The U.S. OTC continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices market size was valued at USD 194.0 million in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 207.2 million in 2026 to USD 403.5 million by 2033, at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2026 to 2033. The rising adoption of lifestyle wellness devices, including CGM to ease diabetes management, and easy access to wearable health tools, are fueling demand. In 2025, nearly 20% of Americans planned to use wearable devices to achieve their health goals, while Abbott reported that two out of three U.S. Lingo members began using an OTC CGM to make healthier decisions in real time.
In the coming 5 to 10 years, the adoption rate is expected to reach 50% among elderly Americans. The growing geriatric population and sedentary lifestyles contribute to the disease burden, imposing the development of advanced monitoring solutions such as CGM. Furthermore, expanding healthcare infrastructure and distribution of CGM devices through e-commerce without a prescription would ease accessibility. Technological advancements like sensor accuracy, app integration, and data sharing further support market growth across urban and semi-urban areas.
As of 2025, nearly 38 million American adults are diagnosed with diabetes, marking 11.5% of the total adult population in the U.S. Furthermore, around 97 million adults are prediabetic in the country. Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are the major contributing factors to the prevalence of diabetes. Continued surge in type 2 diabetes cases and growing awareness of early diagnoses are likely to boost the demand for OTC CGM devices in the U.S.
Newly introduced OTC CGM devices are suggested to be used by type 2 diabetes that are not on insulin. As type 2 diabetes does not get the insurance for prescription CGM, OTC comes in as a help. OTC CGM sells at an affordable rate and without a prescription. Although the OTC CGMs are not covered by insurance, the HAS/FSA funds are generally accepted.
