Market Intel: Advent Of Artificial Pancreas Tech To Galvanize Fast-Growing Diabetes Market

The global diabetes management devices market is expected to exceed $11.2bn by 2020, driven largely by the rising diabetes epidemic. This, in turn, is fueling significant innovation such as next-generation, automated artificial pancreas systems and miniaturized, less-invasive wireless technologies that can continuously track and analyze glucose levels in real-time. This feature looks more closely at these and other potentially groundbreaking new technologies, as well as the competitive landscape of the two major product segments – insulin pumps and blood glucose monitors.

The global diabetes management devices market is expected to grow from $9bn in 2015 to $11.2bn by 2020, a CAGR of 4.5%. While blood glucose monitors – continuous or otherwise –account for the largest product segment of the total diabetes market with about 66% of total sales, the smaller, yet highly innovative insulin pump segment is expected to see the biggest growth.

According to a new report by Meddevicetracker, "Global Diabetes Management Devices Market," global sales of glucose meters and CGMs are expected to rise from roughly $6bn in 2015 to $7bn in 2020, a CAGR of 3.2%. This is driven partly by the vast majority of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics using these devices as an integral part of their daily glucose monitoring routine, compared to a smaller number of severe Type 1 diabetics having to rely on insulin pumps
