United Kingdom (UK) Diabetes Care Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

UK Diabetes Devices Market Analysis

The United Kingdom Diabetes Care Devices Market size is estimated at USD 84.31 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 116.32 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.72% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the United Kingdom's diabetes care devices. According to The British Diabetic Association, 'The pandemic has had, and continues to have, a huge impact on our society. However research and data have shown that people with diabetes have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, particularly in terms of poorer outcomes when contracting the virus. That's why preventing or delaying cases of type 2 diabetes is more important than ever before.'

The pandemic also highlighted opportunities for continuing and expanding innovations in the delivery of diabetes care, through virtual consultations between healthcare providers and people with diabetes, and the use of diabetes technology. Crisis management has created unprecedented interest in remote care from both patients and providers and removed many long-standing regulatory barriers. Thus, the COVID-19 outbreak increased the diabetes care device market's growth.

The rate of newly diagnosed cases of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is seen to increase, mainly due to obesity, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. The rapidly increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetic patients and healthcare expenditure are indications of the increasing usage of diabetic care products. According to The British Diabetic Association, Diabetes prevalence 2021 data shows an increase in the number of people living with a diabetes diagnosis in the UK: an increase of more than 150,000 from 2020. It is estimated that more than 13.6 million people are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes in the UK. At this rate, the number of people with diabetes, including the undiagnosed population, is expected to rise to 5.5 million by 2030.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period.
