Insulin API refers to the biologically active substance used as the primary component in the manufacturing of insulin-based medications. It is produced through recombinant DNA technology using genetically engineered microorganisms such as E. coli or yeast. The insulin API can be formulated into various insulin types, including short-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting insulin analogs, which are critical for the management of diabetes mellitus.In 2024, global Insulin API production reached approximately 55.83 mt, with an average global market price of around US$ 51 per g.
Insulin is used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and therefore cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). It is also used to treat people with type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in blood) who need insulin to control their diabetes. Nowadays, Insulin as an important drug is widely used to treat diabetes.
The insulin API market is primarily driven by the rising global prevalence of diabetes, particularly Type 2 diabetes, fueled by aging populations, sedentary lifestyles, and unhealthy diets. As more patients are diagnosed, the demand for insulin-based therapies continues to increase, especially in developing regions where access to treatment is expanding. Additionally, advancements in recombinant DNA technology and biosimilar development have enabled cost-effective and large-scale production of insulin APIs, supporting broader market growth and the entry of new players.
Despite strong demand, the insulin API market faces significant challenges, including high manufacturing complexity and stringent regulatory requirements for biologics. The production of insulin APIs involves advanced biotechnological processes, requiring substantial capital investment, skilled labor, and rigorous quality control, which can limit the participation of smaller companies. Moreover, market consolidation among a few major suppliers and pricing pressure from government cost-control policies in many countries pose hurdles for newer entrants and reduce profit margins for manufacturers.
