Regional Analysis

The global continuous blood glucose monitoring market is primarily analyzed across the regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and the Middle East, and Africa.

North America Dominated the Continuous Blood Glucose Monitoring Market with Presence of Key Players and Was Valued at USD 1,847.11 Million. The countries in the North American region depict a high prevalence of diabetes. Due to the large pool of patients and wider acceptance of advanced technologies, the United States held the largest share in the glucose monitoring market in 2019. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), approximations, in 2019, 463 million adults (aged 20-79) around the world had diabetes, including 31 million in the United States. Besides, other factors, such as new advancements and innovations, give many conveniences in measuring blood glucose levels. The new innovations from start-up companies in the U.S., having around 2.9 billion funding in diabetes industry like Glooko, OneDrop, verily, Vacate, Insulet, Noom, Bigfoot Biomedical, Virta Health, Diabeloop, Orgenesis, etc., drive the United States' market. The emergence of CGM has revolutionized the blood sugar monitoring process, as CGM-based devices monitor blood sugar every few minutes through a tiny sensor inserted under the patient's skin and relay results wirelessly to a pump, tablet, or other units.

A few notable companies dominated the North American glucose monitoring industry in 2019, including Dexcom, Abbott, and Medtronic. A new competitor is expected to enter the market within the forecast period. Market driving device developments like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved in June 2018 the first implantable CGM device for people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The system, called the Continuous Glucose Monitoring System for Eversense, provides monitoring for up to three months and is licensed for people aged 18 and over.

The Middle East & Africa Glucose Monitoring Market is Opportunistic to Several Key Players in Near Term. The countries of the Middle East and Africa suffer from the pressure of excessive spending on diabetes management. According to IDF, the overall Middle East & Africa region's diabetes expenditure among the population aged between 18 and 99 years was USD 24.9 billion in year 2019, projected to increase to USD 38.6 billion by 2045.
