Blood glucose monitoring devices (BGMD) are used to measure blood glucose levels in diabetes patients. These devices help in analyzing glucose level patterns by providing continuous and real-time readings. This guides patients in deciding food intake and insulin dosage. Furthermore, factors such as sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy habits like consumption of junk food and alcohol as well as smoking, and need for safer and faster diagnosis will propel market growth over the forecast period.
Obesity is also one of the major factors attributed to the growing prevalence of diabetes. According to WHO, over 650 million people were obese in 2016 and this number is expected to grow further during the course of the forecast period. The market is also expected to be fueled by continuous efforts for diabetes control by governments and healthcare organizations such as the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Such organizations provide required expertise and support diabetes awareness campaigns through a network of stakeholders and partners. Increasing healthcare funding for research and development of effective and affordable devices will also contribute to market growth.
