs.

The rates of newly diagnosed Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes cases are seen increasing among the youth in Europe. The prevalence of diabetes among all ages in the European region is increasing, mainly due to obesity, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. The prevalence of autoimmune Type 1 diabetes is also increasing in Europe, and as per sources, Europe has the highest number of children with Type 1 diabetes. Though Type 2 patients are initiated with oral drugs, insulin may also be required when glucose levels are not well controlled due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Thus, the demand for insulin also exists among Type 2 diabetes patients.

Each drug is unique in the way it works in helping patients with diabetes to keep their condition under control. Certain drugs have similar actions, and they are grouped in the same class. They can also be classified in the way they are administered, with some medicines taken orally and others injected directly into the blood (insulin and GLP-1).

Byetta was the first GLP-1 that received approval in 2005. The glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist is administered subcutaneously and is used by Type 2 diabetes patients to control their blood glucose levels.

The rapidly increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetic patients and healthcare expenditure in Europe are indications of the increasing usage of diabetic drug products. Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period.

Key Market TrendsThe rise in Insulin Drug Pricing in Europe

Insulins have been in the market for decades. However, the cost of insulin has always been a primary concern. A recent example is the pull-out of Tresiba from Germany due to the pricing pressure after the authorities said they would price the long-acting basal insulin on par with old human insulin injections. Though biosimilar competition in Europe increased, allowing for insulin prices to be low, branded drugs have always been the order of the day. Moreover, leading players have been able to get multiple extensions by making incremental improvements to their branded drugs.

R&D of diabetes is crucial from many perspectives. Around 10% of all healthcare costs in Italy are related to diabetes. Diabetes represents a major public health challenge in Italy. R&D of diabetes is extensive across the world and in Italy itself. Italy ranks 3rd globally in the peer-reviewed publication of research on endocrine-metabolic topics. However, the incidence of diabetes is increasing due to lifestyle and nutrition factors.

Despite the increasing insulin drug Prices, with the increasing type-1 population in Europe the market for insulin drugs increasing and also their is no alternative for insulin drugs.

Germany Held the Highest Market Share in 2020

As of 2021, Germany dominated the insulin market and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. The rise is due to the high prevalence of diabetes among the country's population. In Germany, according to an estimate, the number of patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is gradually increasing.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers in the country, including Novo Nordisk, have assured diabetes patients that there is no current impact of COVID-19 on their supply chain. Furthermore, companies are regularly monitoring their supply chain to better assess the situation and act proactively, to ensure minimal or no disruption in the availability of insulin drugs for the diabetes population in the country.

Insulin drug pricing is a major concern in many countries, and Germany is not an exception. The German government regulates the prices of drugs, and thus, pharmaceutical companies are focusing on pricing the products at minimal rates.

Competitive Landscape

The Europe Insulin Drugs and GLP-1 receptor agonist market is largely consolidated in nature, with the presence of leading companies, like Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, and Eli Lilly. They account for more than 80% of the supply in Europe. All these companies have established their brands in the market. However, due to intense competition in the local markets for insulin, consumer penetration for their products must be achieved through constant work and effort.
