The global insulin patch pumps market size is expected to reach USD 1.7 Billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 10.9% over the forecast period. The market is primarily driven by factors such as increasing diabetic population and rising awareness about advanced diabetes management solutions. Moreover, technological advancements and several product launches in the field of insulin patch pumps are further augmenting growth.

Patch pumps are easy to use and more convenient than conventional insulin pumps. In addition, they are more affordable than conventional insulin pumps and are rapidly capturing a significant share of the insulin patch pumps market. Key players are using novel technologies and offer user-friendly insulin delivery solutions at lower prices. This is expected to increase the frequency of product launches during the forecast period, boosting overall growth.

Increasing healthcare expenditure related to diabetes and rising number of FDA approvals are further aiding growth. For instance, in March 2019, a South Korean Company-EoFlow-received FDA approval for its newly designed patch pump-EoPatch in the U.S.
