The Evolving CGM Landscape and GS1’s Strategic Expansion in Europe
-
CGM Industry Trends: From Diabetes Care to Holistic Health Management
The global Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) market is undergoing a paradigm shift. While early adoption focused on Type 1 diabetes, advancements in non-invasive technology and cost reduction are driving demand among Type 2 diabetics and even non-diabetic populations812. Key trends include:
-
Expansion to Non-Diabetic Users: Devices like Abbott’s Lingo target metabolic health optimization, offering insights into glucose responses to diet, exercise, and sleep.
-
OTC Accessibility: Over-the-counter CGM products are emerging, empowering users to monitor glucose without prescriptions.
The GS1 CGM, developed by SIBIONICS, aligns with these trends. Its non-invasive sensor and long-term wearability make it ideal for both diabetic management and preventive health monitoring16.

Europe’s CGM Market: Growth Drivers and GS1’s Entry
Europe represents a high-growth CGM market, driven by rising diabetes prevalence and demand for non-invasive solutions. For instance, Saudi Arabia’s diabetic population exceeds 4.2 million, creating urgent needs for advanced glucose management tools.
GS1’s Strategic Success in the Middle East: SIBIONICS partnered with ProMedEx to launch GS1 in Saudi Arabia, addressing local healthcare gaps through:
-
Real-Time Data Integration: Enables remote monitoring for physicians, critical in regions with limited medical infrastructure.
-
Cost-Effective Design: Eliminates recurring expenses for test strips, reducing long-term patient costs.
This expansion mirrors Europe’s demand for innovative CGM solutions. Analysts predict the European CGM market will grow at a CAGR of 12.3% through 2027, with non-invasive devices like GS1 leading adoption.

AGP Reports: Bridging Data and Clinical Decisions
The Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) is a cornerstone of CGM utility. For GS1 users, AGP metrics like Time-in-Range (TIR) and glycemic variability provide actionable insights:
-
TIR Optimization: Studies show 86.8% TIR in Type 2 diabetics using CGM, significantly reducing complication risks.
-
Personalized Interventions: Physicians leverage AGP data to tailor insulin dosing and lifestyle recommendations
By integrating AGP analytics, GS1 enhances both patient self-management and clinical outcomes, positioning it as a leader in data-driven diabetes care
