When an investor examines the medical technology market, they look beyond the numbers to see not just market volume, but fundamental demand taking shape for years to come.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems are becoming an ever more visible segment of the glucose monitoring market, with Asia-Pacific standing out as one of its most promising areas of growth.
Numbers behind the scale of change
According to The Insight Partners, the Asia-Pacific market for continuous glucose monitoring devices amounted to $ 2.94 billion in 2024.
By 2031, the market is projected to reach $8.13 billion, reflecting a CAGR of 15.8% over 2025–2031.
That means the market could potentially grow by nearly 2.8 times over seven years.
The demand for CGM systems will keep growing
The market's growth is fueled by several factors at once: a rising number of people living with diabetes, the build-out of medical infrastructure, growing access to digital health technologies, and the gradual adoption of continuous glucose monitoring.
The Asia-Pacific region stands out in particular, home to such major markets as China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Southeast Asia. In 2024, China already accounted for the largest share of the region's CGM market.
The IDF Diabetes Atlas 2025 reports that in 2024, around 589 million adults aged 20 to 79 were living with diabetes worldwide. By 2050, the IDF expects the number to reach 852.5 million.
CGM is a technology with recurring demand
Unlike a one-time medical device purchase, CGM involves regularly replacing the sensor once its lifespan ends.
In some of today's systems, the sensor can last up to 14 days. When it expires, a new sensor is put in place, creating ongoing demand for consumables.
