United States Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Market Size (2024 - 2029)

US Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Market Analysis

The United States Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Market size is estimated at USD 7.62 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 10.38 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.40% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

According to the CDC, routine diabetes management was important to reduce the risk of bad health outcomes and severe COVID-19 in diabetes patients. However, the pandemic caused disruptions in diabetes management, a worsening of glycemic control, and more cases of severe diabetic ketoacidosis. Between April and August 2020, about 60% of people who were just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes had diabetic ketoacidosis as their first sign or symptom.This is about twice as many as in previous years, which suggests that people with diabetes are taking longer to seek care and get diagnosed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, glycemic control got better when people used telemedicine or checked their own blood sugar.

Blood glucose monitoring increases patients' awareness of glucose values, which supports healthy lifestyle choices. Blood Glucose Monitoring values help in providing feedback and guidance on how to make health behavior changes when needed. Continued elevation in blood glucose levels in diabetes patients can contribute to progressive complications such as renal, nerve, and ocular damage. Appropriate and timely monitoring of blood glucose allows the successful management of out-of-range blood glucose levels, minimizing diabetic-related health complications.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, approximately 32.8% of adults aged 18 and over in the United States will be obese in 2021. When a person is overweight, their fat cells release chemicals that cause inflammation. These chemicals may make the body less sensitive to the insulin it makes by messing up the way insulin-responsive cells work. So, these people need insulin shots from the outside and have to use a device like a glucometer to check their blood sugar.

Innovative technologies, such as digital health apps that show and summarize each person's blood glucose readings and add other relevant data like insulin doses, meals or snacks, and physical activity, can help people better manage their own diabetes while reducing the burden of the disease and improving care overall. Integration of blood glucose monitoring with insulin calculators, automated insulin titration software, and remote coaching are all new developments that give patients with poorly controlled diabetes the extra help they need to improve critical outcomes, which will improve the market's prospects in the years to come.

US Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose Industry Segmentation

Diabetic patients can measure their own blood sugar levels using a glucometer, test strips, and lancets by self-monitoring their blood glucose.Based on the readings, patients can adjust or check the effect of their treatment. The United States self-monitoring blood glucose market is segmented into components (glucometer devices, test strips, and lancets). The report offers the value (in USD million) and volume (in million units) for the above segments.
