Retail Pharmacy: Top Distribution Channel of Blood Glucose Test Strips 

In terms of distribution channel, the retail pharmacy segment is projected to account for a dominant share of the global blood glucose test strips market during the forecast period. The segment is likely to expand at a CAGR of around 2.5% from 2018 to 2026 owing to the increase in the base of retail pharmacy and easy availability of all price range of test strips. The hospital pharmacy segment accounted for 16.0% share of the global blood glucose test strips market, in terms of value, in 2017. The segment is projected to lose market share during the forecast period owing to the increase in self-care testing to monitor blood glucose level.

Asia Pacific to Expand at Considerable Pace and Create High Incremental Opportunity 

In terms of value, North America held a major share of the global market in 2017. This is due to high health care expenditure and presence of large players such as F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., who dominated the market. However, the region is projected to lose market share during the forecast period, due to the high pricing pressure of test strips and increase in gray market of blood glucose test strips.

Rise in incidence of type 1 diabetes, improving economy, and favorable reimbursement support from the government for test strips in Australia, India, and other countries in Southeast Asia are driving the blood glucose test strips market in Asia Pacific. Moreover, rise in awareness of self-care testing to check diabetes level in order to control diabetes further boosts the demand for blood glucose test strips in the region. This, in turn, is likely to fuel the market in Asia Pacific. According to the International Diabetes Federation, a 72% increase is expected in the number of diabetes patients in Middle East & Africa from 2017 to 2025. This would make the region a lucrative market for diabetes devices. This factor is anticipated to propel the global blood glucose test strips market in Middle East & Africa. The market in the region is expected to expand at a CAGR of around 3.0% from 2018 to 2026.

High Cost of Test Strips to Hamper Market 

High price of the test strips makes the overall cost of treatment significantly expensive, as patients with diabetes are required to test four to eight times a day, depending on the diabetes type, in order to monitor their blood glucose levels. Therefore, several patients are eager to buy generic strips, as they are less expensive as compared to branded ones. For example, Abbott Laboratories' Freestyle Lite test strips cost around US$ 30 to US$ 75 for a box 50 strips, whereas Walmart's generic ReliOn test strips cost US$ 20 for 50 strips.

Channel Technology to Lose Market Share 

The report offers detailed segmentation of the global blood glucose test strips market based on technology and distribution. Based on technology, the wicking technology segment is projected to dominate the global market due to presence of major players in the segment. The segment is expected to hold 69.4% share of the market by the end of 2026, a rise from 67.6% of the market in 2017. However, the channel technology segment is expected to lose market share during the forecast period owing to more focus of major players on the development of strips through wicking technology owing to some limitation in channel technology such as large blood sample is required for testing and longer time required to provide result.
