Market overview
The blood glucose monitoring device market size was valued at USD 14.40 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 15.55 billion in 2025 to USD 31.31 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.1% from 2025 to 2034.
While SMBG remains essential in many care settings and geographies — particularly where cost or reimbursement constraints persist — CGM technology is rapidly eroding that dominance in markets where payer coverage, clinical guidelines, and provider adoption align. The market therefore supports both high-volume consumables (test strips and lancets) and high-value, recurring-revenue sensor models underpinned by connectivity and services.
Market scope —
- Product breadth: Includes SMBG meters and test strips, CGM/FGM wearable sensors and readers, implantable sensors, transmitters, adhesives and disposables, as well as peripheral hardware for sensor placement and charging.
- Software and services: Encompasses patient apps, clinician dashboards, cloud analytics, remote monitoring services, population health integrations, and training/education programs that amplify device value.
- End users and channels: Serves individual consumers, clinics and hospitals, home health and telehealth programs, pharmacies, and institutional purchasers; distribution channels include retail, specialty distributors, direct-to-consumer models, and integrated care vendors.
- Economic regulatory context: Adoption is shaped by reimbursement policies, clinical guideline endorsements, data privacy and interoperability standards, and evidence demonstrating clinical and cost effectiveness.
Market opportunities —
- Broader CGM adoption across diabetes populations: While early CGM uptake focused on people with type 1 diabetes, expanding clinical evidence and more permissive coverage decisions are enabling wider use among people with type 2 diabetes — including those not on insulin — representing a large addressable population.
- Longer-wear and implantable solutions: Extended-duration sensors and minimally invasive implantables reduce the frequency of replacements and improve user convenience, creating opportunities for new service models (e.g., procedure-based implantation programs, bundled follow-up care).
- Integrated device therapy ecosystems: Partnerships that connect glucose monitoring with insulin delivery, decision support algorithms, and telehealth create differentiated offerings and support closed-loop or hybrid closed-loop therapies, increasing the value proposition for health systems and patients.
- Data-driven services and value-based care: Analytics, remote monitoring platforms, and population-level management programs allow payers and providers to reduce hospitalizations and complications — enabling recurring revenue streams for device manufacturers and software providers through subscription and outcomes-based contracts.
Regional analysis
- North America: The most mature market with high penetration of advanced monitoring technologies and well-developed reimbursement pathways in many jurisdictions. Continued growth is expected as longer-wear sensors and integrated care models expand, and as telehealth becomes further embedded in chronic care protocols.
- Europe: Technology uptake is strong but shaped by national payer decisions and cost-containment pressures. Growth is driven by clinical guideline updates and country-level pilots that demonstrate cost-effectiveness for broader CGM use. Interoperability with national health IT systems and evidence of health economic benefit are important adoption levers.
- Asia Pacific: Rapid volume growth driven by rising diabetes prevalence, expanding healthcare access, and growing patient awareness. Urban centers and tertiary hospitals lead adoption of advanced CGM systems, while SMBG products maintain high share in more price-sensitive areas. Strategies that localize pricing, distribution, and training accelerate market entry.
- Latin America, Middle East Africa: Markets are heterogeneous — growth depends on public health priorities, private sector investment, and NGO programs. Cost, supply reliability, and clinician training are key barriers; opportunities exist for cost-effective sensors, donation or subsidy programs, and regional commercial partnerships that emphasize aftercare and education.
Key market participants
The market comprises several types of participants whose roles shape competitive dynamics and delivery models, described broadly rather than by named vendors:
- SMBG device and consumable providers: Companies that produce meters, test strips, lancets and related consumables, often focused on high-volume manufacturing efficiency and retail distribution.
- Continuous monitoring and sensor innovators: Developers of wearable and implantable glucose sensors emphasizing accuracy, wear duration, and user comfort. These participants often also build accompanying mobile apps and clinician portals.
- Insulin delivery and closed-loop integrators: Organizations that partner with or integrate glucose monitoring data into insulin pumps and algorithmic insulin delivery systems, enabling hybrid or closed-loop therapy.
- Software, analytics and data services vendors: Firms that offer cloud platforms, remote monitoring dashboards, decision support, and population health tools that convert raw glucose data into clinical insights and care workflows.
- Channel and service partners: Distributors, pharmacy networks, home-care providers, and telehealth operators that enable patient access, training, and device provisioning at scale.
- Component and materials suppliers: Suppliers of sensor chemistry, microelectronics, adhesives and wearable materials that underpin the performance and manufacturability of monitoring devices.
