Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product Type, Technology, Application, Distribution Channel, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems Market is accounted for $18.02 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $26.74 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. Blood glucose monitoring systems are medical devices designed to measure and monitor the blood glucose levels of individuals with diabetes. These systems typically include glucose meters, testing strips, and lancets for self-testing, as well as continuous glucose monitoring systems that provide real-time glucose readings. Accurate monitoring helps diabetic patients manage their condition by facilitating timely adjustments to medication, diet, and lifestyle.

According to the estimations of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in 2021, around 537 million adults had diabetes and it is projected to reach around 783 million by 2045.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising prevalence of diabetes

The increasing global prevalence of diabetes is a major driver for the blood glucose monitoring systems market. As the number of people diagnosed with diabetes continues to rise, the demand for effective glucose monitoring solutions grows. Regular blood glucose monitoring is crucial for diabetes management, enabling patients to track their glucose levels, make informed decisions about their diet, exercise, and medication, and prevent complications. The rising diabetes burden, coupled with growing awareness about the importance of glucose control, is fueling the adoption of advanced blood glucose monitoring systems.

Restraint:

High cost of devices

These sophisticated devices often come with a premium price tag, which may limit their accessibility and adoption, especially in price-sensitive markets and among patients with limited financial resources. The ongoing expenses related to consumables, such as test strips and sensors, further add to the cost burden. The high upfront costs and recurring expenses may deter some patients and healthcare providers from embracing advanced glucose monitoring technologies, thus hindering market expansion.

Opportunity:

Expansion of home healthcare

With the increasing preference for remote monitoring and self-management of chronic conditions like diabetes, there is a rising demand for user-friendly and connected glucose monitoring devices that can be easily used at home. The integration of blood glucose monitoring systems with telemedicine platforms and mobile health applications enables patients to share their glucose data with healthcare providers in real-time, facilitating remote consultations and personalized treatment adjustments. The expansion of home healthcare services and the adoption of digital health technologies are expected to drive the uptake of advanced blood glucose monitoring systems.

Threat:

Product counterfeiting

Counterfeit devices, test strips, and sensors can compromise patient safety and lead to inaccurate glucose readings, potentially resulting in improper treatment decisions and adverse health outcomes. Counterfeit products may lack the necessary quality control and regulatory approvals, and their use can erode patient trust in legitimate blood glucose monitoring systems. Manufacturers face the challenge of protecting their intellectual property and ensuring the authenticity of their products in the face of counterfeit threats.

Covid-19 Impact:

The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of remote monitoring and self-management of diabetes. With lockdowns and reduced access to healthcare facilities, many patients have relied on home-based glucose monitoring to manage their condition. The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of telemedicine and remote monitoring solutions, including connected blood glucose monitoring systems. However, the pandemic has also disrupted supply chains and led to delays in product launches and regulatory approvals, temporarily affecting market growth.

The self-monitoring blood glucose systems segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The self-monitoring blood glucose systems segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The widespread availability, ease of use, and affordability of these systems contribute to their large market share. These devices enable patients to conveniently check their blood glucose levels at home or on the go, empowering them to make timely decisions about their diabetes management. The established reimbursement policies for self-monitoring blood glucose systems in many countries and the familiarity of patients and healthcare providers with these devices further support their dominant position in the market.

The gestational diabetes segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The Gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy, is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the blood glucose monitoring systems market. The increasing prevalence of gestational diabetes worldwide, driven by factors such as rising maternal age, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles, is fueling the demand for effective glucose monitoring solutions in this patient population. Additionally, growing awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and management of gestational diabetes is expected to drive the rapid growth of this segment.

Region with largest share:

North America is expected to hold the largest share of the blood glucose monitoring systems market. The high prevalence of diabetes, well-established healthcare infrastructure, and favorable reimbursement policies for glucose monitoring devices contribute to the region's dominant position. The presence of key market players, advanced technological capabilities, and a strong emphasis on diabetes management further support market growth in North America.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia Pacific region is projected to experience the highest growth rate in the blood glucose monitoring systems market during the forecast period. The region's large and growing diabetes population, driven by factors such as rapid urbanization, changing lifestyles, and increasing obesity rates, presents a significant market opportunity. Countries like China and India, with their vast patient pools and improving healthcare infrastructure, are expected to be major contributors to market growth.

Key players in the market

Some of the key players in Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems Market include Roche Diagnostics, Abbott Laboratories, Medtronic plc, Dexcom, Inc., Ascensia Diabetes Care, Johnson & Johnson, B.

Key Developments:

In October 2023, Terumo Corporation announced that it has agreed with U.S.-based Dexcom, Inc (Dexcom) to cease the distribution agreement for Dexcom's Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems (CGM) in Japan. This decision was made in accordance with Dexcom's change in marketing strategy to shift from indirect distribution to direct sales in certain key markets, excluding the U.S.

In April 2023, Dexcom announced that the FDA cleared Stelo by Dexcom, the first glucose biosensor that doesn't require a prescription, making it easier for people with Type 2 diabetes not using insulin to access leading CGM technology.

In May 2022, Abbott announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared its next-generation FreeStyle Libre 3 system for use by people four years and older6 living with diabetes. "The FreeStyle Libre 3 system is a direct result of listening to our customers - and giving them the innovation and sensing technology they've been looking for," said Jared Watkin, senior vice president of Abbott's diabetes care business.
