CHAPTER 1 - MARKET SUMMARY
Market Overview
The Oman Diabetes Devices Market operates through a recurring-consumables model spanning glucose meters, test strips, continuous glucose monitoring sensors, insulin pens, needles and pumps. Oman’s 2025 STEPS survey recorded raised fasting glucose or diabetes medication use in 13.4% of adults, creating a substantial treated and monitored population whose device demand depends on testing frequency, insulin intensity and reimbursement access.
Muscat is the commercial and clinical hub because tertiary hospitals, specialist clinics, private pharmacies and national distributors are concentrated around the capital. The Ministry of Health’s 2025 diabetic-retinopathy program placed retinal imaging equipment in 25 healthcare institutions during its first phase, demonstrating how advanced diabetes technology is deployed through centralized procurement before scaling across other governorates.

Future Outlook
The Oman Diabetes Devices Market is projected to increase from USD 68 million in 2025 to USD 80 million by 2031. Historical growth averaged 3.59% during 2020-2025, supported by expanding diagnosed-patient coverage, greater use of self-monitoring consumables and wider availability of insulin delivery devices. Forecast growth moderates to 2.75% because conventional glucometers and pen-based delivery products are mature, while public procurement remains price sensitive. The market nevertheless retains a recurring revenue profile because test strips, lancets, CGM sensors, infusion sets and pen needles require frequent replacement across homecare and institutional settings.
Growth through 2031 will increasingly come from mix rather than basic device penetration. Continuous glucose monitoring, flash monitoring and connected insulin-delivery systems are expected to capture a larger share of incremental revenue as clinicians prioritize better glycemic control and remote review. Oman’s 2025 survey showed only 26.0% of people with raised glucose had fasting blood glucose below 7.0 mmol/L, indicating a large outcomes gap. Suppliers that combine devices with onboarding, clinical education, digital dashboards and reliable replenishment will be better positioned than hardware-only vendors, particularly in specialist clinics and coordinated public-health programs.
