Injection Pen Market: Growth Drivers

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is predicted to foster the market growth

In recent years, the incidence of diabetes has risen dramatically. In 2021, according to International Diabetes Federation, around 537 million persons aged 20 to 79 are affected by diabetes. By 2030, the overall number of diabetics is expected to reach 643 million, and by 2045, it will reach 783 million. Diabetes necessitates the administration of injectable drugs on a daily or weekly basis. Due to such a frequent need for drug administration in diabetic patients, injector pens emerged as the best solution.

For injectable drug delivery devices, injection pens are becoming the new norm. Because of their simplicity, dependability, and ability to be directly taken by the patients without the assistance of a physician, their popularity has skyrocketed. As a result of the rising incidence of diabetes and other chronic diseases, more attention is being paid to injectable pen technologies in order to efficiently manage the expanding patient pool and improve patient adherence to treatments. All such factors have led to an increase in demand for injection pens, thereby boosting the global injection pen market growth.

One of the major factors driving the growth of the injection pen market over the forecast period is the increased prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and others. As per the America Diabetes Association 2015 report, there were around 30.3 million people in America who were suffering from diabetes that is almost 9.4% of the American population. Increased use of home health care has also increased the demand for easy instruments for the administration of drugs on a daily basis, thus increasing the popularity of injection pen market. Moreover, major players involved in the injection pen market are constantly working for various technological developments which are also expected to increase the demand of the injection pen market over the forecast period. However, alternative modes of drug delivery and poor reimbursement policies in the developing countries are expected to hamper the growth of the injection pen market.

Injection Pen Market: Restraints

Growing preference for alternative modes of drug delivery may hinder the growth of the market.

Injection pen devices are not the only option. Needlestick fear and injury are the biggest deterrents to using injection pens. As a result, there are a variety of needle-free devices that have an extra benefit: they do not cause needle phobia, which is a major obstacle to the widespread use of injectable drug therapies. The discomfort associated with daily injections and the necessity of long-term therapy are the main causes of non-complacence in both children and adults. Insulin pen treatment has also been linked to hyperglycemia in certain individuals due to the inability to control the dosage. As a result of their capacity to execute automatic insulin suspension and reduce the danger of hypoglycemia, there has been a change in treatments that deal with diabetes in Europe shifting from insulin pens to insulin pumps. In addition to this, oral insulin administration is favored in developing nations such as Brazil, China, and India because it is simple to use, acceptable, safe, cost-effective, and practical.

Injection Pen Market: Opportunities

High demand for biosimilars to generate ample opportunities for the market during the estimated period.

Biosimilar has seen a considerable surge in demand as a result of their reduced costs when compared to their patented equivalents. Many biologic compounds' patents are about to expire, which will increase demand for biosimilars. Biosimilars and generics are preferred by insurance companies and governments. As many injectables used to treat chronic diseases are biologics, the expiration of patents and rising backing from governments and insurance companies present a chance for the injection pens market to flourish during the projected period. Additionally, the emergence of smart inject pens is also likely to fuel the global injection pen market growth.

Injection Pen Market: Challenges

The lack of trained professionals for innovative delivery methods pose major challenge for market expansion

Inadequate training and learning for the use of innovative delivery methods like injectable pens lead to incorrect use, which puts personnel and patients at risk. In a hospital context, such procedures may have an impact on the use of injectable pens. Furthermore, because the strength of insulin in the injection pen fluctuates, there is a risk of overdosing if the dose strength is not taken into account. Patients neglected to remove the inside cover of a conventional insulin pen needle, resulting in no insulin being given, according to the ISMP's National Medication Errors Reporting Program (MERP). Patients have also been reported to be using normal pen needles without removing the inner needle cover, according to the FDA.
