Asia-Pacific Dipeptide Peptidase 4 (DPP-4) Inhibitors Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Asia-Pacific Dipeptide Peptidase 4 (DPP-4) Inhibitors Market Analysis

The Asia-Pacific Dipeptide Peptidase 4 Inhibitors Market size is estimated at USD 4.30 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 5.18 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.80% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the Asia-Pacific Dipeptide Peptidase 4 (DPP-4) Inhibitors Market. Diabetes and uncontrolled hyperglycemia are risk factors for poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19 including an increased risk of severe illness or death. People with diabetes have a weaker immune system, the COVID-19 complication aggravates the condition, and the immune system gets weaker very fast. In the current crisis, type 2 diabetes patients are at much higher risk.

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are a class of medicine that lower high blood glucose levels and are used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. DPP4 inhibitors increase insulin and GLP-1 secretion and are commonly prescribed for people suffering from type 2 diabetes. The use of DPP4 inhibitors in patients with COVID-19 with or even without type 2 diabetes offers a simple way to reduce the virus entry and replication into the airways and to hamper the sustained cytokine storm and inflammation within the lung in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection.

The COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the need for good glycemic control in patients with diabetes, in large part because most observational studies have reported that poorly controlled diabetes is associated with a higher risk for hospitalization and death from a viral illness. Diabetes mellitus has been of wide concern with its high prevalence, resulting in increased financial burdens for clinical systems, individuals, and governments. The market players are adopting various strategies such as collaborations, partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, and expansions to increase market share. Technological advancements have increased over the period leading to several modifications either in the DPP-4 Inhibitor drugs or the formulations being developed.

Therefore, owing to increased diabetes prevalence and the aforementioned factors the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period.
