LATEST TRENDS

Rising Penetration of Insulin Pumps among Type 1 Diabetic Patients

The rising incidence of diabetes has significantly influenced the need for insulin and insulin delivery devices among patients suffering from type 1 diabetes. Thus, increasing product launches by key industry players and their extensive presence across the APAC region have increased awareness of insulin pumps. Moreover, rising initiatives by government agencies and healthcare providers on the advantages of these pumps over other conventional therapies will further raise the product’s awareness among patients.

• According to a multicenter study published by the NCBI in June 2021, among 1,603 children that suffered from type 1 diabetes, 15.2% of patients reported using insulin therapy in China.

DRIVING FACTORS

Rising Government Initiatives for Diabetes Care to Offer Lucrative Opportunities for Market Growth

The demand for diabetes management is increasing owing to the rising prevalence of this disease and its risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, and others, among the patient population. Thus, several government agencies are implementing strategic initiatives, such as diabetes care programs and insulin delivery supply schemes to boost patient awareness of these devices. Such initiatives will propel the adoption of an insulin pump, further boosting the Asia Pacific insulin pump market growth.

• According to an article published by the Commonwealth of Australia, in November 2022, the Albanese Government subsidised access to the next generation of Omnipod insulin pumps to 130,000 Australians living with type 1 diabetes. The government is providing disposable pods through the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS) at community pharmacies in Australia.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Reimbursement Policies in Developing Countries to Limit Pump Sales

The need for insulin pumps is rising across the Asia Pacific region for blood glucose control and diabetes self-management among patients. However, the costs associated with insulin pump therapy and its consumables are high. The lack of reimbursement policies for these pumps by healthcare agencies and health insurers is limiting their adoption across developing countries. Moreover, rising diabetes treatment costs in these countries will further hamper the market growth.

• According to an article published by the NCBI in June 2022, there is no reimbursement for these pumps and related supplies in China.
