By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

The global insulin pump market is experiencing significant growth, driven by technological advancements and increasing diabetes prevalence. As reported by Grand View Research, the market was valued at USD 6.05 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8.22% from 2024 to 2030, reflecting the rising adoption of innovative diabetes management solutions.

Modular Medical’s Manufacturing Move

In a move that’s sure to spice up the insulin pump manufacturing scene, Modular Medical announced today, August 7, that it is packing its bags and heading south of the border. The company has begun transferring its pilot line manufacturing operations to a Phillips Medisize site in Queretaro, Mexico. Trusted for nearly 60 years, Phillips Medisize, a Molex company, is a global leader in front-end design, development and manufacturing solutions for highly regulated industries — pharma, in vitro diagnostics, med tech, consumer, automotive and defense.

Insulin Pump Market Growth


The insulin pump market is experiencing robust growth, with a valuation of USD 6.05 billion in 2023 and a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.22% from 2024 to 2030. This expansion is driven by technological advancements, increasing diabetes prevalence, and a growing elderly population. Key players in the market include Medtronic (MDT), Abbott Laboratories (ABT), Roche Diagnostics & Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc (TNDM). The global diabetes care devices market is expected to reach USD 52.34 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 12.22% from 2024 to 2029. This growth is fueled by rising healthcare spending, increased awareness about diabetes management, and the development of innovative devices like continuous glucose monitors and automated insulin delivery systems.

Trends in Diabetes Care

Recent advancements in diabetes care technology have led to the development of innovative devices like the t:slim X2 Insulin Pump with Control-IQ Technology from Tandem Diabetes Care, which integrates with Dexcom (DXCM) G6 & G7 CGM to predict and prevent hypoglycemia without finger sticks. The FDA has also approved the world’s smallest durable automated insulin delivery system, the Tandem Mobi, for ages 6 and up, which is fully controllable from a mobile app. Other notable innovations include the FDA-cleared Beta Bionics iLet Bionic Pancreas, which uses an adaptive closed-loop algorithm initialized only with the user’s body weight, eliminating the need for manual adjustments of insulin pump settings. Other cutting-edge developments include smart insulin pens with connectivity features, implantable devices for long-term medication delivery, and advancements in non-invasive insulin delivery methods such as oral and transdermal routes. As the global insulin pump market continues to grow, projected to reach $10.3 billion by 2032, these innovative technologies are poised to significantly enhance diabetes care and management. These developments reflect a growing trend towards more user-friendly, efficient, and technologically advanced diabetes management solutions, addressing the needs of the estimated 29.7 million people in the U.S. diagnosed with diabetes as of 2021.

MODD1 Is Making FDA Progress


On Friday, August, 2, 2024, Modular Medical confirmed that they had taken the next step in their FDA process where they submitted their response to The FDA’s questions. The FDA has 30-days from their August 2nd submission to respond with a second set of questions or to clear the device.  See the detailed process outlined above from Modular Medical’s presentation that was updated this past Friday.
