DUBLIN, Jan. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/jmxjbs/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Self-monitoring Blood Glucose Devices Market 2015-2019" report to their offering.

The global self-monitoring blood glucose devices market to grow at a CAGR of 10.47% over the period 2014-2019.

Global Self-monitoring Blood Glucose Devices Market 2015-2019, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the landscape of the market and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Self-monitoring blood glucose device is a home-based electronic device. It consists of a glucose sensor and a transmitter that transmits information about glucose levels through radiowaves from the sensor to a receiver, where it is displayed. The regular usage of self-monitoring blood glucose devices can improve self-management of diabetes and prompt an individual to undergo proper diabetes treatment.

Though diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition, it can be controlled with proper medication, and dietary and lifestyle management. Most people prefer SMBG devices for convenient monitoring of blood glucose levels. Moreover, regular blood glucose testing is the cornerstone of effective diabetes management. Usage of blood glucose test strips and meters at home can help patients obtain an accurate blood glucose level reading within few seconds. This trend is anticipated to have a significant impact on the SMBG devices market.

According to the report, according to WHO, the number of people aged 60 and above will increase tremendously by 2050. By 2030, more than 22% of the world's population will be over 65 years. Almost one-third of the elderly people over the age of 65 are affected by diabetes. The Americas is reported to have a high elderly population, which is estimated to grow at a minimal rate by 2050. Similarly, in Europe, the elderly population will increase by 2050 because of an increase in life expectancy and advances in the healthcare industry. The percentage of the elderly population in APAC is low, including China and India. However, the region will have the largest aging population by 2050.

Further, the report states that the presence of alternative methods of glucose monitoring could hinder the growth of the SMBG devices market.
