Daedal Research - Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market | Continuous Glucose Monitoring Size.

The report titled “Global Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market (CGM): Size, Trends & Forecasts (2016-2020)”, provides an in-depth analysis of the global CGM market. The report also gives an insight of the global CGM market by value, by penetration, by products, by components, by region, etc.

Executive Summary

Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a small glucose sensor (electrodes) inserted under the skin that keeps in check the glucose levels in interstitial fluid. The sensor stays in body for several days to a week before being replaced. A transmitter that is placed on the body sends information about the level of glucose via radio waves from the sensor to a wireless monitor that could be in the form of a wristband or it could be an app on the smartphone that allows the patient to view their glucose measurements. The CGM system basically has been designed to target the type1 diabetic population, for the early detection of hypo and hyperglycemia. The CGM system is made of three parts: a wireless monitor (receiver), a transmitter and a sensor. The CGM market has several advantages and disadvantages.

Global CGM market has increased at a significant CAGR during the years 2014-2015 and projections are made that the market would rise in the next four years i.e. 2016-2020 tremendously. The CGM market is expected to increase due to increasing population with type1 diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, rising population with obesity, etc. Yet, the market faces some challenges such as, intense competition in the market, lack of penetration in type 2 diabetes, lack of reliability and accuracy in data.
