Pediatric Diabetes Market Summary
The global pediatric diabetes management market size was estimated at USD 5.59 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 13.11 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.96% from 2025 to 2033. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising global prevalence of diabetes, particularly Type 1, among children and adolescents, which has significantly increased the demand for effective monitoring and treatment solutions.
Technological advancements in blood glucose monitoring (BGM), continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and insulin delivery systems have improved accuracy, convenience, and compliance, making them more suitable for pediatric use. Globally, type 1 diabetes remains the most common form in children, but the rising incidence of childhood obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and poor dietary habits has led to a significant rise in type 2 diabetes diagnoses in younger age groups. According to the International Diabetes Federation, around 1.52 million people aged 20 years had diabetes in 2022. This high prevalence of diabetes is increasing demand for constant monitoring and long-term disease management, thereby contributing to demand for pediatric-focused diabetes care solutions. The increasing regulatory support and initiatives to address diabetes in pediatric patient groups further fuel the market growth.
Technological advancements in diabetes management devices have significantly influenced the market growth as comfort, usability, and real-time insights are crucial for disease adherence. Companies are increasingly investing in the development of compact, minimally invasive, and user-friendly devices that cater specifically to children and adolescents. Innovations such as tubeless insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) with extended sensor life, and smartphone-connected systems have improved patient compliance and parental monitoring. These devices reduce the burden on both children and caregivers by automating insulin dosing and generating predictive alerts, minimizing the risks of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Additionally, market players are focusing on launching pediatric-specific design features, such as miniaturization of products, further contributing to their increasing adoption. For instance, in July 2023, Tandem Diabetes Care's miniature-sized insulin pump, Tandem Mobi, controllable via iPhone app and compatible with CGM, got FDA clearance for children (>=6 years) and adults. Half the size of t : slim X2, it integrates Control IQ automation, features shorter tubing, and remote updates.
