Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices are used to track blood sugar levels in real time by placing a sensor under the skin. These devices offer continuous data, trend insights, and alerts for both high and low blood sugar levels, which helps manage diabetes more effectively. CGM devices reduce the need for frequent finger pricks and improve glucose control.
The primary components of continuous glucose monitoring devices include transmitters, sensors, and receivers. Transmitters are the components that transmit glucose level data from the sensor to the receiver or connected device for monitoring. They typically connect via Bluetooth or 4G technology. CGM devices are used across various demographics, including both children and adults, for managing conditions such as gestational diabetes, type-1 diabetes, and type-2 diabetes. These devices are utilized in a range of settings, including hospitals, homecare environments, and other healthcare settings.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The continuous glucose monitoring devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides continuous glucose monitoring devices market statistics, including the continuous glucose monitoring devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with the continuous glucose monitoring devices market share, detailed continuous glucose monitoring devices market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the continuous glucose monitoring devices industry. This continuous glucose monitoring devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The continuous glucose monitoring devices market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.41 billion in 2024 to $9.79 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased patient safety and improved health outcomes, increased demand for diabetes management devices, increased the use of CGM devices, a rise in the number of diabetes patients, and increased patient trust.
The continuous glucose monitoring devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.18 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing healthcare spending, increasing awareness, increasing number of diabetes cases, increasing prevalence of diabetes, and rising popularity of continuous glucose monitoring devices. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, innovations in CGM technology, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory approvals, and partnerships and collaborations.
The forecast of 16.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on biocompatible adhesives and miniaturized electrochemical sensors, sourced from key regions such as Switzerland and South Korea, which could lead to device shortages and increased expenses for diabetic patients requiring constant monitoring.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing prevalence of diabetes is expected to drive the expansion of the continuous glucose monitoring devices market. Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar levels, either due to insufficient insulin production or insulin resistance. The increasing rates of diabetes are primarily attributed to factors such as poor diets, sedentary lifestyles, obesity, aging populations, and genetic predispositions. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices aid in managing diabetes by providing real-time data on blood glucose levels, enabling timely treatment adjustments and lifestyle changes. For example, in March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement & Disparities, a UK-based government department, reported that between March 2022 and March 2023, the percentage of individuals with type 1 diabetes receiving all eight recommended care processes rose by 22%, while for type 2 diabetes, it increased by 21%. Additionally, the percentage of patients achieving target HbA1c levels reached 37.9%, the highest ever recorded in the National Diabetes Audit (NDA). As a result, the rising prevalence of diabetes is significantly contributing to the growth of the continuous glucose monitoring devices market.
Leading companies in the continuous glucose monitoring devices market are focused on developing innovative technologies, such as over-the-counter continuous glucose monitors, to improve accessibility, accuracy, and usability for individuals managing blood glucose levels. An over-the-counter CGM device allows users to continuously monitor their blood glucose levels without the need for a prescription. For instance, in September 2024, Abbott Laboratories, a US-based medical device company, launched the Lingo continuous glucose monitoring system. This device provides users with real-time glucose data, offering continuous monitoring and instant feedback on blood sugar levels throughout the day. It features a sleek design with easy-to-read displays and integrates with mobile apps for tracking trends and receiving alerts.
In September 2023, Abbott Laboratories, a US-based medical device company, acquired Bigfoot Biomedical Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Abbott to enhance its diabetes care offerings by combining Bigfoot Biomedical's smart insulin management systems with its Freestyle Libre technology. Bigfoot Biomedical, a US-based medical technology company, specializes in solutions that integrate with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices.
