Opportunity Analyzer: Diabetic Foot Ulcers – Opportunity Analysis and Forecast to 2025

Powered by

All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

GlobalData estimates sales of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and diabetic foot infection (DFI) drugs to be approximately $292.1M across the 7MM in 2015, encompassing the US, 5EU, and Japan. DFU sales alone accounting for $118.7M across the 7MM. The DFU, DFI market will grow at a CAGR of 11.6% over the forecast period, reaching sales of $873.4M by 2025. The US is the largest market for DFU, DFI therapies, contributing approximately 62% of total sales in the base year. GlobalData expects the uptake a novel wound healing therapy (FirstString's Granexin) to be the strongest driver of growth in the DFU market in the 7MM, reaching sales of $570.3M in 2025. Despite the anticipated launch of Granexin, there is ample opportunity for pipeline drugs targeting the subset of DFUs that are ischemic. Difficulty of successfully developing a DFU or DFI candidate is expected to be the strongest barrier. There have been multiple Phase III DFU and DFI clinical trial terminations in the past five years alone (mainly due to trials failing to meet primary endpoints), leaving the market void of any new DFU drugs for almost two decades.

Scope

Overview of DFUs and DFIs, including epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment guidelines.

Annualized DFU therapeutics market revenue, annual cost of therapy and treatment usage pattern data from 2015 and forecast for ten years to 2025.

Key topics covered include strategic competitor assessment, market characterization, unmet needs, clinical trial mapping and implications for the DFU and DFI therapeutics market.

Pipeline analysis: comprehensive data split across different phases, emerging novel trends under development, and detailed analysis of late-stage pipeline drugs.

Analysis of the current and future market competition in the global DFU and DFI therapeutics market. Insightful review of the key industry drivers, restraints and challenges. Each trend is independently researched to provide qualitative analysis of its implications.

Key Highlights

In addition to standard of care (SOC), Regranex and Fiblast have been the only wound healing pharmacological drugs used to treat DFUs in the US and Japan respectively. The efficacy of these agents is disputed among KOLs, with the majority of experts expressing dissatisfaction with these limited options. Therefore, there is a considerable need for additional therapies within the indication. What are the other main unmet needs in this market?

The current late-stage DFU pipeline encompasses one novel synthetic bioactive peptide, FirstString’s Granexin, which binds the ZO1 protein, and stabilizes connexin 43 gap junctions to reduce excessive inflammation and promote normal tissue regeneration. Will Granexin make a significant impact on the DFU market?

There continues to be an increase in DFU diagnosed prevalence across the 7MM over the past 10 years. How will epidemiological changes impact the growth of the future market? Overall, which of the major markets is the most lucrative within the DFU space?

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
