Italy Diabetes Care Devices Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Italy Diabetes Care Devices Market Analysis

The Italy Diabetes Care Devices Market size is estimated at USD 1.03 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.45 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.70% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Within the first year since its inception, the COVID-19 pandemic has been responsible for premature deaths, particularly among older individuals. Italy was the first country in Europe affected by COVID-19. Italy is among the countries with the highest excess mortality. Most people who have died of COVID-19 were affected by the co-occurrence of two or more chronic conditions in the same individual. Several studies have confirmed that chronic diseases like diabetes are associated with adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted Italy's diabetes care devices. The pandemic highlighted opportunities for continuing and expanding innovations in the delivery of diabetes care, through virtual consultations between healthcare providers and people with diabetes, and the use of diabetes technology. Crisis management has created unprecedented interest in remote care from both patients and providers and removed many long-standing regulatory barriers. Thus, the COVID-19 outbreak increased the diabetes care device market's growth.

About 9.9% of the Italian population has diabetes as of 2021. The rate of newly diagnosed Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes cases is seen to increase, mainly due to obesity, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. The rapidly increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetic patients and healthcare expenditure are indications of the increasing usage of diabetic care products. In May 2021, the World Health Assembly agreed on a Resolution on strengthening the prevention and control of diabetes. It recommends action in areas including increasing access to insulin; promoting convergence and harmonization of regulatory requirements for insulin and other medicines and health products for the treatment of diabetes; and assessing the feasibility and potential value of establishing a web-based tool to share information relevant to the transparency of markets for diabetes medicines and health products.

Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period.
