Rising cases of diabetes patients
The rising prevalence of chronic illnesses such as diabetes in the population, especially in geriatric population due to fluctuating glucose levels and lower immune systems is observed to promote the market’s growth. The number of diabetes is growing globally due to changing lifestyle preferences and accepting a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, drinking, and unhealthy eating habits are causing diseases like diabetes. Rapid urbanization and awareness regarding health and self-monitoring in health drives the expansion of the market. The rising prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diseases in people drives the demand for self-monitoring devices for frequent monitoring in the personal environment which supports the market’s expansion. Additionally, the rising product innovation along with the research and development activities across the globe promotes the growth of the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market.
Higher cost and skepticism regarding the application
Self-monitoring devices for diabetes patients are comparatively newer to the market which offers patients the chance to test and monitor blood glucose levels at home care settings. The limited knowledge and lack of expertise while using can create significant skepticism among users by acting as a major restraint for the market. Along with this, the increased cost associated with the devices due to the technological advancements in the devices are limiting the use of the devices which restrains the growth of the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market.
Technological advancements
Technological advancements in self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) devices, such as wearable devices, are a revolutionary shift in the market for self-monitoring blood glucose devices. People are accepting digitally advanced diabetes monitoring systems and virtual care. The increasing demand for technologically advanced self-monitoring devices pushes manufacturers to launch meters in self-monitoring devices that are less painful and invasive at the time of testing. These types of meter devices provide more accurate and rapid results of the tests. Automated self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) devices are another type of advancement that is accepted at the level of personnel and physicians. Self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) device advancements have made devices more reliable, controlled, automated, connected, and innovative. Additionally, CGM technologies help reduce A1C and hypoglycemia.
The testing strips dominated the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market with the largest share in 2023. The segment is observed to sustain the position in the upcoming years. The growth of the segment is attributed to the higher use of texting strips in the self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) device for testing blood sugar. Testing strips are the most commonly used in the self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) device for the efficient monitoring of blood sugar with faster, simpler, and convenient analysis. The blood sugar testing strips are coated with biological enzymes for effective diabetes diagnosis and disposable. The growth of the segment is also driven by the easy availability of the product in the pharmacies and in the major e-commerce platform that drives the expansion of the segment. Additionally, the rising interest in the self-monitoring of blood sugar in the private environment and homely comfort drives the demand for the devices which results in the increasing demand for the testing strips segment.
On the other hand, the self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) meters segment is observed to grow at a notable rate in the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market during the forecast period. There is a growing trend towards self-care and personal health management. People are increasingly interested in monitoring their own health metrics, including blood glucose levels, to manage their conditions more effectively. Growing awareness about the importance of blood glucose monitoring in diabetes management is encouraging more individuals to regularly monitor their blood glucose levels.
The type 2 diabetes segment held the largest share of the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market. Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong disease that needs to be regularly monitored for efficient treatment that drives the growth of the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market. The growing number of type 2 diabetes in the geriatric population as well as in kids and teens is due to the prevalence of sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking, and drinking habits. There are 90 to 95% of people globally affected by type 2 diabetes.
Four hundred sixty-two million people, or about 6.3% of the population, are affected by type 2 diabetes worldwide. It is one of the leading causes of death, and about 1 million deaths every year. The cases of economically developed and developing countries, the cases of type 2 diabetes are rapidly evolving, like in Europe and the United States. Type 2 diabetes is highly affecting the middle age and older generation, in which 4.4% are aged 15-49, 15% are 50-69, and 22% are between 70 and older. Thus, the rising cases of type 2 diabetes patients globally are anticipated to drive the growth of the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market.
