MEA Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors Market Analysis
The Middle East and Africa Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors Market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period.
COVID-19 and diabetes have a significant impact on public health in the Middle East and Africa, as well as elsewhere. Diabetes has been linked to an increased risk of fatal infections and severe infections in COVID-19 patients. Because diabetes is one of the most common health problems in the Middle East and Africa, the current study focused on understanding the epidemiology of COVID-19 in diabetics and the strategies put in place by governments to mitigate its impact. In light of the importance and necessity of the epidemic, countries in the Middle East and Africa have implemented a number of preventative and control measures.
The Middle East and African region have witnessed an alarming increase in the prevalence of diabetes, in recent years, the rate of diabetes is at an all-time high, mainly due to lifestyle changes. Diabetes is associated with many health complications. Patients with diabetes require many corrections throughout the day to maintain nominal blood glucose levels, such as administering additional insulin or ingesting additional carbohydrates by monitoring their blood glucose levels. Over the past few decades, african countries have witnessed a rapid increase in diabetes patients, especially those with type 2 diabetes. Developing countries have more than 70% of the global diabetes population. The africans anticipated to experience considerable growth due to a more geriatric population and rising prevalence of diabetes mainly due to the enhanced stress level, sedentary lifestyles, smoking, and excessive consumption of alcohol that elevates the body's sugar levels have led to the growth of the market.
This is driving the demand for Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors Market in Middle-East and Africa, thereby driving the market in focus during the forecast period.
MEA Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors Market Trends
Rising Diabetes Prevalence in Middle East and Africa Region
Type-1 diabetes accounts for approximately 10% of diabetes cases in the Middle East and Africa, while type-2 diabetes accounts for 90%. Type-1 diabetes patients must take insulin for the rest of their lives while also eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Type-2 diabetes patients must eat healthily, stay physically active, and have regular blood glucose tests. They may also need to take oral medication and insulin to keep their blood glucose levels under control. Diabetes has many complications, including diabetic ketoacidosis and nonketotic hyperosmolar coma. Heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, foot ulcers, and eye damage are all serious long-term complications. Despite extensive research on COVID-19, only a few Middle Eastern and African countries focused on the epidemiology of COVID-19 among diabetic patients and its implications. We emphasize the critical importance of conducting a thorough study to fully understand COVID-19 and its relationship to diabetes in order to develop and implement evidence-based initiatives and policies in the Middle East and Africa.
Therefore, owing to the aforesaid factors, the growth of the studied market is anticipated in the Middle East and Africa region.
