Late-stage Patients: Insulin and Derivatives
Globally, 589 million people suffer from diabetes, causing 3.4 million deaths annually. The diabetes drug market approached USD 80 billion in 2025 and is projected to exceed USD 153.4 billion by 2033.
This figure illustrates the evolving market share of existing diabetes medications, showing that small-molecule drugs are growing year over year. Since PS-001 is a small-molecule novel drug, it aligns perfectly with the current trend in diabetes treatment.
- Early-to-mid-stage patients primarily use small-molecule drugs, accounting for 55% of the current diabetes market.
- DPP4 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogs represent a relatively newer category, with their market share continuously growing, currently reaching 30% of the total diabetes drug market.
- Late-stage patients primarily use insulin and insulin analogues, which account for 45% of the diabetes drug market.
Our target market is the growing 30% segment currently addressed by DPP4 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogs.
