The Opportunity
The article reveals that underserved populations in tier-2 and tier-3 cities struggle to access affordable insulin pens at predictable prices. Biocon is partnering with Civica to distribute insulin pens under the CalRx brand in California at transparent pricing — the same model can be replicated in India where millions of diabetics cannot afford or access quality insulin delivery devices.
Market Size₹800 Cr addressable market annually — India has 77 million diabetics, 40% need insulin therapy but only 15% have access to affordable pens
