With little direct competition in patch pumps for two decades, Insulet has been able to convert more users, especially patients on multiple daily injections, to its innovative, tubeless insulin pump. The firm has carved a path to meaningful profitability gains.
Rumblings that Medicare's competitive bidding program for durable medical equipment distributors will include insulin pumps could boost Insulet, as its pumps are distributed through the pharmacy channel.
With only one product and low switching costs for customers, Insulet is vulnerable if larger competitors produce similar or superior tubeless insulin pumps.
