Global Continuous Glucose Monitring Market To Reach US$ 1.02 Billion By 2024, Says Report


Posted March 22, 2017 by AbhijitR

Increasing awareness, supporting safety evidences for CGM systems and growing demand for point-of-care (POC) devices are major factors driving demand across the globe.

 
Continuous Glucose Monitoring – Live an Uninterrupted Life

Diabetes is a major global concern that, as per International Diabetes Federation (IDF) data, affected around 415 million people in 2015. Effective management of diabetes is vital, especially considering the sedentary lifestyle that most people across the globe have taken up. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems offer effective solution in diabetes management through continuous real-time glucose monitoring. Increasing awareness, supporting safety evidences for CGM systems and growing demand for point-of-care (POC) devices are major factors driving demand across the globe. However, high prices of these systems and the rather cumbersome experience of wearing of these relatively obtrusive gadgets throughout the day is currently restraining its demand in the low and middle income countries, where there is inadequate penetration of healthcare IT products and services.

The global continuous glucose monitoring market was valued at US$ 444 million in 2015 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.8% during the period 2016 – 2024.

Sensors to emerge as highest revenue contributor among component segments
Sensors are an integral part of CGM system. The type and sensitivity of the sensor are crucial factors that influence accuracy of sensing glucose level in the interstitial fluid. Although, transmitters hold a dominant share, accounting for over 50% (2015) share of the market, revenue contribution of the sensors segment is expected to increase at a faster growth rate during the forecast period (2016 – 2024).

Rapid increase in demand for CGM devices, especially in emerging economies, is mainly attributed to increasing consumer awareness regarding the importance of monitoring presence of glucose in the body in order to sustain a healthy life
North America and Europe were the largest markets for continuous glucose monitoring, collectively accounting for over 75% share of the global continuous glucose monitoring market in 2015. This was mainly owing to new product launches, rapid adoption of new technologies, and high product awareness in these developed regions. However, with increasing prevalence of diabetes in emerging economies such as India, China, Taiwan, Brazil, South Korea, and South Africa, demand for CGM devices is expected to witness a steep incline in these countries over the forecast period.

According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), around 75% of the diabetic population lives in low and middle income countries such as Mexico, India, China, Brazil, Colombia, Libya, Iran, and Turkey. Asia-Pacific accounted for over 50% of the global diabetic population in 2015, with prevalence rate being the highest in China and India. Market penetration in these countries is relatively low, mainly due to high prices of CGM devices. However, the scenario in Asia Pacific region is expected to change in the near future due to increasing patient awareness and decreasing prices of these systems., which would change the industry dynamics and impact the market growth positively, expanding at a CAGR of 15% during the forecast period.

Integration of advanced technologies is expected to provide a competitive edge to CGM device manufacturers

• Senseonics, Inc. received CE approval for its Eversense CGM system, the world’s first long-term implantable CGM. Eversense system uses a 90-day implanted sensor, while conventional CGM systems rely on five-to-seven day sensor capacity.

• GlySens implantable continuous glucose monitoring (ICGM) system is undergoing clinical evaluation for safety and accuracy

• Medtronic, Inc. collaborated with Fitbit to integrate the physical activity data of the Fitbit wearable with the glucose levels in a single application called iPro2 myLog

These new technologies would give Senseonics, Inc., Medtronic, Inc. and GlySens Incorporated a competitive edge over the existing leading players such as Roche Diagnostics, Dexcom Inc., and Bayer AG.

Global players need to explore the untapped geographies and simultaneously should focus on upgrading their CGM technology

Major players in the global continuous glucose monitoring market include Abbott Laboratories, Roche Diagnostics, Dexcom Inc., Bayer AG, Medtronic, Inc., Animas Corporation, Nova Biomedical Corporation, Ypsomed AG, GlySens Incorporated, Insulet Corporation, and Sensionics Incorporated. Technology and price are the main differentiating factors of CGM systems for these companies. With the existing blood glucose monitors being the priority device for diagnosing diabetes and monitoring, CGM device manufacturers need to develop system with equivalent or higher accuracy for detecting diabetes in order to maintain their competitive edge in the market.
