Type 2 Diabetes – Geographic Focus: China – Type 2 Diabetes – China In-Depth (China)

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains one of the biggest public health concerns in China, where the disease’s prevalence is globally the highest. Biguanides and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors continue to dominate the market, but the use of SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 and GIP / GLP-1 receptor agonists in earlier lines of therapy is increasing. The GLP-1 and GIP / GLP-1 receptor agonists combine superior glucose-lowering and weight-loss capabilities in once-weekly and oral formulations, making them very appealing to both patients and physicians. The T2D pipeline mainly comprises drugs from established drug classes, such as DPP-IV inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and rapid-acting insulins. We anticipate that the launch of late-phase therapies with more-convenient dosing options will further drive market growth over the 2023-2033 forecast period. In this report, we explore how unmet needs, pricing, coverage, and regulatory reforms in China will impact the success of current and future players in this highly lucrative market.
