Assessing Insulin Pump Market Trends in the Durable Medical Equipment Channel

image001

Qsight’s HME/DME Purchasing Data provides clients with real-time intelligence into market share and purchasing insights in the non-acute medical device sector. We looked at our capture of insulin pumps from the top players to assess market share and market growth in the durable medical equipment channel.

  • Although Medtronic is the leader in the insulin pump market within the DME channel, Tandem Diabetes Care and Insulet are steadily gaining ground, having a combined market share of nearly 50% in 2022 Q2.
  • Medtronic’s Class I recall of their MiniMed 600 series insulin pumps paved the way for Tandem and Insulet to further penetrate the market at an accelerated rate.
  • On August 3rd, Tandem reported a weaker than anticipated 2022 Q2, attributing the lower growth rate to macro-economic conditions. Despite this, Tandem is dominating the insulin pump market when looking at growth across all manufacturers within the DME channel.
  • With Insulet’s Omnipod available in retail-only channels and Medtronic’s recent recall, the question remains if Tandem will eventually take over the DME space.
