Introduction
Due to an increasing incidence of type 1 diabetes in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK and a steady incidence in the United States, which still has a growing population of children and adolescents, there will be an increase in the number of cases of type 1 diabetes in the seven major markets (US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK over the next ten years.

Highlights
Type 1 diabetes is a metabolic disorder which can cause serious illness and death if not managed properly with insulin administration. The only risk factor shown to be significantly associated with the risk of type 1 diabetes is genetics and several genes have been linked to the risk.Datamonitor estimates that there will be a marginal increase or steady incidence of cases of type 1 diabetes in the seven major markets (US, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK) between 2010 and 2020.Datamonitor estimates that there are approximately 2.7 million prevalent cases of type 1 diabetes mellitus in those aged under 80 in the year 2010.
