This market research report analyzes the leading players in the global metabolic disorders therapeutics market such as Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Merck, AstraZeneca, and Eli Lily. This report also presents a detailed segmentation of the market by type of disease (diabetes drugs, obesity drugs, lysosomal storage disease drugs, and hypercholesterolemia drugs) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).
Extensive research carried out by the market research analysts at Technavio has shown that the global metabolic disorders therapeutics market will grow steadily and will post a moderate CAGR of close to 5% over the forecast period. The introduction of patient assistance programs for the treatment of various metabolic disorders is one of the primary factors driving this market’s growth. The leading vendors in the market are providing co-pay assistance to individuals who are purchasing the indicated medications for diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and lysosomal storage diseases. Besides this, many organizations such as the National Gaucher Foundation of Canada, National Gaucher Foundation, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders are also involved in providing financial support to patients to continue with the therapy for rare diseases. Since such assistance programs are mostly provided by drug suppliers, patients show more inclination toward buying branded therapeutics, contributing to the metabolic disorders therapeutics market size in the coming years.
One of the upcoming trends gaining traction in the market is the increasing focus on oral insulin therapies. Till now, insulin injections were mostly administered through subcutaneous tissues, but this route of application is associated with risk of infection and hypersensitivity reactions, emboli, high cost, and injection site pain. Also, several needle-phobic individuals hesitate to adopt this route of administration. This paved the way for extensive research in the development of oral insulin. The oral form of insulin prevents the unpleasantness of insulin injections and other complications associated with the existing therapies. Moreover, oral administration of insulin ensures increased patient comfort and compliance, reduced risk of infection, simpler application, and is cost-effective.
The global metabolic disorders therapeutics market is quite consolidated and dominated by the leading players such as Novo Nordisk and Sanofi. The increasing focus on R&D activities and investments by the market leaders ensure that product innovation is given priority. The vendors are competing to gain maximum metabolic disorders therapeutics market share.
