Japan Blood Glucose Monitoring Market Analysis
The Japan Blood Glucose Monitoring Market size is estimated at USD 0.87 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 1.21 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
As of April 2023, the JMDC database housed information from around 16 million patients, encompassing both healthy individuals and a specific subset dedicated to patients with diabetes mellitus. Individuals who have both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease in comparison to those with T2D but without metabolic syndrome.
While Type 1 diabetes is caused by an immune system malfunction, Type 2 diabetes is linked to leading a sedentary lifestyle, which results in the development of inherent resistance to insulin. Hence, Type 1 diabetes can be characterized as insulin-requiring, while Type 2 diabetes can be characterized as insulin-dependent diabetes. Japan has one of the largest elderly populations in the world which is more susceptible to the onset of type 2 diabetes. As Japan's population continues to age, the prevalence of diabetes increases as well. The monitoring and management of blood glucose levels are on the rise, to avoid negative consequences, such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney disorders, and many other conditions.
The rising number of diabetes cases in Japan is fueling the growth of the market for blood glucose devices in several ways. Firstly, as the prevalence of diabetes increases, there is a greater demand for blood glucose monitoring devices among individuals with the condition. This has led to an increased adoption of these devices, driving the market growth.
Secondly, the Japanese government has been actively promoting diabetes management and prevention programs, which has further contributed to the growth of the market. These programs often emphasize the importance of regular blood glucose monitoring, leading to an increased awareness and demand for blood glucose devices.
Additionally, advancements in technology have led to the development of more accurate and user-friendly blood glucose devices. These devices often come with features such as wireless connectivity, smartphone integration, and continuous glucose monitoring, making them more convenient and appealing to individuals with diabetes. The availability of such advanced devices has also contributed to the market growth.
Therefore, owing to the aforementioned factors the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period.
Japan Blood Glucose Monitoring Market Trends
Increasing Type-1 diabetes population across Japan
While Type 1 diabetes is caused by an immune system malfunction, Type 2 diabetes is linked to leading a sedentary lifestyle, resulting in inherent resistance to insulin. Hence, Type 1 diabetes can be characterized as insulin-requiring, while Type 2 diabetes can be characterized as insulin-dependent diabetes.
Japan has one of the largest elderly populations in the world, which is more susceptible to the onset of Type 2 diabetes. As Japan's population continues to age, the prevalence of diabetes also increases. Monitoring and managing blood glucose levels are on the rise to avoid negative consequences, such as cardiovascular diseases, kidney disorders, and many other conditions.
The rise in diabetes cases in Japan is thought to be due to an increase in the number of older adults, who are more vulnerable to disease, and an increase in obesity due to a lack of exercise and irregular eating habits. Another reason is that more people have been diagnosed with the disease after being directed to a medical facility based on the results of the metabolic syndrome examination, which was introduced in 2008 to prevent lifestyle-related diseases. Diabetes cases are expected to increase even further in the coming years as Japan's society ages.
As a result of the factors above, the growth of the studied market in Russia is anticipated.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring Holds Highest CAGR in Japan Blood Glucose Monitoring Market.
Diabetes is a complex and chronic disease that can cause blindness, neuropathy, kidney disease, myocardial infarction, or stroke. Patients must control their glucose levels daily to avoid aggravation and the onset of complications. Apps for real-time continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) on smartphones and other devices linked to CGM systems have recently been developed, and such CGM apps are also being used in Japan. Compared to traditional retrospective CGM, using CGM apps improves patients' blood glucose control, which is expected to help slow the progression of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and prevent complications.
Continuous glucose monitoring sensors use glucose oxidase to detect blood sugar levels. Glucose oxidase converts glucose to hydrogen peroxidase, which reacts with the platinum inside the sensor, producing an electrical signal to be communicated to the transmitter. Sensors are the most important part of continuous glucose monitoring devices. Technological advancements to improve the accuracy of the sensors are expected to drive segment growth during the forecast period.
Monthly dialysis medical costs average around 400,000 per person and around 1.6 trillion annually for the country, accounting for roughly 4% of all medical expenditures. It is, therefore, critical to improve the daily habits of those at risk of diabetes and to keep those who have already contracted the disease from worsening.
The increased diabetic prevalence in Russia and the above factors will likely drive segment growth during the forecast period.
