Diabetes is a chronic disease, occurs when the body unable to produce insulin or when the level of glucose rises above a certain limit. Blood glucose monitors are primarily used to control/monitor the blood glucose level on day to day basis. This research involves the study for a wide range of blood glucose brands available commercially. Blood glucose monitor industry offers lucrative business opportunities for companies due to technological advancements, increased acceptance of home healthcare, and cost-effective alternatives compared to hospital visits. The market for blood glucose monitors is expected to experience steady growth owing to the continuous rise in the incidence of diabetes across the globe. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 422 million patients had diabetes across the globe in 2014.

While the numbers of diabetes population are climbing rapidly, creating awareness among the physicians about complete diabetes care is also essential. Increasing health awareness among patients has led to an increased demand for blood glucose monitors. Patients have realized the need to monitor the glucose level in blood at regular intervals to avoid any complications due to irregular food habits. Moreover, with increasing self-medication trends, patients are now turning to self-monitoring with the advent of more and more portable diagnostic and monitoring devices for various health conditions. Moreover, lack of time has further propelled the decision to monitor the health at home. Such factors have contributed significantly towards the growth of the market in many emerging countries. However, rising preference for alternative products such as the continuous blood glucose monitoring devices (CGM) and HbA1c testing devices are hindering the market growth.
