SGLT Inhibitors Market: Competitive Landscape, Pipeline, and Market Analysis 2023
Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter (SGLT) is a member of the family of glucose transporters found in the human body. These play a significant function in reabsorbing glucose from the part in which they are present, depending upon the type of SGLT present. There are 2 types of SGLT present depending upon the location: SGLT-1 and SGLT-2. SGLT-1 is present in the brush border epithelium lined by the enterocytes, where it is responsible for glucose reabsorption from the intestine. SGLT-2 is present in the renal cortex, which absorbs glucose from the glomerular filtrate in the early and middle segments of the Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT). These cotransporters play a significant role by regulating the glucose level in the body, hence, are a good target for drugs that aim to lower the blood glucose level in the body by indirect action, i.e., prevent absorption and increase excretion of glucose. Research is being conducted globally to discover new and novel molecules to be used as Anti-Diabetic agents. The development and launch of new products will thus increase the revenue of the market in the forecasted years. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation, in 2021, approximately 537 million people in the age bracket of 20-79 years globally are suffering from diabetes and counting. So, there is a huge market for the players to launch their products in the market in the near future.
A number of SGLT-1 inhibitors are on the market, while many are in ongoing clinical trials. 12 companies have various SGLT-1 inhibitors in their pipelines, with 8 products in various stages of clinical trials, 1 product in Phase 4, 1 product in Phase 3, 4 products in Phase 2, and 2 products in Phase 1 of the clinical trials. Moreover, 42 companies have various SGLT-2 Inhibitors in their pipelines, with 43 products in various stages of clinical trials, 17 products in Phase 4, 5 products in Phase 3, 4 products in Phase 2, and 12 products in Phase 1 of the clinical trials.
