Increase in Incidence of Diabetes Bolsters Europe Insulin Market

Diabetes, a life-threatening chronic disease with no specialized cure, is mainly caused by the body’s incapacity to produce or effectively utilize the hormone insulin. This incapacity prevents the body from adequately regulating blood glucose levels. The incidence and prevalence of diabetes are rapidly increasing across Europe. Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent form of diabetes and has grown alongside cultural and societal changes. In high-income countries, up to 91% of adults with the disease have type 2 diabetes. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), ~537 million people were living with diabetes in 2021, and the number is expected to reach 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. Diabetes increases the risk of premature death of individuals by leading to complications in several body parts. Primary complications include heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, leg amputation, vision loss, and nerve damage. Patients who have diabetes require frequent monitoring and external insulin administration. Thus, the rising prevalence of diabetes is driving the growth of the insulin market in Europe.
