According to a new report by iData Research Inc. (http://www.idataresearch.net), the leading global authority in medical device and pharmaceutical market research, the European market for diabetes diagnosis, treatment and drug delivery is expected to reach almost ?8 billion by 2019. Changing reimbursements policies and new products such as insulin pumps and an artificial pancreas system are shaping this growing market.

Approval of New Insulin Pump Types to Fuel Pump Market Growth

There are three main methods for insulin delivery; insulin syringes, insulin pens and insulin pumps. In Europe, insulin pens dominate the insulin delivery market, with approximately 90% of the insulin dependant population using pens in most countries. Traditional insulin pumps have been available in Europe since the late 1970?s, however adoption has been slow due to lack of education and poor reimbursement rates.
