North America Insulin Infusion Pumps Market Size

North America Insulin Infusion Pumps Market Analysis

The North America Insulin Infusion Pumps Market size is estimated at USD 2.80 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 3.78 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.18% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

In North America, till April 2022, the United States is having the highest COVID cases with 82 million, the country also registered the highest death rate. According to the Diabetes Voice article published in May 2020, close to 40,000 deaths of people who are having diabetes. In the North American region diabetes patients are more concerned about stocking up the monitoring and managing devices due to this the market increased during these years.

The North American region had witnessed an astounding increase in the prevalence of diabetes, in recent years. In developed countries, such as the United States and Canada, the rate of diabetes is at an all-time high, mainly due to lifestyle changes. Diabetes is associated with many health complications. Comparing the population with and without diabetes, those with diabetes have a 300% increased risk of being hospitalized and thus incur more healthcare expenses compared to non-diabetic people. 

Patients with Type 2 diabetes require many corrections throughout the day to maintain nominal blood glucose levels, such as administering additional insulin or ingesting additional carbohydrates. Furthermore, patients attempting to control their blood glucose levels tightly to prevent the long-term complications associated with fluctuations in blood glucose levels are at greater risk for overcorrection and the resultant hypoglycemia. Achieving nominal results can be very difficult without multiple daily injections of insulin or insulin pump therapy.

An insulin pump (also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin therapy) is a medical device used to administer insulin to treat diabetes. Insulin pumps make it possible to deliver continuous infusion amounts of insulin at regular intervals. It is predicted to result in long-term cost savings relative to multiple daily injections. 

The traditional pump includes the pump (including controls, a processing module, and batteries), a disposable reservoir for insulin (inside the pump), and a disposable infusion set, including a cannula for subcutaneous insertion (under the skin) and a tubing system to connect the insulin reservoir to the cannula. The device configuration may vary depending on the design. However, the application of infusion pumps is increasing significantly across the world.
