Y-O-Y growth in the prevalence of diabetes is one of the major factors propelling the diabetes treatment market in the Asia-Pacific region. The number of people living with diabetes increases yearly. Ninety million people lived with diabetes in Asia in 2021. In Asian countries, more than 60% of people have diabetes. An increase in diabetes can lead to heart attack, vision loss, leg cutting in the infected area, damage to a blood vessel, and strokes.  Diabetes is caused in people due to being overweight, large amounts of drinking alcohol, smoking, obese nutrition transition, having increasingly unhealthy lifestyles, and having poor nutrition. In addition, sudden change in the lifestyle of rural people is the reason for metabolic disorders, which result in diabetes. This results in people being more concentrated on health and taking diabetes treatment.

Growing R&D activities is another key factor supporting the growth rate of the diabetic treatment market in the Asia-Pacific. Researchers have found that diabetes is mainly caused by obesity. Therefore, rising insulin therapy also goes to the diabetes treatment market. Insulin is most used by people who have high diabetes. It is used to maintain the sugar levels in the blood.

On the other hand, lack of awareness regarding the treatment options, lack of insurance plans, and increasing cost of diabetes treatment hamper the growth of the diabetes treatment market in Asia-Pacific. In addition, side effects associated with diabetes treatment options further inhibit the market's growth rate. For instance, headaches, cough, dizziness, dry mouth, and abnormal rise in blood sugar are some of the side effects caused by diabetes medication.
