Market Overview
The oral insulin therapies market is expected to grow at a CAGR of x% during the period 2018-2026. Diabetes ranks among the fast-growing chronic diseases in the United States. The prevailing cases of diabetes are mainly due to the rise in obesity levels, which is mainly because of their sedentary lifestyles, physical inactivities, unhealthy eating habits, and an increasingly aging population. Several companies across the globe are working for creating effective oral insulin delivery systems, and many major pharmaceutical companies are at the lead of the research and development stage. It is one of a holy grail of medical innovation. An oral form of insulin is going to make insulin therapy less complicated, and surely increases the rate at which insulin users abide with the insulin therapy schedule.
Postliminary 90 years of research on oral insulin, their commercial availability seems to be still distant. The obstacles present in the production of oral insulin in 1922-1923 has not been overcome completely still now. Oral insulin is designed explicitly for enteral absorption and is totally different from conventional insulin that uses the intravenous or subcutaneous route. Hence, oral insulin will take the route that would be of non-invasive nature but is still being investigated. Oral insulin development in 2014 is challenging due to the fact that 6 out of a total of 13 companies are claiming for the clinical development of oral insulin. Currently, they are passing through novel clinical trials.
Oramed had made a capsule that uses Protein Oral Delivery (POD) technology. Oramed formulation, ORMID-0801 has passed through testing till 2010 October. In 2013 Oramed has passed two more phases of II phase in both type 1 and 2 diabetes. There was a set final trial of phase II by the FDA in late 2017. After the trials success now there will be final trials of Oramed oral insulin in 2019-2020, ahead of registration that will bring the oral treatment in the market. Sotagliflozin is also currently in phase 3 trials for type 2 diabetes, and if sotagliflozin is approved, it would be the first oral insulin treatment to treat type 1 diabetes on the market.
The market growth is propelled by increasing incidences of diabetes, the rise in geriatric population, growing the obese population, propagation of Diabetes management awareness and government impetus. Better accessibility to treatment therapies and the presence of favorable reimbursement programs will result in the high turnout of patients opting for diabetes treatment. This will, in turn, fuel the growth of the insulin market size during the next few years.
