The Philippines Diabetes Care Drugs Market size is estimated at USD 264.24 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 319.95 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
COVID-19 is a novel sickness caused by a SARS-CoV-2 virus strain. Most people infected with the virus will develop mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without special treatment. The aged and those suffering from underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, lung disease, obesity, and cancer are at a higher risk of developing serious diseases. The virus infiltrates several cells in the body, including the heart and lungs, causing inflammatory changes that cause inflammation and multi-organ damage. Diabetes and systemic inflammation have been connected. According to studies, diabetes patients exhibited higher virus entry, a decreased immune response, less viral clearance, and dysregulated inflammatory markers.
Diabetes patients may be at the same risk of contracting COVID-19 as people who do not have diabetes. People with diabetes, on the other hand, have a higher risk of hospitalization, ICU admissions, severe sequelae, and mortality after getting COVID-19 due to the disease's essential features.
In terms of medicines, the insulin category commands a sizable market share. Over 100 million people worldwide use insulin, including all persons with Type 1 diabetes and 10% to 25% of people with Type 2 diabetes. Insulin production is extremely sophisticated, and only a few insulin manufacturers are on the market. As a result, there is fierce rivalry among these producers, who continually strive to satisfy patients' demands by providing the highest-quality insulin.
Diabetes care is restricted in the Philippines due to insufficient resources, government help, and economics. Regarding prevention, the national insurance system does not cover complete diabetic care, and private insurance companies only give limited diabetes coverage. As a result, most patients are forced to pay for "out-of-pocket" expenses such as laboratory tests and daily medications.
Insulin therapy is the most potent hypoglycaemic medication currently available for diabetes treatment; however, the potency of insulin deteriorates if it is stored under improper conditions. In Thailand, NCDs, including diabetes, account for more than 70% of all deaths. Obesity leads to a more than seven times increase in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, while being overweight increases the risk by three times.
Through the Philippines government's encouragement, the usage of Management Devices increased over the forecast period.
Significant barriers to health care exist in the Philippines, including limited health finance, which leads to high out-of-pocket payments and a fragmented referral system from general care to specialized care units. Due to budgetary constraints resulting from the economic slump and major supply shortages, access to diabetic devices became an even greater difficulty for the Philippines during the COVID-19 outbreak. Identifying and removing these roadblocks is crucial to fixing the country's insulin and diabetes treatment access problem.
Millions of people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) lack access to insulin and regular diabetes care. The Philippines, a lower-middle-income Southeast Asian country with more than 4 million diabetic adults, is no stranger to this problem.
Thus, the above factors are expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.

Increasing Diabetes population in Thailand
Diabetes is a complex disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels caused by impaired insulin synthesis and action. Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Diabetes, if left unchecked, can lead to a heart attack, stroke, leg amputation, blindness, and renal failure. Prediabetes affects around 14.2% of the population, according to DOST-FNRI statistics. One in every five Filipinos has abnormal glucose levels when diabetes and prediabetes are combined.Significant barriers to health care exist in the Philippines, including limited health finance, which leads to high out-of-pocket payments and a fragmented referral system from general care to specialized care units.
