Artificial Pancreas Market Analysis, Segments and Value Chain Till 2020

CDC and WHO statistics suggest over 100,000 new cases of Type 1 diabetes occur among teenagers and young adults over the world every year. Globally there are around 347 million people with diabetes of which around 35 million suffer from Type 1 diabetes with an estimated 1.5 million living in United States. The growth in Type 1 diabetes is pegged at around 3%-5% increase in incidence every year. Artificial pancreas is an automated insulin pump that monitors glucose level continuously and release insulin accordingly to keep the level constant. Thus, these devices in essence are not new technology but simply a union of two existing diabetes technologies i.e. continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pumps. These devices are the result of refinement and advancement of insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors along with sophistication of electronics that have become smaller, accurate to micro-levels and miniaturized. In Type 1 diabetes, there is complete absence in creation of insulin and patients have to otherwise constantly juggle monitoring of blood glucose and administering insulin. Manual attention loses perception over a period of time and delays in administering insulin cost dearly to patients. In a person without diabetes, the beta cells in the pancreas make enough insulin, a hormone that helps convert food into energy. They detect blood glucose levels and deliver insulin based on those levels with little risk of the glucose levels ever going dangerously high or low. Artificial pancreas eliminates the need for paying attention to the monitoring and dosage. Once planted on the body they constantly monitor the blood glucose and deliver insulin as needed which frees the patient completely from this task, giving them time for pursuing their routine.

Ongoing SA-BRC research estimates suggest that the US$ 16 billion dollar diabetes care market is split between Type 1 diabetes care that is critical and valued at approximately US$ 5.5 billion in 2014 and Type 2 diabetes care occupying the rest. The market is all set to expand with the introduction of these devices and Medtronic Inc, Dexcom Inc and Johnson & Johnson are currently the leaders in this market. J&J's diabetes division, Animas, launched its latest combo device Animas Vibe in 2014 in Canada. Medtronic claims to have capitalized the US market with the approval of its MiniMed 530G. Tandem Diabetes Care is a focused company with another product t:slim pump, which is also set to be adopted by patients. These devices that deliver both insulin and glucagon can create artificial mimicry that is very close to organic pancreas. In 2011, the FDA began seeking public opinions on creating a regulatory draft on approval of these devices, and with current progress and public acceptance it is expected that Medtronic and J&J who are both seeking an FDA approval for their devices will have a smooth entry into the North American market.

Other internal substitutes such as inhalable insulin Afrezza by MannKind is also a considerable competition to existing and incoming devices. Europe leads the way with the largest market for artificial pancreas, followed by North America. Europe's early approvals have paved the way for market growth. The stringent FDA guidelines and device approval procedures along with the reimbursement regulations have taken a toll on the launch. The devices are expected to gain traction in North America after gaining approvals from 2014-2016. Asia-Pacific countries such as China & India having very large diabetic population will present excellent revenue opportunities for players in coming years. Many experts show concern from a business perspective that device cost and size of target population is still not clearly remunerating the years of research and development along with financial investment put in these technologies till now. This being said, the over 7% growth of insulin delivery devices for past decade is a clear indicator for a market ready to absorb new technology.
