MARKET DRIVERS

The growing diabetic population worldwide and technological developments are key factors propelling the growth of the continuous glucose monitoring market.

The diabetic population is growing rapidly worldwide. As per the data published by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), approximately 537 million diabetic patients were identified in 2021. WHO says diabetes caused 1.5 million direct deaths in 2019. The number of diabetic population is expected to increase in the coming years and fuel the demand for effective glucose monitoring solutions, particularly those that provide continuous and non-invasive monitoring. CGM or continuous glucose monitoring provides effective monitoring of glucose levels and is one of the promising solutions for diabetic patients to use for disease management. On the other hand, technological advancements have made the CGM more accurate, user-friendly and affordable. Due to these, the adoption of CGM has tremendously increased in recent years. Using technological developments such as data analytics and AI algorithms, healthcare professionals are now being able to analyze the interpret the data gathered by CGM devices, which is further resulting in improved patient outcomes and reducing the possibility of meeting with severe health risks.

The rising healthcare expenditure is further fuelling the growth rate of the continuous glucose monitoring market.

The costs associated with diabetes management are growing continuously and diabetic patients have constantly been looking for cost-effective solutions for disease management. CGM technology offers is one of the effective solutions for diabetic patients to reduce the healthcare costs of diabetes in the long run. Diabetes could lead to severe health complications such as CVDs, kidney disease, and nerve damage when managed poorly. The costs associated with hospitalization in such situations would be significantly high. By using CGM technology, diabetic patients can track continuous and real-time glucose monitoring and help avoid the health risks of diabetes. In addition, the CGM technology also helps with more accurate and reliable glucose monitoring and thereby, helps with reducing the cost of diabetes-related complications, such as diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy.

In addition, the growing awareness among people and healthcare professionals regarding the potential benefits of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), the increasing number of initiatives by several governments in favor of CGM, and the rising number of R&D activities to develop innovative and effective CGM devices fuel the market growth during the forecast period. The growing adoption of CGM technology for better diabetes management by healthcare professionals, rising demand for a non-invasive method of monitoring glucose levels, integration possibilities of CGM devices with smartphones, wearables, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers and rising demand for personalized CGM devices accelerate the market’s growth rate. The growing obese patient population worldwide and rising emphasis on preventative healthcare further favor the market growth.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The high cost of CGM devices is one of the key factors hampering the market growth. Due to these high costs, the adoption of CGM is limited in developing and underdeveloped countries. Limited reimbursement policies for continuous glucose monitoring in some countries hinder the overall growth rate of the market. Inaccuracies and poor awareness regarding the benefits of CGM in some countries further inhibit the market’s growth rate. Privacy concerns and technical channels are some other significant obstacles to the growth of the CGM market.
