Introduction to Ready-To-Use Insulin Market
Insulin is a hormone produced by the body in order to control the blood sugar levels. It maintains a low blood sugar by preventing accumulation of glucose in the blood. However, sometimes the body might lose the ability to produce insulin on its own. In such cases, insulin is required from an external source which is given to the patient in the form of intravenous infusions.
The condition caused due to a deficiency of insulin in the body is known as diabetes. Insulin is given to both adults and children suffering from diabetes by injecting the hormone directly into the bloodstream through the veins. Injecting insulin in this manner can be made safer for the patients if the concentration of insulin as well as the quantity is standardized, which reduces the medication errors.
Ready to use insulin for IV infusion provides a consistent and equal dosage of insulin to the patients with every administration, ensuring a faster delivery than alternate methods. It is provided in an urgent medical condition under medical supervision. The ready-to-use insulin can have a shelf life of a month under room temperature and up to 2 years when refrigerated. The longer shelf life of ready-to-use insulin allows it to be easily stored and used as per convenience.
Market Size and Forecast
The market for ready-to-use insulin for IV infusion is mainly driven by the growing number of incidences of diabetes among people of all age groups. Unhealthy dietary habits leading to obesity is another factor which is contributing to the growth of the market.
The ready-to-use insulin for intra venous (IV) infusion market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027. The market is segmented by end user into hospitals, home care and others, out of which, the home care segment is anticipated to hold leading share in the market on account of high prevalence of diabetes among people, mainly those belonging to the older age groups and their preference towards home care.
