Key Market Trends

Application in Diabetes is expected to Cover a Large Share of the Market

Diabetes is a chronic disorder resulting from insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia and has a high risk of development of complications for the eyes, kidneys, peripheral nerves, heart, and blood vessels. Quick diagnosis and early prevention are critical for the control of the disease status. Traditional biosensors such as glucose meters and glycohemoglobin test kits are widely used in vitro for this purpose because they are the two major indicators directly involved in diabetes diagnosis and long-term management. The market size and huge demand for these tests make it a model disease to develop new approaches to biosensors.

The prevalence of diabetes has increased in Italy over the past few decades. As per a 2017 report by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), in 2016 more than 3.2 million people in Italy has been reported to suffer from diabetes, which accounted for 5.3% of the total population. Moreover, 16.5% among people aged 65 and over suffered from diabetes. These increasing incidence of diabetes is thus expected to increase the demand for early diagnostics tests, which will help the growth of this market.
