Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors constitute a class of medications used in diabetes management. They function by impeding the intestine's absorption of carbohydrates, particularly beneficial for individuals with impaired glucose tolerance to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus. These inhibitors offer advantages for those at risk of hypoglycemia or lactic acidosis.
The primary applications of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors include addressing dumping syndrome and managing type 2 diabetes. Dumping syndrome encompasses symptoms resulting from swift gastric emptying after meals, leading to a rapid passage of food from the stomach to the duodenum. This acceleration increases sugar levels, and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors play a crucial role in slowing down food digestion, thereby reducing peak blood glucose concentrations post meals. Notable drug classes in this category include acarbose, miglitol, and voglibose, comprising constituents such as glucoamylase, isomaltase, maltase, and sucrase. These medications are distributed through various channels, including online pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and hospital pharmacies.
The alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market statistics, including alpha-glucosidase inhibitors industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market share, detailed alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors industry. This alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The alpha glucosidase inhibitors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.52 billion in 2024 to $4.89 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased incidence of diabetes, growth in awareness of diabetes management, advancements in diabetes treatment strategies, preference for oral antidiabetic medications, clinical research and evidence-based medicine
The alpha glucosidase inhibitors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.61 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing emphasis on early intervention, rising geriatric population, global healthcare initiatives for diabetes control, integration into combination therapies. Major trends in the forecast period include patient-centric approaches, focus on type 2 diabetes management, technological advancements in drug delivery, emerging markets and globalization, collaborations and partnerships.
The escalating global prevalence of diabetes is anticipated to significantly drive the expansion of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market in the foreseeable future. Diabetes, a chronic metabolic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, poses severe risks to various bodily systems, including the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors function by impeding carbohydrate absorption in the small intestine, effectively curbing the surge in postprandial blood glucose levels and aiding in diabetes management. For instance, data from the International Diabetes Federation in November 2022 reported that globally, 537 million adults (equating to 1 in 10 individuals) were afflicted by diabetes. Additionally, projections indicate an anticipated increase in global diabetes prevalence, reaching 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045. Hence, the mounting global incidence of diabetes stands as a key driver fueling the expansion of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market.
The expanding demographic shift towards an aging population is anticipated to be a significant catalyst propelling the growth of the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market. The term 'aging population' signifies a demographic trend characterized by an increasing proportion of elderly individuals within a society or populace. This demographic segment frequently utilizes alpha-glucosidase inhibitors to regulate and manage blood glucose levels, as these medications aid in slowing carbohydrate absorption, offering effective diabetes management-a condition prevalent among older individuals. For instance, data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in October 2022 highlighted a swift rise in the global population of individuals aged 60 years and older, projected to double by 2050, reaching an estimated 2.1 billion individuals. Consequently, the burgeoning aging population serves as a significant driver in fostering growth within the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market.
A burgeoning trend within the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market revolves around robust product innovation. Major players in this domain are fervently engaged in pioneering novel products to fortify their market stance. A striking example of this trend emerged in January 2023 when TheracosBio, a distinguished pharmaceutical entity based in the United States, garnered approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Brenzavvy (bexagliflozin). This innovative oral medication operates as an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), specifically tailored for adults grappling with type 2 diabetes. Brenzavvy stands as an adjunct to dietary and exercise regimens, functioning by prompting the kidneys to expel sugar through urine, thereby aiding individuals with type 2 diabetes in effectively managing their blood sugar levels.
Strategic product advancements remains a pivotal strategy adopted by major contenders within the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors market. These companies are diligently crafting inventive solutions such as acarbose tablets to fortify their market foothold. Notably, acarbose stands as an established alpha-glucosidase inhibitor instrumental in the management of type-2 diabetes. In March 2022, Shandong Lukang Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., an esteemed pharmaceutical entity headquartered in China, unveiled its acarbose tablet in the targeted market. Designed to complement dietary control and exercise programs, these tablets offer significant benefits for individuals coping with type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, they aid in curbing postprandial blood glucose levels in patients afflicted with impaired glucose tolerance, serving as a pivotal addition to the array of treatments available for such conditions.
In April 2023, the pharmaceutical company Sanofi S.A., based in France, successfully acquired Provention Bio Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move is aimed at broadening Sanofi's diabetes drug portfolio by incorporating TZIELD (teplizumab-mzwv), an innovative and fully owned first-in-class therapy designed for type 1 diabetes. Provention Bio Inc., based in the United States, is recognized for its expertise in the development of diabetes drugs.
