South Africa Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market Size (2024 - 2029)

South Africa Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market Analysis

The South Africa Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market size is estimated at USD 17.61 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 31.47 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.31% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

Patients with diabetes infected with COVID-19 experienced elevated blood glucose, abnormal glucose variability, and diabetic complications. The Western Cape Provincial Health Department's data on COVID-19 fatalities suggested that people with diabetes were more likely to die from COVID-19 than any other high-risk group. The provincial health department estimated that out of every 100 people within the public healthcare sector who died from COVID-19, 52 had diabetes. While new-onset hyperglycemia and new-onset diabetes have been increasingly recognized in the context of COVID-19 and have been associated with worse outcomes. To avoid aggravation, a patient's blood glucose should be monitored and maintained regularly.

The measurement of blood glucose is necessary to keep the blood glucose levels within a specified target range. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) helps understand the effectiveness of blood glucose metabolism and guides in achieving optimal glucose control within the body. Over time, the readings provided the patients and their health professionals with the information required to determine the best management strategy for diabetes.

Furthermore, the current continuous glucose monitoring can either retrospectively display the trends in the levels of blood glucose by downloading the data or give a real-time picture of glucose levels through receiver displays. The newest CGM models, the Abbott Freestyle Libre 3 and the Dexcom G7, overcame many technical barriers. Technological advances such as Eversense E3 CGMs have significantly improved the ability of providers and patients to manage diabetes, thereby enhancing the market prospects in the years to come.

South Africa Continuous Glucose Monitoring Industry Segmentation

Achieving optimum glycemic results can be very difficult without frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels. A continuous glucose monitor tracks blood sugar levels 24 hours a day. It collects readings automatically every five to 15 minutes and detects trends and patterns to provide a complete picture of diabetes. The South Africa continuous glucose monitoring market is segmented into components (sensors and durables (receivers and transmitters)). The report offers the value (in USD) and volume (in units) for the above segments.
