European Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems Market is Expected to Reach $792 Million, by 2022

Europe Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems Market Report, published by Allied Market Research, forecasts that the market was valued $58 million in 2015, and is expected to reach $792 million by 2022, supported by a CAGR of 44.9% during the forecast period 2016 - 2022. The sensors segment is anticipated to generate the highest revenue in this market during the forecast period.

The European CGMS market is expected to witness dynamic growth, owing to rise in per capita healthcare expenditure, increase in disposable income of individuals, and growth in prevalence rates of diabetes. In addition, CGMS has various advantages over conventional glucose monitors such as greater sensitivity, higher precision, and periodic monitoring. CGMS can be used across all age groups and various healthcare settings. Moreover, the technology is applicable in artificial/bionic pancreas; hence, several CGMS and insulin pump manufacturers focus on the development of novel and advanced CGMS. However, unfavorable reimbursement policies for CGMS hinder the market growth.

Sensors market contributed for the highest share of revenue in the CGMS market. In addition, the market is expected to witness the highest growth during the analysis period, as CGM sensors are changed frequently as compared to transmitters & receivers. As the percentage of adult population is high, this segment is estimated to generate the largest market revenue. However, owing to the growth in demand for CGM devices for children, the children population segment may grow at a higher CAGR.

Based on end-user market analysis, diagnostics/clinics contributed the highest share to the market revenue. The network of health insurers with the physicians operating at the diagnostics/clinics level is expected to drive the CGMS market in European diagnostics/clinics. However, high growth of the home healthcare segment is expected, as this segment is economic as compared to treatment from healthcare institutions. In addition, home healthcare would be the suitable solution for geriatric and children population who cannot visit the clinics for diabetes treatment.
