Insulin glargine is a long-acting, synthetic version of human insulin. It belongs to a drug class called long-acting insulins. It is a form of medical insulin used to manage type I and type II diabetes. Like other types of insulin, insulin glargine is used to keep blood sugar level close to normal. It works by replacing the insulin that is produced by the body and by helping move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for the energy. Insulin glargine is FDA approved to treat adults and children with type 1 diabetes and adults with type 2 diabetes. Thus, there is an increase in demand for insulin glargine worldwide.
Market Dynamics:
Increase in prevalence of diabetes, growing geriatric population, increase in number of clinical trials, increase in research and development, and increase in awareness among people are some major factors expected to aid in the growth of the global insulin glargine market.
In January 2022, FDA announced its approval of Rezvoglar (insulin glargine-aglr), a new long-acting basal insulin, for adults and children with type 1 diabetes and adults with type 2 diabetes. Rezvoglar was approved as a biosimilar to Sanofi's Lantus (insulin glargine).
In December 2021, FDA approved a second insulin glargine biosimilar, an Eli Lilly product called Rezvoglar, which references Lantus.
In June 2020, Biocon and Mylan got the U.S. food and drug administration nod to launch for its insulin glargine injection in vial and pre-filled pen presentations, to control high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes and adult and pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes.
