Non-invasive blood glucose monitoring, as its name implies, refers to the detection of human blood glucose without causing damage to human tissues. Non-invasive blood glucose monitoring devices offer an economical and pain-free method to monitor blood glucose levels compared to traditional finger-pricking methods. These devices work by scanning the blood vessels near the skin instead of drawing blood. Advancement in glucose sensing technologies, such as minimally-invasive micro needles, near infrared spectroscopy, and ultra wideband radar, have facilitated the development of non-invasive products that can closely mirror readings from invasive monitoring methods. This provides diabetics with greater convenience and compliance in managing their condition. Non-invasive blood glucose monitoring devices can be segmented on the basis of technology into EM waves, transdermal, optical, and enzymatic.
Market Dynamics:
The non-invasive blood glucose monitoring devices market is driven by the growing prevalence of diabetes worldwide as well as advancements in continuous glucose monitoring technologies. Many new players are entering the market with novel solutions that can help overcome the challenges with existing invasive methods like finger pricks. However, factors such as technical limitations in achieving high accuracy compared to reference methods, insufficient clinical validation, and slow regulatory approvals continue to restrain widespread adoption. Nonetheless, continued R&D focusing on improved algorithms and sensors offers promising opportunities for non-invasive solutions to become a viable alternative to conventional glucose tests.
Lack of knowledge and diagnosis are expected to hamper the growth of the global non-invasive blood glucose monitoring devices market over the forecast period.
