Diabetes Supplement Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)
Global Diabetes Supplements Market is anticipated to grow with an elevated CAGR of around 4% over the forecast period (2021-2027). Diabetes, also known as diabetes mellitus, is a metabolic disorder that causes hyperglycemia. Hormones known as insulin are responsible to move sugar from the blood to cells, where it is stored and used to fuel the body. In the case of diabetes, the body cannot produce enough insulin or use the produced insulin effectively. The two main types of diabetes are type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, but in people with type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin. Dietary supplements are ingredients designed to improve a person's diet and contain vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, metabolites, and other substances. These supplements are used to lower blood sugar levels, improve cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and cause neuropathy, insulin resistance, and other complications in diabetics.
The growing adoption of diabetes supplements can be attributed to the rising prevalence of various cases of diabetes coupled with a rapidly growing geriatric population. According to the United Nations, the 60+ aged population was 962 million in 2017 which is more than twice that it was in 1980 at 382 million. The number of elderly is expected to double again by 2050 and reach nearly 2.1 billion worldwide. For instance, as per CDC, 1.6 million adults aged 20 years or older, or 5.7% of all US adults have been diagnosed with diabetes. Thereby, boosting the diabetes supplements market globally.
Furthermore, the diabetes supplements market is anticipated to grow on account of the growing awareness of nutraceuticals, a large number of ongoing research activities in this field, rising government and public-private investments, and various advantages associated with the diabetes supplements such as controlling blood sugar, prevent diabetes-related complications, and reduce resistance to insulin. However, some of the restraints in the market including stringent regulatory framework and a rise in the cost of ingredient development are impeding the growth of this market all over the world. Novo Nordisk, Nestle Health Science, Danone Nutricia, NaturoGain, Nature's Bounty, Glucose Health, Inc, Unilever, Bionova Lifesciences, Caelus Health, and Abbott Laboratories are some of the prominent players operating in the diabetes supplements market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with diabetes supplements.
