Market Overview

Diabetes mellitus, also known as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a persistently high blood sugar level. Common symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased appetite. Diabetes, if untreated, can cause a slew of health problems. Acute complications include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemia, and death. Long-term consequences include cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic renal disease, foot ulcers, nerve damage, eye damage, and cognitive impairment. Diabetes is classified into three types: type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Diabetes devices or diabetes care devices are thus the devices used to monitor patients' diabetic conditions. The market is primarily driven by factors such as an increase in the prevalence of obesity and technological advancements. Furthermore, rising diabetes prevalence and increased use of insulin-delivery devices are driving market growth.

Restraining Factors

Diabetes devices such as insulin pens and insulin pumps have some drawbacks. As such, before a product can be commercialized, regulatory organizations in various areas must identify potential hazards. Insulin pumps are mostly used to treat type 1 diabetes, but they can cause complications such as pump failure, insulin stability issues, and infusion site problems.

Market Segment

• In 2022, the self-monitoring blood glucose devices segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the monitoring devices, the South Korean diabetes care devices market is segmented into self-monitoring blood glucose devices and continuous glucose monitoring devices. Among these, the self-monitoring blood glucose devices segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Diabetes is a serious health issue and one of the most difficult challenges confronting South Korean healthcare systems. The frequency with which glucose levels are monitored is determined by the type of diabetes, which varies from patient to patient. Type 1 diabetics must check their blood glucose levels at regular intervals, monitor them, and adjust their insulin doses accordingly. 

• In 2022, the cartridges in reusable pens segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the management devices, the South Korean Diabetes Care Devices market is segmented into insulin pumps, insulin disposable pens, insulin syringes, cartridges in reusable pens, and jet injectors. Among these, the cartridges in the reusable pens segment have the largest revenue share over the forecast period. Insulin cartridges in reusable pens are a more advanced form of insulin vials. Most insulins are available in the form of cartridges, making them easily accessible. These devices have all of the functional benefits of reusable pens and are more cost-effective in the long run because these cartridges are less expensive than disposable insulin pens.  These insulin cartridges are thought to be more user-friendly because they are smaller and less visible than the traditional vial and syringe. Additionally, these devices are more portable for consumers. Open cartridges do not need to be refrigerated, making storage very convenient for consumers.
