The self-monitoring blood glucose (smbg) devices market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the last few years, there has been a significant expansion in the market size for self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) devices. Anticipated growth is from $15.23 billion in 2024 to an estimated $16.28 billion in 2025, following a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
Factors that have influenced this growth historically include an increase in cases of diabetes, enhanced awareness about healthcare, the aging demographic, the introduction of government initiatives and regulations, and an increase in healthcare expenditures.
The self-monitoring blood glucose (smbg) devices market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) devices is predicted to significantly strengthen in the upcoming years, reaching a valuation of $22.75 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%.
This anticipated growth during the forecast period is due to the increasing prevalence of home healthcare, the extension of telehealth, an increase in disposable income, heightened demand for remote monitoring, and a rise in e-commerce. The forecast period is also expected to see major trends such as the integration of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, the emergence of wearable SMBG devices, non-invasive monitoring methods, as well as the introduction of mobile applications and connectivity.
The self-monitoring blood glucose device market is predicted to expand due to the growing incidence of diabetes. Individuals with diabetes use a blood glucose self-monitoring tool, which allows them to assess their blood sugar levels with a glucose meter, enabling them to adapt or track the effectiveness of their management plan based on diet, physical activity, insulin, and antidiabetics or consult their doctor depending on the test results. For instance, the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities in the UK reported in March 2024 that from March 2022 to March 2023, there was a 22% increase in individuals with type 1 diabetes receiving all eight recommended care procedures, and for those with type 2 diabetes, the increase was 21%. Furthermore, the percentage reaching target HbA1c levels escalated to 37.9%, the most significant level ever noted in the National Diabetes Audit (NDA). Consequently, the escalating incidence of diabetes is fuelling the growth of the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market.
