The rising incidence of chronic diseases enabled technological advancements in healthcare devices. One such advancement is the growing use of continuous glucose monitors. The benefits offered by CGMs over conventional devices are real-time data monitoring; provision of trend analysis to monitor glucose levels during meals, exercise, and resting periods of the patient; issue alerts in cases of extremely high or low glucose levels, enhanced diabetes management, and reduction in the use of fingerstick.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is also being integrated into CGM devices contributing to effective diabetes management. This integration leads to the optimization of treatments and helps in lifestyle management to avoid the risk of diabetes. For instance, in May 2023, January, Inc. (U.S.) launched a generative artificial intelligence (AI) supported app that can estimate and predict the glucose patterns of individuals. This app can be integrated with a CGM and can be accessed through any smartphone device to receive recommendations on calorie intake and physical activity. It also offers tips on blood glucose management and can be used by people without diabetes who are on special diets such as intermittent fasting.
The usage of smart electronic devices and the integration of AI in glucose monitoring is a recent development. Smart CGM devices predict fluctuations in glucose levels up to 60 minutes in advance and provide access to additional algorithms and insights for improved glucose management. For example, the Guardian Connect CGM System, developed by Medtronic (Ireland), allows users with diabetes to track their glucose patterns on mobile devices every 5 minutes.
AI integration in glucose monitoring devices helps reduce manual checking of blood glucose levels by predicting the sugar levels and creating a personalized plan, making diabetes management easier than with traditional devices. For instance, in March 2024, Roche launched an AI-powered diabetes management system called the 14-day Accu-Chek SmartGuide system that predicts fluctuations in glucose levels.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been increased adoption of wearable technology in healthcare. The rising prevalence of diabetes and an increased need for real-time or continuous monitoring are key drivers of this increasing adoption. CGM devices have a lower turnaround time than the conventional process at the clinics, which is expensive and relies on patient-provider availability.
The adoption of wearable devices to monitor vitals has proven to be significant. Additionally, the emphasis on preventive healthcare and personalized medicine is encouraging more people to adopt CGM devices to manage their health proactively.
Technologically advanced continuous glucose monitors are gaining popularity due to the enhanced connectivity features offered by these devices. Some of the advantages offered by these devices include wireless connectivity, personalized glucose level tracking, integration with insulin pumps, and a combination of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Another such innovation is the use of enzyme-based electrochemical sensors in CGM devices that provide accurate and reliable information to the users. Many of the minimally invasive CGM systems are enzyme-based. The wireless connectivity feature of CGMs with smartphones enables users to track their glucose levels in real time. Combining this with insulin pumps allows the adjustment of insulin levels based on glucose levels, providing a significant edge in diabetes care management.
Additionally, implantable continuous glucose monitors are also being introduced. For instance, in February 2022, Senseonics Holdings, Inc. (U.S.) received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the Eversense® E3 version, which is an implantable CGM device and can stay in the body of a patient for approximately six months.
Based on component, the continuous glucose monitoring market is segmented into sensors, transmitters, and receivers. In 2024, the sensors segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 52.4% of the continuous glucose monitoring market. The rise in the preference for continuous glucose monitoring, along with frequent purchases of sensors, compared to receivers and transmitters, supports the large market share of this segment. Sensors require more frequent replacement compared to other components. Disposable sensors are replaced in 7 to 14 days after placement while implantable sensors can be replaced in 150-180 days.
Based on age group, the market is segmented into adults and children. In 2024, the adult segment is expected to account for a larger share of the continuous glucose monitoring market. This segment’s large market share can be attributed to the rise in the geriatric population with a high prevalence of diabetes and a sedentary lifestyle, leading to diseases such as obesity. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), in 2021, 38.4 million people of all ages had diabetes (11.6% of the population), among which 38.1 million were adults ages 18 years or older.
However, the children segment is projected to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Children are more likely to get diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, where the body no longer produces insulin, leading to elevated glucose levels. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Atlas 2022, in 2022, there were 1.52 million under 20 years of age, living with type 1 diabetes globally. Continuous or real-time monitoring of glucose levels can help effectively manage this condition.
Based on end user, the market is segmented into home care settings and medical facilities such as hospitals & clinics.
