Historical and Current Trends of Human Insulin Market Size in Terms of Volume and Value

On account of the growing number of diabetic patients, increasing geriatric population, technological advancements in insulin delivery devices, and rising population exposed to risk factors are leading to the growth of the human insulin market. The global market generated a revenue of $42.9 billion in 2017, and it is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period (2018–2023). Human insulin (HI) is synthetic insulin, which mimics the effects and functionality of natural insulin in humans. It is generally created by growing the insulin protein in the E. coli bacteria.


In a recent P&S Intelligence research, the human insulin market is segmented by type, application, and region. Under the product segment, the market is further divided into HI drugs and delivery devices. Due to increase in research and development  activities for drugs discovery and manufacture, and high prevalence of diabetes, HI drugs held the larger share (79.5%) in the market in 2017 in terms of value. Furthermore, the rise in geriatric population and growth in demand for HI analogs is also pushing the market progress; analogs and biologics are two categories of the HI drugs division.
