DUBLIN, May 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Insulin Market in the US and Europe 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The insulin market in the US and Europe to grow at a CAGR of 6.17% during the period 2016-2020

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the insulin market in the US and Europe for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the sales of drugs that are expected to be launched into the market along with the decline in revenues from the patent expiries of the branded drugs during the forecast period. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

A trend to note is the rising prices of insulin drugs. Apart from safety and efficacy, the cost of therapy plays a major role in deciding the number of consumers. The cost-effectiveness of a treatment needs to be analyzed while prescribing a therapy. However, due to the lack of alternative therapies, drugs like insulin are the standard treatment options despite their high cost. The insulin market in the US and Europe is expected to grow based on the rising prices of insulin analogs.

According to the report, a key growth driver is the advances in insulin delivery technology. The development of innovative insulin products and advances in insulin delivery technology have increased the life expectancy of individuals with diabetes. Automated injection devices such as insulin pumps and pens offers a safe and easy drug delivery option, increasing their demand in the market. For instance, NovoPen and FlexTouch by Novo Nordisk are the latest developments in durable insulin delivery devices.

Further, the report states that one challenge that could have an adverse impact on market growth is the complexity of the insulin production process.
