Glucose Biosensors Market Report, By Type (Electrochemical Biosensors, Nanomechanical Biosensors, Optical Biosensors, Piezoelectric Biosensors, Thermal Biosensors), Gender, Point Of Sale and Geography - Global Market Share, Trend Analysis & Forecast

Glucose biosensors are extensively being used for measuring concentration of glucose in diabetic patients. Proteins including nucleic acids, enzymes, and others are some of the popularly used biosensors to understand the glucose levels in a patient. The global glucose biosensors market is experiencing a growth spurt due to increasing number of diabetic patients across the globe. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that about 347 million people are diagnosed with high blood sugar levels across the globe. In light of this statistic, the organization also states that diabetes is expected to be the leading cause of death by the end of 2030. Needless to say that the increasing prevalence of diabetes in the world is likely to be the primary growth driver for the global glucose biosensors market in the near future.

Glucose Biosensors Market Trends

• Increasing incidence of diabetes across the globe is expected to be a key factor driving market growth. Diabetes is one of the most commonly occurring diseases worldwide 
• Rising prevalence of diabetes globally is a major factor attributing towards the growth of this market. Blood glucose monitoring is being used as a necessary tool in diabetes management
• Furthermore, the growing demand for self-monitoring devices has augmented the use of biosensors, especially in portable forms
• Glucose sensors are now available as small and minimally invasive devices that measure glucose levels even in outpatient settings

Glucose Biosensors Market Outlook

• The introduction of technological advancements is expected to play an integral role in boosting usage rates. This is evident from the development of minimal and non-invasive glucose biosensors in the market
• Several companies, including small and major, players are involved in extensive R&D initiatives to develop less painful, cost-effective, more accurate, and reliable products. 
• For instance, NovioSense, a glucose sensor manufacturing company in the Netherlands, has developed a non-invasive sensor to monitor glucose levels in tears
• However, the presence of alternative methods, such as laboratories tests, for monitoring of glucose levels in the blood are expected to hinder glucose biosensors market growth over the forecast period

Glucose Biosensors Market COVID-19 Impact

The global pandemic of Coronavirus (COVID-19) has triggered stock market instability, tight border controls, and worldwide lockdown, leading the healthcare industry, as well as large companies and governments, to restock supply chains.
