Investment by key market players with an aim to cater unmet needs in emerging countries. For instance, in October 2018, Amazon launched medical device brand focusing majorly on diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Choice, the new brand will initially include blood glucose monitors and blood pressure monitors accompanied by supporting mobile apps that offer measurement tracking, data mobility and reminders. These type of initiatives are anticipated to increase awareness among people and propel the demand of diabetes devices globally, hence driving the growth of the market.

“Rising Prevalence of Diabetes Globally is Fueling the Demand for Monitoring and Treatment Devices”

There is an increasing prevalence of diabetes globally, especially in developing economies including China, and India. Various factors including rapid urbanization and growth in sedentary lifestyle, especially in developing economies have been responsible for rapidly rising prevalence of diabetes. The International Diabetes Federation estimated that around 425 million adults were suffering from diabetes in 2017 and it is projected to rise to around 630 million by 2045. 

According to these studies, China, India, U.S., Brazil, and Mexico account for an estimated 55.0% to 60.0% of the global diabetes population. China and India currently account for around 44.0% of the global diabetes population.

Other factors including obesity, and lack of awareness regarding the disease especially in emerging countries, are also contributing to the increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetes. For example, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 1.9 billion adults globally were overweight in 2016, and out of these an estimated 650 million adults were obese.

Rising obesity coupled with increasing number of diabetic patients is anticipate to fuel the demand for the diabetes treatment, hence driving the growth of the diabetes management devices market during the forecast period.

SEGMENTATION

By Type Analysis

“Monitoring Devices Segment is anticipated to grow at a Faster Pace during the forecast period.”

On the basis of type, the global market can be segmented into monitoring devices and treatment devices.

Monitoring devices accounted for the largest share of the global diabetes care devices market in 2018. An increasing number of regulatory approvals for continuous blood glucose monitoring systems and technological advancements in insulin delivery devices such as smart insulin patches, insulin inhalers, closed loop pump systems, and other pipeline devices are some of the major driving factors for the growth of the global diabetes care devices market. 

Growing adoption of insulin patches, wearable continuous blood glucose monitoring system and smart insulin pumps for self-diabetes management is also one of the factors propelling the growth of the global diabetes care devices market.

By Distribution Channel Analysis

“Retail Sales Segment is expected to hold the Highest Share among Distribution Channel.”

On the basis of distribution channel, the market for a diabetes device can be segmented into institutional sales and retail sales. The retail sales segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period due increased penetration of private-label brands in retail outlets at discounted prices are some of the factors likely to propel the growth of the retail sales segment. Explanation of retail sales segments various key market players with an aim to achieve more sales in the different regions globally.

Rising prevalence of chronic disorders and rising number of surgeries is likely to increase demand for the blood glucose meters as blood glucose monitoring is mandatory while performing invasive surgeries which will further fuel the growth of the institutional sales during the forecast period.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

North America generated a revenue of USD 8.48 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to grow at a moderate CAGR during the forecast period. According to the World Health Organization, in 2015, 60 million people were suffering from diabetes in Europe. The increasing diabetes population in Europe and comparatively lower prices of insulin and insulin delivery devices, subsequently increasing the demand and sales of the insulin delivery devices are some of the major factors anticipated to drive the growth of the global diabetes care devices market.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at significantly higher CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing diabetic population, rising adoption of the technologically advanced blood glucose meters and higher demand for the insulin delivery devices.  

On the other hand, The Middle East and Africa and Latin America are expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the during the forecast period of 2019-2026 owing to the increasing diabetic population, rising investment in the healthcare infrastructure and rising awareness about disease diagnosis and monitoring.
