The antidiabetics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The antidiabetics market has seen rapid growth in recent years. It will grow from $76.03 billion in 2024 to $84.84 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%.
This expansion is driven by the rising global prevalence of diabetes, advances in drug development, increased awareness and diagnosis, supportive government policies, an aging population, sedentary lifestyles, and rising healthcare costs.
The antidiabetics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The antidiabetics market is projected to grow quickly, reaching $130.12 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 11.3%.
This growth is attributed to the rising prevalence of diabetes, better awareness and diagnosis, increasing healthcare spending, a growing elderly population, and supportive government policies. Trends in the market include the expansion of GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, the growth of biologics and biosimilars, a focus on preventive healthcare, emerging markets, and technological integration.
The rising incidence of lifestyle-related conditions is expected to fuel the growth of the antidiabetics market. Lifestyle-related conditions, such as obesity and metabolic syndrome, are increasing due to poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress. Antidiabetic medications help manage these conditions by improving insulin sensitivity and controlling blood sugar levels. In 2022, the World Health Organization reported that obesity is rising globally, with an estimated 167 million adults and children expected to suffer from the health consequences of obesity by 2025. This trend is driving the antidiabetic market.
