Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is a medical technology that continuously measures glucose levels in real time throughout the day and night using a small sensor placed under the skin. It assists people with diabetes in managing their condition by providing ongoing data and alerts for high or low blood sugar levels.
The key components of continuous glucose monitoring systems include transmitters, sensors, and receivers. Transmitters are devices that send signals, such as radio waves or electrical impulses, from one point to another for communication or control. These systems are utilized by both adults and children and cater to a range of end users, including hospitals, home care environments, diagnostic centers, clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
Tariffs have influenced the continuous glucose monitoring market by increasing the cost of imported sensors, transmitters, and wearable receivers, particularly affecting advanced and real-time monitoring systems. Regions such as North America and Asia-Pacific, where significant imports occur, are most impacted. This has led to higher device costs and delayed adoption in certain markets. On the positive side, tariffs encourage local manufacturing, innovation in sensor technology, and investment in domestic supply chains, which can improve long-term market resilience and accessibility.
The continuous glucose monitoring market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides continuous glucose monitoring market statistics, including continuous glucose monitoring industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a continuous glucose monitoring market share, detailed continuous glucose monitoring market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the continuous glucose monitoring industry. This continuous glucose monitoring market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The continuous glucose monitoring market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.44 billion in 2025 to $10.87 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to limited availability of real-time glucose monitoring devices, high cost of early cgms, growing awareness of diabetes management, dependence on finger-prick testing, increasing hospital adoption of monitoring solutions.
The continuous glucose monitoring market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.86 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancement in implantable and wearable sensors, integration with mobile health and telemedicine platforms, rising prevalence of diabetes globally, development of non-invasive glucose monitoring technology, expansion of home healthcare and remote patient monitoring services. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of continuous glucose monitoring devices among diabetic patients, development of minimally invasive and implantable sensors, integration of real-time data analytics and alert systems, expansion of home-based monitoring and telehealth solutions, rising demand for pediatric and geriatric glucose monitoring solutions.
The increasing prevalence of diabetes is expected to drive the growth of the continuous glucose monitoring market in the coming years. Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body either produces insufficient insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces, leading to elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels. This rise in diabetes cases is mainly due to unhealthy diets rich in sugars, fats, and processed foods, which contribute to obesity and impaired insulin function. Continuous glucose monitoring supports diabetes management by providing real-time blood sugar trends, allowing timely adjustments to diet, medication, and physical activity for better glucose control. For example, in November 2023, the American Diabetes Association, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, reported that in 2022, approximately 25.5 million people in the U.S.-about 7.6% of the population-were diagnosed with diabetes, marking a 3% increase compared to previous years. Thus, the rising prevalence of diabetes is fueling growth in the continuous glucose monitoring market.
Leading companies in the continuous glucose monitoring market are focusing on developing innovative products such as sensor-based glucose monitors to improve accuracy, real-time tracking, and patient convenience. Sensor-based glucose monitors continuously measure blood sugar levels using a small sensor inserted under the skin. For example, in August 2024, DexCom, Inc., a U.S.-based healthcare company, launched Stelo, the first over-the-counter (OTC) continuous glucose monitor (CGM) designed for adults who do not use insulin. Stelo provides real-time, 24/7 glucose readings via a small sensor worn on the back of the upper arm, sending data directly to a smartphone without the need for a prescription or fingersticks. The device offers personalized insights and trend analysis, helping users understand how factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep affect their glucose levels, enabling smarter lifestyle decisions. The sensor lasts up to 15 days, integrates with health apps, and is ideal for people with Type 2 diabetes not using insulin, those with prediabetes, or anyone monitoring their glucose health.
In September 2023, Abbott Laboratories, a U.S.-based healthcare company, acquired Bigfoot Biomedical for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Abbott seeks to strengthen its position in diabetes care by enhancing its Freestyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring technology and advancing connected solutions to make diabetes management more personalized and precise. Bigfoot Biomedical Inc., also based in the U.S., is a medical technology company that provides a diabetes management system integrating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology.
