REPORT DESCRIPTION
Insulin Market – Overview
The demand for insulin production is increasing to meet the treatment demand of the rising number of
diabetic patients relying on insulin. This has led to increasing competition among market players to
develop new insulin drugs in the market.
Insulin helps in promoting protein synthesis, glycogenesis, and glycolysis and in uptake of various ions.
Earlier, insulin was isolated from sheep, and pigs, but later on, genetically modifying bacterial cells are also
used to produce human insulin. Current treatment relies on developing commercial human insulin by
recombinant DNA technology.
