The demand for T2DM therapeutics has resulted in a large and competitive market landscape, with a number of drugs competing with one another for different market segments, across multiple lines of therapy.
Since the mid-2000s, a number of new drug classes have entered the market, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors, and sodium–glucose linked transporter-2 inhibitors.
These drug classes have proved to be highly commercially successful.
This has led to a diverse pipeline, with many new molecular target groups that do not exist or are poorly represented in the market.

By GlobalDataThe strong showing of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the pipeline is a result of the success of GLP-1 receptor agonists.
The diversity of the pipeline suggests that a new wave of therapy types may become available to T2DM patients and aid in developing new and more effective treatment regimens.
