Insulin Pumps Market (By Product, Key Companies) – Industry Trends, Size, Growth and Forecast to 2028

An insulin pump is a wearable medical device that delivers insulin underneath the skin. Insulin pumps are mostly small, computerized devices that are roughly the size of a juice box or a deck of cards. They serve as an alternative to  frequent insulin injections

Untapped Commercial Opportunities Among Both Type I and Type II Diabetic Patients

Diabetes is a silent epidemic that claims millions of lives each year. It is touted as a pandemic of unprecedented magnitude that is spiraling out of control. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the total number of people living with diabetes globally is projected to rise to 643 million by 2030 and 783 million by 2045.

People with insulin-dependent diabetes need a continuous supply of insulin. There are two types of insulin therapy practiced today - multiple daily injections (MDI) therapy using syringes or insulin pens and pump therapy using insulin pumps. As per estimates approximately 40% of the Type 1 diabetes patients in the United States and even less of the international Type 1 diabetes patients use insulin pump therapy. An even smaller share of the U.S. and international insulin-intensive type 2 diabetes patients use insulin pump therapy, which presents significant opportunities for the stakeholders globally.

“…… Insulin administration through injections is expected to remain the standard of care across developed markets and emerging markets. However, in developed markets, the penetration of insulin pumps over the next decade is expected to reach ~55-60% for T1 diabetes patients and ~20-25% for T2 insulin-intensive diabetes patients…”

Insulin Pumps Market - Constraints/Challenges

Relatively lower cost of injections vs insulin pumps, patients feeling of ‘wearing the disease’ with insulin pumps, simplicity/ease of use of injections vs insulin pumps technology, and sufficient control achieved through the use of injections are some of the key factors that favor the preference of administering insulin through injections vs insulin pumps.

Organic and Inorganic Growth Strategies Adopted by Players to Establish Their Foothold in the Market  

The players operating in this market are adopting organic and inorganic growth strategies such as obtaining approvals from regulatory bodies, launching new products, making strategic investments, and pursuing mergers and acquisitions to enhance their market position and broaden their customer base. For instance, 

• In Aug 2023, Modular Medical, a development-stage insulin delivery technology company seeking to launch the next generation of user-friendly and affordable insulin pump technology announced a collaboration under which Phillips-Medisize (a MedTech CDMO) will be providing Modular Medical with design, development, and high-volume manufacturing capabilities
• In February 2023, Insulet Corporation, a global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology acquired assets related to Bigfoot’s pump-based automated insulin delivery (AID) technologies. In the same month, Insulet Corporation acquired the assets of Automated Glucose Control LLC (AGC), a company focused on developing and commercializing automated insulin delivery technology

The Insulin Pumps Market is anticipated to gather increased momentum in the upcoming years owing to the advantages offered by insulin pumps coupled with the use of continuous glucose monitoring technology and automated insulin device (“AID”) algorithms, and increased awareness of insulin pump therapy.
