(1888PressRelease) September 20, 2010 - With around 51 Million diabetes patients, India promises to be amongst the most lucrative diabetes markets in the world. In 2009, the total sales of Insulin and Non-Insulin Anti-diabetics reached US$ 424 Million. Although, this represents just a fraction of the global sales, IMARC expects this market to surge in the future.

In 2009, Non-Insulin Anti-diabetics occupied 72% of the total diabetes market. Biguanides represented the leading drug class with a 43% market share. In the next five years, IMARC expects newer classes such as DPP-IV Inhibitors and GLP-1 Agonists to drive the Non-Insulin Anti-diabetics market. From a market share of 6% in 2009, IMARC expects DPP-IV Inhibitors to occupy 17% of the total Non-Insulin Anti-diabetics market by 2015.

Unlike Non-Insulin's, the Insulin market in India was concentrated with the top five players occupying 96% of the total market. The Insulin market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25% between 2010 and 2015, registering sales worth US$448 Million. During the next five years, the main drivers of this market will be the growth in the total drug treated population coupled with a much improved access and administration of Insulin.
