Blood glucose monitoring helps diabetic patients to make daily management decisions such as food intake, insulin dose, and physical exercise. Self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) is a modern diabetes management procedure, which involves usage of blood glucose meters by patients to check their glucose levels quickly and provide an accurate measure of capillary glucose concentration. SMBG technology uses test strips, lancets, and blood glucose meters to achieve long-term glycemic control.
The self-monitoring blood glucose devices market is expected to witness a significant growth during the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to factors such as increase in incidence rate of diabetes and rise in risk factors that lead to diabetes. Moreover, technological advancements in the field of blood glucose monitoring devices and rise in geriatric population boost the self-monitoring blood glucose devices market growth. However, blood glucose monitoring devices do not measure the exact level of glucose in blood and can give inaccurate results, which hamper the market growth. Conversely, increase in awareness for diabetes monitoring devices is expected to provide significant opportunities for the growth of the market. Moreover, high growth potential in untapped markets for diabetes monitoring devices are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the global self-monitoring blood glucose devices market in the near future.
Though most of the self-monitoring blood glucose devices markets are witnessing decline in growth, COVID-19 outbreak has positively affected various healthcare-related markets, one of them being self-monitoring blood glucose devices.
