About Insulet Corporation
About Insulet Corporation
Insulet Corporation's Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery System—FDA-cleared in 2022 and expanded to type 2 diabetes in August 2024—anchors a platform sold across 25 countries. Three unnamed distributors (Distributor A, B, and C) accounted for 27%, 26%, and 25% of total revenue respectively in 2025, while international sales represented 28% of revenues. During 2025, Insulet launched Omnipod 5 integration with Dexcom's G7 CGM in the iOS app and across Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Italy.
Insulet sells Omnipod through U.S. wholesalers and pharmacies covered by commercial insurance, Medicare Part D, and Medicaid via contracts established in all 50 states. Internationally, the company distributes directly to consumers or through intermediaries that establish local reimbursement contracts. Manufacturing spans three sites: Acton, Massachusetts; Johor, Malaysia; and contract lines operated by a third-party manufacturer in China—a geography where supply disruption risk and post-COVID pressure to reduce medical device dependency are both flagged in the 10-K. The company competes with Medtronic Diabetes (being spun out as an independent company), Tandem Diabetes Care, and Beta Bionics in the insulin pump segment, as well as MDI therapy providers. Insulet's non-insulin Drug Delivery product line—generating substantially all revenue from Amgen's Neulasta Onpro kit under an agreement expiring December 2028—faces separate commercialization risks tied to pharmaceutical partner performance.

Sole-sourced component supply poses a material continuity risk. Insulet purchases application-specific integrated circuit chips, Bluetooth low-energy chips, and other specialized parts from suppliers that, in some instances, own the related intellectual property exclusively—leaving the company with no alternate source. These components are critical to product design and functionality, managed only by holding inventory at both Insulet and the supplier. Substantially all U.S. inventory is held at a single Massachusetts location, adding geographic concentration to the component-level supply risk.
