In addition, the growing number of technological advancements and the prominence over the traditional methods favor the insulin pump market in this region.

In addition, the increase in investments made by venture capitalists for technological advancement is also a key factor in the growth of the market. On the other hand, there have been several concerns associated with insulin delivery devices, such as skin infections and the high cost of insulin analogs which are constraints to the growth of this market.

The high adoption rate of these devices in Latin America, the growing aging population suffering from diabetes, increase in the adoption of sedentary lifestyles are further expected to propel the market growth. Furthermore, the collaborations between the public and private sectors to meet the diabetic needs and growing awareness regarding glycemic control and advanced insulin pump devices are estimated to impact market growth positively.

In addition, the economic slowdown and product recall may hinder market further expansion during the forecast period. The expensive nature of the insulin pumps and the difficulties and risk factors associated with these devices are major challenges. The lack of skilled and experienced professionals in handling insulin pumps further obstructs market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Latin America insulin pump market

The complex link between diabetes and COVID-19 is expected to increase demand for effective diabetes control devices, with insulin pumps leading the way. While the evidence suggesting an increased severity of COVID-19 in diabetics is well documented, new research has found that recovering coronavirus patients are at high risk of developing diabetes due to impaired organ function. Non-diabetic COVID-19 survivors are 40% more likely to develop diabetes within six months of infection.

However, despite these favorable circumstances, the growth of the insulin pump market will likely be hampered in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, as hospitals, clinics, and healthcare professionals devote all their energies to the treatment of patients with coronavirus. Therefore, non-essential paperwork has been postponed, affecting this market in the process.
