Strategic Initiatives
Insulet’s growth strategy centers on three key pillars: expanding leadership in the Type 1 diabetes market, pioneering the Type 2 diabetes opportunity, and accelerating international expansion.
The company achieved a significant milestone in August 2024 with FDA clearance for Omnipod 5 use in adults with Type 2 diabetes, making it the first automated insulin delivery (AID) system approved for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in the U.S. Clinical data from the SECURE-T2D study showed meaningful improvements, with mean A1c decreasing from 8.2% to 7.4%.
"We are the number one prescribed automated insulin delivery system in the United States," CEO Ashley McEvoy stated during the company’s Q1 earnings call, a position reinforced in the Q2 presentation materials.
The company’s presentation highlighted Omnipod 5’s unique benefits, including being the first and only tubeless, waterproof AID system in the U.S. market:
Market Opportunity (SO:FTCE11B)
Insulet’s addressable market represents a significant growth opportunity, with approximately 14 million potential patients globally. The diabetes pump market remains largely underpenetrated, with only about 40% of U.S. Type 1 diabetes patients and 20% of international Type 1 diabetes patients currently using pumps.
The Type 2 diabetes market represents an even larger opportunity, with current pump penetration at only around 5%. During Insulet’s Q1 earnings call, Eric Benjamin, Chief Product and Customer Experience Officer, noted: "We see that type two penetration today is around 5%. And as a reminder, we’ve said we think that can somewhere between double and triple."

The presentation outlined how the "Omnipod of the Future" will focus on continuous product enhancement, seamless integration with customer-preferred CGM sensors, and a world-class algorithm fueled by data:
International Expansion
International markets represent a key growth driver for Insulet, with revenue expected to grow from $0.3 billion in 2020 to approximately $0.7 billion in 2025, representing a CAGR of about 18%.
The company’s global expansion strategy includes Omnipod 5 launches across multiple regions between 2022 and 2025. Recent and upcoming launches include Australia, New Zealand, and several Middle Eastern countries, building on the established presence in North America and Europe.

Competitive Industry Position
Insulet has positioned itself as the global leader in diabetes management technology, highlighting several competitive advantages in its presentation. The company’s platform includes a unique tubeless form factor protected by patents and trade secrets, widespread and affordable access through 47,000 U.S. pharmacies and Medicare Part D coverage, and advanced automation capabilities supported by over $1 billion in investments.
The company claims several market leadership positions, including being the "#1 U.S. requested and prescribed AID system," the "#1 U.S. new customer starts since 2023," and the "#1 AID amongst new users in EU."
Forward-Looking Statements
For the full year 2025, Insulet projects total Omnipod revenue growth of 20-23%, with U.S. revenue growth between 18-21% and international growth of 27-30%. The company anticipates continued gross margin expansion and aims for over 100 basis points of operating margin improvement annually.
The company’s long-term financial targets include growing revenue beyond $2.5 billion (representing a ~24% CAGR from 2020), achieving gross margins of approximately 71% (a ~660 basis point expansion), and reaching adjusted operating margins of 17-17.5% (a ~1,000 basis point expansion).
While Insulet’s outlook remains positive, potential challenges include supply chain disruptions, market saturation in the U.S., macroeconomic pressures affecting healthcare budgets, regulatory changes in international markets, and competition from emerging technologies in diabetes care.
Conclusion
Insulet’s Q2 2025 presentation paints a picture of a company with strong momentum and significant growth opportunities. The expansion into the Type 2 diabetes market, continued international growth, and ongoing product innovation provide multiple avenues for future revenue expansion.
With its unique product platform and first-mover advantage in key markets, Insulet appears well-positioned to maintain its leadership in the automated insulin delivery space. Investors have responded positively to the company’s performance and outlook, as evidenced by the significant premarket stock movement following the presentation.
