North America dominated the injectable drugs delivery market in 2022. The growth of injectable drugs delivery market in North America region is being attributed to the growing prevalence of various disorders. In addition, rising adoption of strategies by market players are also supporting the growth of North America injectable drugs delivery market.
The North America market is growing due to the rising incidence of diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune disorders in the North American region. The need for long-term treatments with injectable medications is fueling the demand for advanced drug delivery devices. Furthermore, the growing adoption of self-administration devices among patients boosts the market’s growth in this region. The adoption of such advanced devices empowers people in managing their own health conditions more effectively. The expansion of autoinjectors, needle-free injectors, and wearable injectors is driving this market significantly.
Europe, on the other hand, is expected to develop at the fastest rate during the forecast period. The UK dominates the injectable drugs delivery market in Europe region. The Europe injectable drugs delivery market is attributed to the factors such as the rise of the biologics market, rising incidence of chronic disorders, and the rising demand for self-injection devices are all contributing to this trend. The other factors propelling the growth of injectable drugs delivery market in Europe region are rising disposable income, rising number of partnerships, and rising awareness about safety and comfort.
The rising geriatric population in Europe along with the growing cases of diabetes, cancer, etc. boosts the need for injectable drug delivery systems and devices in this region. A large healthcare expenditure and a strong shift towards personalized medicine are expected to drive the market in this region. The United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency approved the injectable diabetes medication of Eli Lilly for its use in weight loss and management for adults aged 18 and above.
The injectable drug delivery market refers to the controlled or sustained injectable systems to achieve a prolonged effect of drugs at targeted sites. This approach reduces the dosing frequency, maximizes the efficacy dose relationship, decreases adverse side effects, and enhances patient compliance. There are several routes of drug administration such as intravenous, subcutaneous, or intramuscular injection. There can be increased safety and potency of drugs, maximum utilization of drugs, improved patient convenience and compliance, reduction in fluctuation, and reduction in healthcare costs through improved therapies, less treatment period, and reduced frequency of dosage. The efficient and controlled drug delivery systems include injectables such as solutions, colloidal dispersions, microcapsules, nanoparticles, liposomes, etc. The infusion devices include osmotic pumps, vapor pressure-powered pumps, and battery-powered pumps. Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd., Pfizer Inc., Terumo, Baxter International Inc., Sandoz, etc. are the prominent industries in this market.

The rise of biopharmaceuticals and the growing consumption of sterile injectables all around the world are majorly contributing to the market’s growth. The biopharmaceuticals are increasingly preferred to treat chronic conditions like diabetes and arthritis which surges the need for injectable drug delivery systems. A growing focus towards enhancing patient experiences by improving the quality of patient-centric healthcare approaches boosts the demand for these advanced systems.
The rising need for precise dosages and the potential risks of infections in drug-administered areas can impose remarkable challenges in front of healthcare professionals. Scaling up injectable formulations is another challenge in these systems and processes. Inadequate biological resources also impact the expansion of the market worldwide.
Scientists could find strategies for selecting the right CDMO to ensure the growth of nasal drug projects and nasal drug delivery. They would also be able to improve aerosol delivery, nanosuspension, and mesh technology. Hospitals, home-care settings, and other healthcare facilities would expand this market by being potential end users.
The devices segment accounted largest revenue share in 2024. The growing prevalence of chronic disorders is leadingto an increase in overall syringe practice, predominantly disposable syringes. The cardiovascular illnesses, diabetes, and obesity have been found to be leading causes of death from chronic disorders. As populacesurge is believed to be the critical factor in emerging nations, this is likely to have the highest impact all around the world.
The formulations segment is fastest growing segment of the injectable drugs delivery market in 2024. The growing prevalence of chronic disorders, increased acceptance of self-injection, patient adherence, biologics, and innovative technologies are all factors driving this segment’s rapid rise.
