Frost & Sullivan will host a live briefing on Wednesday, June 25, at 3:00pm EDT to provide industry participants an overview of a recently published study focusing on the Diabetes Market in Mexico.

Currently, there are more than 10 million diabetics, from which only 20% is following a correct treatment, in Mexico. Population growth and aging are two of the factors that keep increasing the potential for this market. New brands and products have already been introduced into this market so far, splitting the diabetes therapy business in three segments: insulin, anti diabetes drugs and self monitoring accessories. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies face a tough competitive environment to gain public and private healthcare sectors' share. Highlights of the briefing include: main drivers and restraints, as well as the major challenges that both, public and private sectors, will confront.

This briefing is based upon ongoing Healthcare industry analysis and it will benefit everyone involved in the diabetes market: companies which provide any diabetes therapy products, as well as public and private healthcare institutions.

"The diabetes market growth in Mexico is starting to impact on the structure and functioning of the healthcare system. Not only the public healthcare sector, but also the diabetes therapy providers will confront major challenges. However, good opportunities for suppliers will arise as long as they can deal with the competitive environment," reveals María Clark, Research Analyst for Frost & Sullivan.

Frost & Sullivan will hold this live briefing at 2pm CDT / 3:00pm EDT on Wednesday, June 25, 2008, which will provide industry participants an outlook on the Diabetes Market in Mexico.
