Research and Markets: Global Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market 2014-2018: Emerging Artificial Pancreas TechnologyDUBLIN --(Business Wire)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/clrvpl/global_continuous) has announced the addition of the "Global Continuous Glucose Monitoring Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Continuous Glucose Monitoring market to grow at a CAGR of 14.74% over the period 2013-2018 Continuous glucose monitoring is the measurement of glucose levels at regular intervals from a diabetic patient. Continuous glucose monitoring systems allow to gain insight into the trends of glucose levels between fingersticks, resulting in improved glucose control. Continuous glucose monitoring system comprises of a glucose sensor that is placed subcutaneously to provide the reading of glucose levels in tissue fluid. A transmitter sends information about the glucose levels using radio waves from the sensor to a receiver display. Continuous glucose monitoring system also offers additional information about HbA1C levels and fructosamine levels. The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospcts of the Global Continuous Glucose Monitoring market for the period 2014-2018. In terms of component, the Global Continuous Glucose Monitoring market is divided into three segments: Transmitters and Receivers, Glucose Sensors, and Insulin Pumps. One key trend emerging in the market is the use of artificial pancreas technology in continuous glucose monitoring systems. The artificial pancreas is a closed-loop insulin delivery system that mimics the functions of a healthy pancreas in the human body by continuously monitoring glucose levels and automatically adjusting insulin delivery with minimal or no patient interaction. According to the report, one of the main drivers in this market is the rise in the incidence of diabetes across the population worldwide. Diabetes is also a cause of co-morbidities such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness, and other debilitating diseases. The demand for continuous glucose monitoring has increased as diabetics look for ways to gain control over their glucose levels and manage them better. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is the presence of alternative methods of glucose monitoring. Blood glucose meters, test strips, and lancets, which are widely used in glucose monitoring products, can pose a hindrance to the adoption and growth in the popularity of continuous glucose monitoring systems.
