The projection indicates an alarming rise in diabetes numbers from 2024 to 2050. This is specifically for the population aged between 20 to 79. This increase is expected in the next two and a half decades. The data for this article is sourced from International Diabetes Federation.

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder in which the body can’t properly regulate the blood sugar (glucose) levels. It occurs either because the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin or the body’s cell do not respond effectively to insulin.
Alarming Rise In Diabetes Numbers Worldwide: From 2024 to 2050 (P)
In 2024, diabetes remains a major global health challenge, especially among adults aged between 20 and 79 years. Over 588 million adults have diabetes globally. This is around 11% of the total world population in this age. The diabetic population in 2050 is expected to grow dramatically, estimated to be around 852 million. In number terms, around 260 million extra patients will be there in 2050. This would be around 13% of total of world population in this age. This would be largely driven by population growth, aging, urbanization and sedentary lifestyle.
Major Countries with Diabetic Population
- China: China is leading country in overall diabetic population. In 2050 the diabetic population is projected to be around 168 million from 148 million in 2024. The growth rate of the diabetic population is getting slower. However, it is still projected to be the largest country with diabetic patients in 2050.
- India: India’s diabetes burden is expected to increase significantly. It is projected to rise by around 75%. The number of cases will grow from 90 million in 2024 to 157 million in 2050.India is expected to come closer to China in diabetic patients due to younger and growing population.
- USA: The USA is expected to witness a moderate rise from 39 million to 43 million by 2050. This indicates better disease management and prevention efforts.
- Pakistan: Pakistan diabetes population is expected to get double in 2050 from 2024. This is largely attributed to limited health care access, poor screening and high obesity rates.
