The global insulin pump market is expected to see double-digit growth, reaching $5.1bn in 2024, with product launches expected by Medtronic, Insulet, Tandem and smaller players in 2021. 

Tandem Diabetes Care received FDA clearance for its Control-IQ technology for use with Tandem's t:slim X2 insulin pump and Dexcom's G6 continuous glucose monitoring system, making it the first hybrid closed-loop system to deliver automatic correction boluses and adjust background insulin levels to help prevent high and low blood sugars.

The insulin pump market, which is dominated by four major players, is facing rising competition from smaller, innovative companies. This second part of a two-part series focuses on five emerging companies: Beta Bionics, Bigfoot Biomedical, Diabeloop, EOFlow and Ypsomed.

The insulin pump market is expected to grow to $5.1bn by 2023, driven by the increasing incidence of diabetes and adoption of next-generation hybrid closed-loop systems, which allow patients and health-care providers to better manage care. This first part of a two-part series highlights the rising competitive landscape of the four major players, Medtronic, Insulet, Tandem Diabetes Care and Valeritas, with insights from endocrinologists. The second part will look at the smaller players, which are gearing up to introduce new products in 2020.
