The global blood glucose monitoring devices market size was estimated at USD 15.53 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 30.18 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2026 to 2033. The market is primarily influenced by the growing prevalence of diabetes and growing elderly population susceptible to conditions such as diabetes.
In addition, market growth is driven by rising awareness of preventive measures for diabetes and the introduction of new products. Diabetes, a widespread and increasing global concern, is characterized by the pancreas' inability to efficiently produce insulin, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. Moreover, the technology associated with blood glucose monitoring not only aids immediate intervention but also serves as a valuable tool for patient education on diabetes and its effective management.
The rising global prevalence of diabetes is anticipated to drive strong market demand during the forecast period. According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (June 2023), over 500 million people worldwide currently live with diabetes, impacting individuals across all demographics. With a global prevalence of 6.1%, diabetes ranks among the top 10 causes of death and disability. North Africa and the Middle East lead with a 9.3% prevalence, which is expected to increase to 16.8% by 2050. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the prevalence is projected to rise to 11.3%.
In addition, market growth is driven by rising awareness of preventive measures for diabetes and the introduction of new products. Diabetes, a widespread and growing global concern, is characterized by the pancreas' inability to efficiently produce insulin, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. According to the International Diabetes Federation, approximately 537 million individuals were diagnosed with diabetes in 2021, and projections indicate an anticipated rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045.
Blood glucose monitoring (BGM) devices play a crucial role in supporting individuals with diabetes in numerous ways. Initially, they empower both patients and healthcare professionals to identify elevated or reduced blood glucose levels, enabling timely adjustments to treatment plans. This capability serves as a protective measure by promptly confirming acute hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, ensuring the well-being of patients. In addition, these devices enhance self-care practices, offering individuals greater control over their diabetes management. Moreover, the technology associated with blood glucose monitoring not only aids in immediate intervention but also serves as a valuable tool for patient education on diabetes and its effective management.
The prevalence of diabetes tends to increase with age, and older adults are more susceptible to developing diabetes or experiencing complications related to the disease. As the geriatric population increases, so does the pool of individuals at risk of diabetes, creating a greater demand for blood glucose monitoring devices. For instance, based on the National Diabetes Statistics Report, in 2021, in the U.S. 27.2 million adults aged 65 years or older had prediabetes. Studies have shown that real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is effective and safe in adults aged 65 years and older with type 2 diabetes. Participants aged 65 years and above showed a significant improvement in their hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, which indicates better control of blood glucose levels when using CGM compared to blood glucose monitoring (BGM). These results underscore the potential value of CGM devices as a beneficial tool for effectively managing diabetes in the elderly population.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the market. The pandemic highlighted healthcare disparities and technological importance, including BGM devices. Regulatory changes, such as relaxed requirements for obtaining continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), have increased access to these devices, particularly benefiting those who can benefit from the technology. Furthermore, the use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rtCGM) was observed during lockdowns for improved glycemic control, reducing the time in range & glucose variability, thereby significantly boosting the overall market growth.
