The global blood glucose monitoring devices market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.41% over the forecast period to reach a market size of US$19.021 billion in 2026 from US$12.384 billion in 2020.

Blood glucose monitoring devices are the devices used to keep a track of blood sugar levels in order to better understand diabetes. The increasing need amongst the people suffering from diabetes about continuous testing of the blood sugar levels to better analyze how different foods, medications, and activities affect one’s body in terms of diabetes is expected to fuel the market for the devices during the forecast period. The device further helps to track the changes and help the doctor plan the treatments accordingly for the future. Given the rapid pace of developments taking place in the healthcare sector across the world, the technological innovations made in these devices help the patient to track the levels even when mobile with the help of portable glucose meters known as glucometers. These devices help the patient as well as their doctors to make conscious plans about the medication dosage, exercise, and the diet to be followed. The market witnessed a significant growth rate after the introduction of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) which helps track the blood sugar level at very short intervals. This device collects the readings every 5 to 15 minutes giving the patients as well as their healthcare team a better perspective about the medical condition and further help them to make more data-driven decisions.

A key factor expected to be driving the market for blood glucose monitoring devices is the significant shift in the lifestyle pattern which is further fueled by increasing unhealthy habits like smoking and consumption of alcohol and unhealthy food products due to which there has been a substantial rise in the cases of diabetes globally. According to a report by International Diabetes Federation (IDF), about 463 Million in the age group of 20-79 years were living with diabetes in the year 2019 which is expected to rise to 700 million, according to the estimates provided in the report. The rise is majorly witnessed in type 2 diabetes cases globally. The rise in the cases of diabetes is expected to further fuel the growth of the market for Blood glucose monitoring devices in the coming years.

The advent of COVID-19 had a diverse impact on the market of blood glucose monitoring devices with the sales witnessing a significant increase owing to the rapid increase in the number of cases of COVID-19 at a global level with total cases reaching about 81 Million and the disease have claimed about 1. Million lives according to the data of the World Health Organization (WHO). The demand for blood glucose is expected to witness a rapid increase as the people and the recovered patients have become more conscious about their health and are willing to monitor it as much as possible. Furthermore, the demand for the devices increases in hospitals and other healthcare institutions in order to better monitor the health of the recovering patients. The market for the devices is expected to witness a steady growth rate in the coming years owing to the increasing awareness about health.
