Nemaura Medical Inc. has signed an exclusive license and distribution agreement with Al-Danah Medical Co. for the commercial launch of sugarBEAT in Qatar in readiness for 2019 launch.
Qatar, has one of the world’s highest prevalence of diabetes, with 17 percent of the population diabetic and 23 percent pre-diabetic,1 and also has the world’s highest GDP per capita, and therefore represents a significant market for sugarBEAT. Al-Danah Medical Company, part of the Almana Group, is a medical product distributor in Qatar, representing multiple global brands.
Current global CGM usage rates are low and growing rapidly. The United States is the largest single market, where CGM is being used by an estimated 2.6 percent (630,000 users) of all diagnosed diabetics in 2018, representing annualised growth of 117 percent. SugarBEAT is expected to receive CE Mark approval shortly and launch in the United Kingdom, an addresable market for CGM estimated at $1.38 billion per annum. The global addressable market for CGM is estimated at $82 billion annually.2
