Blood ketone meters are devices that are used to measure the levels of ketones in the blood of people with diabetes, specifically 3-beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-OHB). These meters are particularly important for people with type 1 diabetes because they are at a higher risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) due to low insulin levels. Ketones are produced when the body breaks down fats for energy, and excessive production can lead to ketoacidosis, which can be dangerous to the organs. Normal blood ketone values are below 0.6mmol/L, while values above 3.0mmol/L are considered dangerous and require immediate medical attention. It is recommended that people with type 1 diabetes use blood ketone meters to monitor their ketone levels when their blood sugar is over 17mmol/l or if they are unwell and experiencing symptoms of ketoacidosis. However, it is important to note that ketone testing should not be used for weight loss purposes, and the test strips provided by GP should not be used for this purpose.

Market Dynamics

The global blood ketone meter market is anticipated to develop as a result of rising diabetic ketoacidosis instances and rising diabetes incidence. In 2021, diabetes is the cause of 6.7 million fatalities, or one every five seconds. For instance, according to the International Diabetes Federation Report, 2021, around 537 million adults in the age group 20 to 79 years were suffering from diabetes worldwide in 2021, and is estimated to reach 783 million by 2045. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in March 2021, around 60 per 1,000 patients were hospitalized due to diabetic ketoacidosis in the U.S. from 2012 to 2018.

Moreover, several launches of blood glucose monitoring devices and approvals of funding for new blood ketone meters are also expected to boost growth of the blood ketone meter market over the forecast period. For instance, in March 2021, EKF Diagnostics (Entwicklung, Konstruktion und Fertigung) globally launched its STAT-Site WB handheld analyzer, a product that delivers β-ketone and glucose measurements from whole blood in seconds. The device can be used with arterial, venous, or capillary specimens from all patients including critically ill patients.
