REPORT DESCRIPTION
Glucose Sensor Market – Overview
Glucose sensors are inserted under skin to measure glucose (sugar) levels. These sensors are connected wirelessly
to the continuous glucose monitoring system. They offer data to the monitoring system or smart compatible
devices that aid to track the level of blood glucose in a patient at regular intervals.
Increasing number of pipeline studies to develop new glucose sensors is expected to boost the glucose sensor
market growth. For instance, in April 2018, University of California San Diego, in collaboration with National
Institutes of Health (NIH), initiated the clinical study for adhesive glucose sensor to measure sweat glucose of
patients with diabetes. The main aim of this clinical study is to explore the accuracy and acceptability of a non-
invasive, wearable glucose sensor in patients living with Diabetes Mellitus. The study is estimated to be
completed by June 2019.
Moreover, new product launches for measuring blood glucose levels is also expected to contribute to growth of
the glucose sensor market size. For instance, in December 2018, Nemaura Medical Inc., a medical technology
company developing sugarBEAT, signed licensing and distribution agreement with Doha-based Al-Danah Medical
Co. to commercially launch sugarBEAT in Qatar by 2019. sugarBEAT is the first painless, non-invasive
continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for use by diabetic and pre-diabetic patients.
