Industry Overview

Human recombinant insulin is the synthetic insulin, resulted utilizing recombinant DNA technology. The Global Human Recombinant Insulin Market is growing at significant rate, due to mounting occurrence diabetes and mounting need for human insulin analogs. Different product type contributed to the human recombinant insulin market size. The market has witnessed high demand for long acting human insulin in the coming years due to advanced competence and capability to pose constant insulin delivery during the day.

Market Segmentation

Insight by Product Type

The various types of products offered in the market are rapid-acting, long-acting, short-acting, premixed, and intermediate-acting. Of all product type, long-acting human insulin segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the market due to advanced competence and capability to pose constant insulin delivery during the day.

Insight by Brand

On the basis of brand, the market is subdivided into Humalog, Lantus, Novolog, Novorapid, Apidra, Humulin, Novolin, Levemir and others. Of all the brands, the Lantus accounted the foremost share in the human recombinant insulin market. In addition, Levemir and Apidra are expected to grow at fastest rate in the market.

Insight by Distribution Channel

On the basis of distribution channel, the market is subdivided into hospital pharmacies, online pharmacies and retail pharmacies. Among the all distribution channels, the retail pharmacies accounted the largest share in the human recombinant insulin market, as it offers extensive range of diabetic products including over-the-counter and prescription drugs for the diabetic patients.

Insight by Application

On the basis of application, the market is subdivided into type I diabetes and type II diabetes. Type I diabetes accounts for about 5 to 10 percent of the diabetes cases and type II accounts for approximately 90 percent of the diabetic cases. Many patients with type II diabetes are asymptomatic. Among the both applications, the type II diabetes accounted the largest share in the human recombinant insulin market due to mounting incidence of type II diabetes. For instance, according to International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2017, globally approximately 352 million people were at risk of developing type II diabetes.
