As the second largest economy of the world, China enjoys pink of health but its affluence is giving rise to another sickness- a rapid increase in a life-style disease called diabetes. With the Chinese Population getting richer, fatter and less mobile, there has been a surge in the prevalence of diabetes. Further fuelled by rising disposable incomes, the diabetes market- Non-Insulin Anti-diabetics and Insulin, is expanding by more than 25% percent a year, and thus creating lucrative opportunities for global pharmaceutical companies at a time when rates in the more developed markets have declined.

China’s diabetes market grew at CAGR of 26% in the last five years with sales touching US$ 642 Million in 2009. In a country with around 10% of the total population being above 65 years of age, nearly 100 Million people obese and overweight, and with urbanization rates in an increasing mode, we expect the market to more than quadruple vis-à-vis its present level by 2015.
