Dexcom enjoys a well-established track record for introducing the most precise sensors for use in its continuous glucose monitors. On the strength of its technology, Dexcom has captured an impressive slice of this CGM market, but a recent wave of innovation in the diabetes device market has intensified competitive pressure. Nonetheless, Dexcom has done a credible job of adapting and fending off competition from Abbott and Medtronic.
Dexcom's next-gen G7 product should be significantly less expensive, offer a thinner profile, and faster warm-up time than G6.
Considering Dexcom's sensors are already the most accurate, there's less opportunity for significant improvements on that dimension, compared with key competitors.
