Reviews:
1. The expansion of medical insurance coverage is driving the expansion of the US CGM market. Coupled with the huge patient scale and high penetration rate, the company's CGM has great potential to go overseas. According to the latest CDC data, the number of diabetic patients in the US reached 37.3 million in 2023, accounting for 11.3% of the US population, and under market cultivation by local giants such as Dekang and Abbott, the patients' awareness of blood sugar monitoring was extremely high. In 2020, the penetration rate of CGM among type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes patients reached 26%, 9%, and 4%, which is significantly higher than in the five European Union countries, China and other regions. In April 2023, the US Health Insurance Administration CMS further expanded CGM's health insurance coverage, and the market size is expected to expand significantly. According to William Blair's forecast, the US CGM market may reach 10 billion US dollars in 2025, more than doubling in 2-3 years. The company's CGM is the world's first three-generation technology product. Its performance is comparable to that of international leaders. After launch, it is expected to seize market share and contribute considerable performance growth through cost and performance advantages.
2. With the subsidiary's channel network+online platform two-wheel drive, CGM's global volume is expected to accelerate. The company's two US subsidiaries, Trividia and PTS, were basically integrated, and both achieved profits in the first three quarters of this year. Among them, Trividia is deeply involved in the field of blood sugar monitoring, and is the third largest blood sugar meter manufacturer in the US. The channel network covers more than 80 countries and regions, including the US, the UK, Australia, and Mexico, and is expected to provide solid channel support for the company's CGM listing and sales in the US. It is expected that online and offline collaborative sales will be carried out. Furthermore, for the European region, which is currently the second largest market for CGM, the company obtained registration certifications in various countries such as MDR and the United Kingdom, and joined A. on November 29. MENARINI DIAGNOSTICS S.r.l. signed an exclusive distribution contract for a period of seven years to sell the company's first and second generation CGM custom-model products under a joint brand in more than 20 countries and regions in Europe, which is expected to accelerate the release of the company's products in the European market. In Asia Pacific, Africa, South America and other regions, the company has also successively completed CGM registration and accelerated localization and regional market expansion. At the same time, the company continues to promote performance upgrades and iterations of CGM products to enhance product competitiveness. On December 16, the company's second-generation CGM was approved by NMPA. Compared with the first generation, it not only has better portability and comfort, but is also upgraded to integrated implantation, no assembly required, and the product size has been further optimized. With the continuous consolidation of product performance and cost and price advantages, the company is expected to accelerate the global expansion of CGM with the help of channel layout in mature markets in the US and Europe, and local construction in potential markets such as the Asia-Pacific region.
