Undiagnosed diabetes cases have reached about 40% globally, with developed regions exhibiting similar levels, according to Aging Analytics Agency, a UK-based market intelligence agency focused on longevity analysis and a subsidiary of Deep Knowledge Group.

 

The most concerning statistics are seen in Africa, according to the agency, where 60% of diabetes cases go undiagnosed, followed by South-East Asia at 57%, and the Western Pacific Region at 56%.

 

Despite the prevalence of diagnosed cases, the Diabetes Global Industry Overview 2023 reveals that only 50% of individuals with diabetes have access to licensed healthcare services. This stark disparity highlights the pressing need to improve access to diabetic care on a global scale.

 

The report offers diabetes market analysis and insights into the use of advanced technology in the management of persons with diabetes. Housed within Aging Analytics Agency’s Global Diabetes IT-Platform, the report profiled over 2,800 companies, 1,500 investors and 80 research and development hubs.

 

According to the report, over half of global diabetes industry investors (approximately 52%) are based in the US, totalling 746 investors. The UK and China follow, with around 10% each (76 and 71 investors, respectively).
