Market Scope

Market Dynamics

Driver

Rising prevalence of diabetes

The rising prevalence of diabetes across the globe is expected to accelerate the adoption of tubeless insulin pump systems for the management of disease, driving the growth of the tubeless insulin pump market. Diabetes is a common and lifelong disease. Type 1 diabetes is becoming more common globally. At the regional level, the highest rate is 9.3 percent in North Africa and the Middle East, and that number is anticipated to increase to 16.8 percent by 2050. The rate in Latin America and the Caribbean is anticipated to increase to 11.3 percent. Major market players emphasize developing innovative technologies incorporated into tubeless insulin pump devices, which can be easily used at home with accurate results and are anticipated to fuel the market’s revenue during the forecast period.

• According to the report of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in June 2023, more than half a billion people are living with diabetes globally, affecting men, women, and children of all ages in every country, and it is estimated diabetes cases to rise from 529 million to 1.3 billion in the next 30 years. The latest estimates indicate that the current global prevalence rate is 6.1 percent, which makes diabetes one of the leading causes of death and disability.

Restraint

High cost

The high cost associated with tubeless insulin pumps is anticipated to hamper the market's growth. The high cost of tubeless insulin pumps discourages individuals from purchasing and less product accessibility in middle and lower-income countries. In addition, the lack of healthcare services in low-income countries may restrict the expansion of the global tubeless insulin pump market.

Opportunity

Rising concerns over obesity

The rising obesity and geriatric population are anticipated to offer lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the tubeless insulin pump market during the forecast period as the obese and aging populations are more susceptible to Diabetes. Tubeless insulin pumps are small, lightweight, portable, and effective to use in aging diabetic patients, and type 1 diabetes patients highly use them. The increasing number of diabetes cases in the aging population increases the demand for diabetes management devices. The burden of obesity is critical because it is associated with various chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, arthritis, some cancers, and others. Therefore, the rise in the obesity and geriatric population led to an increasing acceptance of tubeless insulin pumps.

• According to the data published by the IHME in June 2023, Diabetes is more prone among people 65 and above in every country and recorded a prevalence rate of more than 20 percent globally. The highest rate was 24.4 percent for those between ages 75-79.
• According to Harvard University, nearly 2 out of 3 U.S. adults are overweight or obese (69 percent), and one out of three are obese (36 percent). If the trend continues to grow, then by 2030, it is estimated that nearly half of all men and women will be obese.

Type Insights

The insulin patch pump segment held the largest share of the tubeless insulin pump market in 2024. The segment is also projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Patch pumps are small, directly attached to the skin, require less supervision, and have built-in innovative technology. Patch pumps are connected to the body for blood glucose management. Insulin patch pumps are more effective devices than traditional pumps as they are easy to use, cost-effective, and relatively smaller. Traditional via-syringe combinations are gradually being replaced by advanced technology developments, such as insulin patch pumps. Such supportive factors are expected to drive the tubeless insulin pump market’s revenue during the forecast period.

Component Insights

The pod or patch segment held the largest share of the tubeless insulin pump market in 2024, which is expected to sustain the position throughout the forecast period. Rapid technological advancement and continuous improvement in function and pod size have occurred. The innovative design to control pump functions is tubeless and has a remote control. In addition, pumps are integrated with calculators that assist in determining the exact insulin dosage patients require, which reduces the overdosage of insulin. On the other hand, the accessories segment is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period.

End-users Insights

The hospital segment stood as a dominating share in 2024 for the tubeless insulin pump market due to the accessibility of well-skilled medical staff and healthcare professionals, which assists in establishing better interaction with the patient and the easy availability of tubeless insulin pumps. The availability of huge patient-base at hospitals that require continuous treatment for diabetes opens up a sustained opportunity for the segment to continue its growth. 

The e-commerce segment is expected to grow at a notable rate during the forecast period. The robust growth of the e-commerce sector is facilitated by highly attractive economic benefits offered to customers by these channels rather than purchases through the offline channels. The market has witnessed a rising customer preference to make purchases from e-commerce channels due to the wide range of product availability and offers of attractive discounts and various other associated benefits.
