The self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $15.23 billion in 2024 to $16.28 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rise in prevalence of diabetes, increase in healthcare awareness, aging population, government initiatives and regulations, rise in healthcare spending.

The self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $22.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising home healthcare, telehealth expansion, rise in disposable income, rising demand for remote monitoring, rise in e-commerce. Major trends in the forecast period include continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) integration, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, wearable smbg devices, non-invasive monitoring, mobile apps and connectivity.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is anticipated to drive the growth of the self-monitoring blood glucose device market in the coming years. Self-monitoring of blood glucose involves individuals with diabetes using a glycemic reading device, such as a glucose meter, to measure their blood sugar levels. This allows them to adjust or monitor the effectiveness of their treatment options (diet, exercise, insulin, antidiabetics) or consult their physician based on the test results. For example, in March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities, a UK government department, reported that between March 2022 and March 2023, the proportion of individuals with type 1 diabetes receiving all eight recommended care processes rose by 22%. For type 2 diabetes, this figure increased by 21%, with the percentage achieving target HbA1c levels reaching 37.9%, the highest ever recorded by the National Diabetes Audit (NDA). As a result, the rising prevalence of diabetes is fueling the growth of the self-monitoring blood glucose device market.

Another contributing factor to the growth of the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market is the rising geriatric population. This demographic, typically aged 65 and older, experiences age-related physical and cognitive changes, making effective diabetes management crucial. Self-monitoring blood glucose devices play a vital role in helping elderly individuals manage diabetes by facilitating timely adjustments to medication and lifestyle choices. As per the World Health Organization's October 2022 report, the global population aged 60 or older is expected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050, highlighting the increasing significance of catering to the healthcare needs of the elderly. Consequently, the growing geriatric population is a driving force behind the expansion of the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market.

A prominent trend in the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market is technological advancement. Leading companies in this market are actively engaged in developing cutting-edge products to enhance their market presence. For example, Know Labs Inc., a US-based company specializing in glucose monitoring devices, introduced the KnowU, a portable medical-grade glucose monitoring device leveraging Bio-RFID technology. This non-invasive device offers an affordable and convenient alternative to traditional, more invasive blood glucose monitoring devices, providing users with on-the-go monitoring capabilities.

The major players in the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market are increasingly focusing on sensor-based glucose monitoring devices to gain a competitive edge. These medical tools continuously or intermittently measure and report blood glucose levels, aiding individuals with diabetes in managing their condition effectively. In September 2022, Abbott Laboratories received approval from the USFDA for FreeStyle Libre 2 and FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors, allowing integration with Automated Insulin Delivery Systems (AIDs). This approval signifies a significant step toward enhancing diabetes care by automating insulin adjustments based on real-time glucose data from the sensors.

In September 2022, Biocorp, a French manufacturer of medical devices, including blood glucose monitoring products, formed a partnership with Novo Nordisk. This collaboration was announced for the development and distribution of the Mallya smart add-on device for Novo Nordisk's FlexTouch pen, designed for individuals with diabetes. Both Biocorp and Novo Nordisk believe that this partnership will enable them to offer optimal solutions for people living with diabetes. Novo Nordisk is a healthcare company based in Denmark.

A Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) device is a portable instrument designed to identify potential diabetes indicators. Typically, these devices assess glucose levels by extracting a small blood drop from patients through a finger prick. International guidelines recommend this method for effectively managing diabetes in patients. SMBG devices are instrumental in measuring the concentration of glucose in the blood.

The primary types of Self-Monitoring Blood Glucose (SMBG) devices include self-monitoring blood glucose meters, continuous glucose monitors, testing strips, and lancets. Self-monitoring blood glucose meters are handheld devices utilized by patients at home to monitor their blood glucose levels. These meters typically require a blood drop obtained through a pinprick. They are distributed through hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, online sales, and diabetes clinics and centers. These devices find application in various contexts such as Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, and Gestational Diabetes.
