Middle East and Africa Diabetes Devices Market - 2024 - 2031

Report Overview

Middle East and Africa Diabetes Devices Market reached US$ 1.44 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 2.77 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a chronically high blood sugar level. Common symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. Diabetes, if untreated, may cause an array of health problems.

Acute consequences include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemia, and death. Long-term risks include cardiovascular illness, stroke, chronic kidney disease, foot ulcers, nerve damage, eye damage, and cognitive impairment. Diabetes devices are used to monitor and manage the disease symptoms and are useful for estimating the onset of the adverse effects of the disease.

Market Dynamics: Drivers & Restraints

Growing awareness among individuals

The growing awareness of disease care is driving the Middle East and Africa market. With the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, there is a rise in demand, resulting in market expansion.

Diabetes management courses and campaigns will help improve health literacy by allowing users to comprehend different tests and equipment. As a result, improving health literacy will assist developing markets such as MEA in positioning themselves for success in the diabetes care devices market.

With the growing prevalence of diabetes in the regions, there is a growing demand for diabetes devices to manage and measure glucose levels which is crucial for treating diabetes. The World Health Organization stated that more than half (54%) of people living with diabetes in the African region are undiagnosed.

Initiating awareness among the individuals in the region by governments could help in increasing the demand for diabetes devices. For instance, Saudi schools, hospitals, and universities are marking World Diabetes Day on November 14 with education campaigns on the disease's health risks and its potential to kill.

High costs associated with diabetes devices

Diabetic devices such as continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) and insulin pumps, are costly and cannot be afforded by many individuals. For individuals, particularly those without insurance or in areas with limited resources for healthcare, high expenses can be challenging. Thus, the high costs of these devices could hamper the market growth.

Market Segment Analysis

The Middle East and Africa diabetes devices market is segmented based on device type, and distribution channel.

Blood glucose monitoring (BGM) devices segment is expected to dominate the market share

Blood glucose monitoring (BGM) devices hold a major portion of the market share and are expected to continue throughout the forecast period. This is due to the increasing technological advancements in the devices and the increasing number of launches of the devices. The increasing patient pool of diabetes in the region also plays a dominant role in holding the segment in a significant position in the market share.

Medical device manufacturing companies are introducing advanced devices that are accurate and efficient. For instance, GulfDrug LLC (Gulf Drug) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) officially announced the launch of its tubeless, wearable, and disposable insulin pump "EOPatch" in the UAE. It becomes possible in the UAE to control and manage insulin infusions with EOPatch directly from Android and iOS smartphones using the brand-new Narsha app.

Additionally, on Aug. 17, 2023, Nemaura Medical, Inc. received SFDA (Saudi Food and Drug Authority) approval for sugarBEAT, its non-invasive wearable glucose sensor.
