Brazil: Regional Differences in Healthcare Access 

The Brazil market for diabetes drugs was valued $0.65bn in 2011. Between 2011 and 2023, the market will grow with a CAGR of 5.1%, reaching $1.18bn by the end of the forecast period.

As with Russia, in Brazil, once diagnosed with diabetes, all supplies and treatment-related costs are provided by the patient. As most of the supplies and treatments are imported, and are at premium prices, this poses a significant problem for those patients who are from rural parts of the country that can not afford the costs associated with the management of their condition. Since 2006, and the introduction of the federal Law No. 11,347, medications and supplies needed for the control and monitoring of diabetes can now be distributed free. However, besides being a large country, the regions of Brazil are different in terms of culture, geography and economics, and more economically developed regions, such as São Paulo and the other Southeast states have easier access to such medicines and education in comparison with other regions of the country. In response to this, in 2011 the president of Brazil reportedly announced plans to provide free medications for everyone suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure, by distributing the medications through a nationwide network of budget pharmacies where many drugs are already sold at a 90% discount. The free medicines will be available to all Brazilians who have a doctor's prescription.

Initiatives to Improve Awareness Gather Pace

One of the key factors that will restrict growth of the diabetes drug market in Brazil is the apparentlong delays in the drug approval process and that patent applications can take up to seven years prior to market approval. However an aging population and growing middle class represent an attractive target market. Furthermore, as the Brazilian economy grows, the country’s pharmaceutical market will continue to experience robust growth, which will attract many foreign players into the region, which is largely open and unrestricted to multinational companies. However, due to the lack of government support in the country, these companies have mostly partnered with local players for the expansion of their services. Another concern for the diabetes drug market in Brazil is the lack of awareness. Indeed, a worrying trend in the country has been that the prevalence of diabetes has outpaced disease awareness. Novartis, the manufacturer of Galvus, sought to raise awareness by creating several communications initiatives to engage multiple stakeholders, including providing comprehensive clinical data to key opinion leaders (KOLs) and physicians, offering product samples to physicians and inviting medical professionals to attend the American Diabetes Association congress in the US, to learn more about the disease and treatment options.
