Epidemiology: Diabetes in India - a country faced with a mammoth diabetes epidemic

Introduction

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that worldwide, there are currently 220 million people living with diabetes. Diabetes is becoming an important chronic disease in India. In 2010, 45.5 million individuals had diabetes. By 2020, the number of prevalent diabetes cases will increase to 69.7 million.

Features and benefits

* Gain insight to market potential, including a robust 10-year epidemiology forecast of diabetes prevalent cases.

Highlights

In 2010, there were 45.2 million cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus in India. Of these, 14.7 million and 30.5 million were found in rural and urban areas, respectively. By the end of 2011 and 2020, Datamonitor estimates that the total prevalent cases of type 2 diabetes will increase to 47.2 and 69.7 million, respectively.
The major cities of India (New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Ahmadabad) had an estimated 7.3 million prevalent cases of type 2 diabetes in 2010. In 2010 there were 1.8 million, 1.7 million, and 1.3 million prevalent cases of type 2 diabetes in New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, respectively.
