Overview
The Global Glucose Tolerance Test Market is expected to grow at CAGR of 10.4% to reach USD 46,815.0 Million till 2023. A glucose tolerance test measures how well a body’s cells is capable to engross glucose, or sugar, after a patient consume a given amount of sugar. Doctors and specialists use fasting blood sugar levels and haemoglobin A1c values to identify type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and pre-diabetes whereas a glucose tolerance test can also be used. Doctors primarily use a glucose tolerance test to diagnose gestational diabetes in patients. The factors that are anticipated to propel the growth of the global glucose tolerance test market are increasing prevalence and incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM), innovation in technology, research funding in diabetes diagnosis & treatment, and rising awareness & screening for diabetes mellitus. However, the stringent reimbursement and insurance policies in developing nations, high-cost associated with diagnosis and treatment of diabetes can hamper the market growth in coming future.
Market Dynamics
Rising prevalence and incidence of diabetes mellitus, technological innovations, research funding in diabetes diagnosis & treatment, and awareness & screening for diabetes mellitus are the factors that drive the growth of glucose tolerance tests market. For instance, according to report published by WHO, in 2016, 1.6 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes worldwide. Also, according to the diabetes prevalence figures suggested by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than 5.1% of the Australian population diagnosed with diabetes in 2016. Various government and private associations in developed and some developing countries are contributing towards diabetes research and prevention programs. Various researchers have pioneered new devices to diagnose and treat diabetes, which on their own have significant market potential. The main aim of these association is to support and encourage research in the field of diabetes with the rapid diffusion of acquired knowledge to facilitate its application. The spending on diabetes care research ultimately leads to the healthcare delivery.
