MARKET DRIVERS

The growing prevalence of diabetes due to obesity majorly drives the growth of the insulin delivery devices market.

As per the statistics published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 37.3 million are living with diabetes, which is 11.3% of the total population of the United States and about 422 million people worldwide with diabetes, with the majority of sufferers living in low-income nations, according to WHO figures. Every year, diabetes causes roughly 1.5 million fatalities. About 9 million persons were given a type 1 diabetes diagnosis in 2019; most of them were from high-income nations. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes predominates globally, accounting for around 95% of all cases. The need for insulin delivery devices is directly proportional to the increasing patient population suffering from diabetes.

Technological advancements in insulin delivery devices, such as smart insulin pens and insulin pumps and growing support from USFDA further contribute to the global market growth. For instance, The FDA approved the first generation's MiniMed 530G artificial pancreas in 2013. In addition, the FDA gave Medtronic's MiniMed 770G system, a hybrid closed-loop diabetes management device, its approval on September 1st, 2020. With the invention of this new insulin delivery method, the procedure is now simpler than before, promoting the demand for the market. 

Growing consumer awareness of the availability of several delivery devices, the rising prevalence of hyperglycemia, increasing awareness about diabetes management and the importance of insulin delivery devices and rapid adoption of insulin therapy for diabetes management drives the insulin delivery devices market growth. The growing geriatric population who are more prone to diabetes and require insulin administration, favorable reimbursement policies for insulin delivery devices in some healthcare systems and rising F.D.A. support boost the insulin delivery devices market growth.

The rising demand for minimally invasive and painless insulin delivery options, growing incidence of obesity, a major risk factor for developing diabetes, improving healthcare infrastructure and access to diabetes care in developing regions and rising emphasis on improving insulin delivery accuracy and dosage control further fuel the growth rate of the insulin delivery devices market. Innovations in needle technologies, including shorter and finer needles for improved patient comfort, growing preference for insulin pens due to their ease of use and convenience, integration of insulin delivery devices with digital platforms and mobile applications for remote monitoring and management, increasing investments in research and development for advanced insulin delivery technologies and expansion of product portfolios by key market players favor the growth of the insulin delivery devices market.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

High costs associated with insulin delivery devices, limiting affordability for some patients, limited reimbursement coverage for certain types of insulin delivery devices and stringent regulatory requirements and approval processes for new insulin delivery devices majorly hamper the global market growth. Fear or resistance to adopting new technologies among healthcare professionals and patients, risk of device-related complications, such as infection or device malfunction and limited availability and accessibility of insulin delivery devices in certain regions or healthcare settings hinder the market growth. Lack of patient education and awareness about the benefits and proper use of insulin delivery devices, challenges in integrating insulin delivery devices with existing diabetes management systems and electronic health records and limited customization options for insulin delivery devices to meet individual patient needs further impede the market growth.
