The global SGLT2 inhibitors market size is anticipated to reach USD 29.43 billion by 2030 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.71% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The recommendations and supportive guidelines from major health organizations, such as the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the European Association of for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and others have endorsed sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for them beyond glucose control. For instance, in August 2023, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has issued a focused update to their heart failure guidelines, integrating findings from nearly a dozen new clinical trials since 2021, such as EMPEROR-Preserved, DELIVER, STRONG-HF, and IRONMAN. Released at the ESC Congress 2023, the updated guidelines introduce new recommendations for the use of SGLT2 inhibitors in treating patients with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF).
In addition, the growing number of patients needing dialysis over the next few years showcased high demand of medicines such as SGLT2 inhibitors for treatment of CKD patients. In November 2023, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has issued draft guidance recommending the use of empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Empagliflozin has demonstrated efficacy in slowing the progression to kidney failure and reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. NICE recommends making this treatment available to patients across all stages of CKD. Such recommendations from drug regulatory agencies are expected to boost demand for drugs during the forecast period.
The elder adults are more prone to type 2 diabetes and heart failure, conditions where drugs have shown substantial benefits. This demographic shift increases the demand for effective treatments such as SGLT2 inhibitors. SGLT2 inhibitors are beneficial in reducing cardiovascular and renal risks, which are particularly prevalent in the elderly. This advantage makes these medications a preferred choice for older patients. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2022, around 1.4 billion people were aged 60 years and over, which was raised from 1 billion in 2020. In addition, WHO estimates that the elderly population is expected to reach 2.1 billion. Thus, rising geriatric population is expected to boost demand for SGLT2 inhibitors worldwide and drive market growth.
Increasing awareness of diabetes and significance of SGLT2 inhibitors in treatment among both patients and healthcare providers contribute to higher prescription rates. For instance, in 2021, the WHO launched initiative "Global Diabetes Compact" to raise awareness and improve patient access to diabetic medicine including SGLT2 inhibitors and insulin. Such initiatives are expected to boost adoption of SGLT2 inhibitors and open new opportunities in the market over the forecast period.
