Brighter AB (publ) has developed estimates of segment size and ideal target markets for the company's diabetes solution Actiste® Diabetes Management as a Service for 14 markets.

"These 14 markets are examples of potential target markets for us to penetrate. We weighed in barriers to entry, the size of the market, healthcare structure and how fast diabetes is spreading in the region. Seven of the 14 countries are featured on the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) list of the worlds top10 countries with the highest number of people diagnosed with diabetes, and 6 of them are expected to be on IDF's top list of worst-hit countries in 2045," says Brighter's CEO and founder Truls Sjöstedt.

Diabetes is one of the world's 10 most common causes of death and the number of patients is rapidly increasing worldwide, often in conjunction with fast economic growth in a region. The cost of treating diabetes is high and rises steadily. According to IDF, diabetes treatment was over $ 727 billion in 2017, an increase of 8% compared to 2015. One of the most important drivers for modernizing diabetes therapy is therefore to help patients to better manage their own treatment and to stimulate them to live healthy.

"Markets like the USA are mainly driven by financial concerns, as their healthcare costs need to be reduced. In the US, the health care costs now account for more than 17% of its GDP. Other markets are driven by geopolitical conditions and lack of "modern" health infrastructure, and those markets tend to view Brighter and Actiste as an opportunity to build a digital, cost efficient, secure and decentralized healthcare platform. This allows Brighter to develop different marketing strategies for individual markets and regions. Some markets will be penetrated with partners, others with Brighter’s own sales force, and others through healthcare providers," says Truls Sjöstedt.

The 14 markets are shown in the table below. The target market vision indicates the estimated number of subscriptions of Actiste that is achievable, assuming market penetration within the segment reaches 30% within 5 years from market launch, in each respective market.
