Key Market Trends

Insulin Pumps are Expected to Witness Good Growth in the Market Over the Forecast Period

An insulin pump is a medical device used for administrating insulin in diabetic patients. The insulin pump consists of a pump, a disposable reservoir, and a disposable infusion set. The pump part consists of controls, a processing module, and batteries. The disposable reservoir holds the insulin inside the pump. The disposable infusion set consists of a cannula and a tubing system to connect the insulin reservoir to the cannula. Insulin pumps are relatively easy to carry and measure the exact quantity of the insulin to be delivered, which reduce the wastage of dose and achieve proper delivery of insulin to the patients. The smart mechanism of insulin pumps is a great boon to the world of diabetes.

Thus, insulin pumps achieve proper blood glucose control, without any complications related to hypoglycemia, wide fluctuations in blood glucose, and other side effects. Owing to the advantages mentioned above of using insulin pumps and the increasing prevalence of diabetes across the world, the insulin pump segment is expected to register growth over the forecast period.

United States is Expected to Among the Major Contributor in the Market Over the Forecast Period
