Glucagon Market

Glucagon Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Product Type (Injectable and Nasal), by Application (Emergency Kits, General Use, Diagnostics & Motility, and Others), and by Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacies, Retail Pharmacies, and Online Pharmacies) Forecast Period (2022-2028)
    Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030   

Published: Jul 2023 | Report Code: OMR2027185 | Category : Healthcare Information Technology | Delivery Format: /

Glucagon market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. Owing to the increasing incidence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and others along with the rising number of out-patients concerned with diabetes is the primary factor bolstering the growth of the market across the globe. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 422 million out of the global population are diagnosed with diabetes. Such a rising diabetic population will further propel the growth of the market, as glucagon is a type of hormone that assists the pancreas to regulate blood glucose levels. However, a lack of awareness among consumers and stringent government regulation related to product approval are some factors restraining the market growth.

Segmental Outlook 

The global glucagon market is segmented based on product type, application, and distribution channel. Based on the product type, the market is sub-segmented into injectable and nasal. Based on the application, the glucagon market is sub-segmented into emergency kits, general use, diagnostics & motility, and others. Based on the distribution channel, the market is augmented into hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. Among the distribution channel, hospital pharmacies are anticipated to hold a prominent market share, as glucagon is widely used as a prescribed treatment by healthcare professionals.

Among the product type, injectable glucagon is expected to hold a prominent share of the market, owing to the rising usage of end-user applications. Injectable glucagon is used to treat severe hypoglycemia and for diagnostics purposes. Thus, the growing incidence of hypoglycemia along with the lack of awareness about the disease is the major factor boosting the use of the injectable glucagon segment. In addition, the key market players are also focusing on developing new injectable glucagon to fulfill the unmet requirements. For instance, in March 2021, Zealand Pharma, a Denmark-Based pharmaceutical organization developed Zegalogue. Zealogue is an easy-to-use glucagon pen, which is sold as both an auto-injector and prefilled syringe. On the contrary, nasal glucagon is anticipated to dominate the market, due to its growing use in emergency cases.

Regional Outlooks

The global glucagon market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, North America is projected to cater to a prominent share of the global glucagon market. On the other hand, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the expiration of patents of leading drugs.

Global Glucagon Market Growth, by Region 2022-2028

Global Glucagon Market Growth, by Region

North America is Anticipated to Hold a Prominent Share of the Global Glucagon Market

Among all regions, North America is projected to hold a prominent share of the global glucagon market, owing to the strong presence of key market players across the region. In countries including the US and Canada, the availability of glucagon injectables coupled with the growing geriatric population is another factor propelling the regional market growth. According to the reports published by the United Nations (UN) in 2021, the total geriatric population of the US will increase to 16.0% by 2050, from 9.3% in 2020. Owing to the combined effect of impaired pancreatic functions and rising insulin resistance with aging, the elderly population is more likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Such factors are responsible for the higher growth of the market across the region. As glucagon is a hormone developed by the pancreas that raises blood sugar levels, however, a manmade version is used as a medicine to treat diabetes.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global glucagon market include Amgen Inc., Pfizer, Inc., Lilly USA, LLC, Xeris Biopharma Holdings, Inc., and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. Key players are investing in research and development to further grow the business. For instance, in December 2021, Xeris Biopharma, Inc. along with its commercialized partner Tetris Pharma (Tetris) launched Ogluo. Ogluo is injectable glucagon in the UK. It is a prescription-based treatment used for severe hypoglycemia in adults, adolescents, and children aged 2 years and above with diabetes mellitus.
