Biosensors are analytical instruments that convert biological reactions from cells, tissues, organisms, and enzymes into electrical signals to detect target chemicals or analytes. A typical biosensor consists of a bioreceptor that recognizes explicitly the analyte and a transducer that converts the bio-recognition event into a measurable signal. These small instruments are used in multidisciplinary applications such as medical applications, agriculture, environmental monitoring, food control, and biomedical research.


The incidence of chronic disorders such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is growing across the globe. The surge in prevalence has increased the demand for medical devices in the diagnosis of the underlying disease among the population across hospitals and clinical settings. Additionally, an increase in the presence of diagnostic devices equipped with biosensors aids in rapid, accurate, and pain-free diagnosis of diseases among patients, which boosts the growth of the market. Moreover, the rise in collaborations among semiconductor and medical device companies to develop such devices with sensor platforms to achieve high-precision detection across several applications further propels the growth of the global market.



  • For instance, in September 2020, Abbott introduced the Libre Sense glucose sport biosensor for athletes to continuously measure glucose levels, enhancing their understanding of the correlation between glucose levels and athletic performance.


The COVID-19 pandemic spurred market growth in 2020, prompting a shift from laboratory-based diagnostics to point-of-care diagnostics across health settings and home care, accelerating the adoption of these products among industry players. The rise in at-home/self-testing during the post-pandemic time and the high demand for biosensors-enabled products in home settings further augmented the market growth in 2021.


Biosensors Market Trends


Increasing Device Deployment for Diabetes Monitoring


The prevalence of diabetes and associated complications is rising among the population across the globe. Owing to the high prevalence, the demand for early disease diagnosis and monitoring is increasing among the population. Biosensors aid in accurate diabetes diagnosis and monitoring for efficient treatment and management among diabetic patients due to their potential advantages, such as accurate estimation of insulin sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and user-friendliness.



  • According to an article published by MDPI in 2023, the conventional laboratory analytical techniques for insulin detection are time-consuming, expensive, and lack real-time monitoring capability, as compared to offering point-of-care tests and continuous monitoring by these products.


Thus, the rising emphasis on R&D by industry players aiming toward continuous insulin-monitoring biosensors in combination with existing glucose biosensors is expected to propel the adoption of these products in the market. Moreover, the increasing adoption of electrochemical-based continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices among patients is further augmenting the growth of the market.



  • According to a second-quarter report published by Abbott in July 2021, the FreeStyle Libre, an integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) system, is used by more than 3.0 million population worldwide.
