Pen Needles Market Statistics

Market Overview

The pen needles market deals with disposable hollow needles utilized in pen injectors for receiving pharmaceutical drugs in the subcutaneous tissues of the human body. The pen needle is kept in the plastic hub of the medical injectable pen and includes individual wrapping and plastic caps for enhanced sterilization and security. Pen needles are produced using electro-polishing techniques to aim thin, fine, and smooth point tips for convenient penetration.

The rising geriatric population, which is more susceptible to chronic diseases, is increasing growth in various product innovations, such as the development of short-length and ultra-thin needles with enhanced drug delivery systems, which are anticipated to enhance the growth of the market. In addition, increasing healthcare spending capacities of the masses, including implementation of favorable government strategies for improving public health, are further expected to drive the growth of the pen needles market during the forecast period.

  • The growing technological advancements in needle technology and increasing demand for pen needles over syringes and vials are anticipated to drive the growth of the market.
  • The increasing preferences of people towards less invasive treatments and growing patient awareness of personalized medicine administration fuel the market growth.
  • The rising emergence of E-Commerce as a preferred distribution channel is further attributed to the growth of pen needles.

Increasing number of patients with chronic diseases

Various chronic diseases such as diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases are rising rapidly around the world. The changes in consumer lifestyle and the rapid expansion of the aging population are factors that contributed to the increasing growth in long-term and common health conditions. The rising pace of urbanization is considered to enhance the growth of the high prevalence of a sedentary lifestyle and middle-class segment.

Such major factors enhance most chronic health diseases, such as diabetes and obesity. In addition, so many adults are affected by chronic conditions worldwide. Due to the global population's aging, the disease burden is growing continuously. Pen injectors have been derived as the advanced method for injectable drug delivery systems. Furthermore, these injectable pens have become rapidly popular due to their ability, reliability, and simplicity to be self-regulated directly by a patient without the need for a physician. These are the major driving factors expected to enhance the growth of the pen needles market.

However, a predilection for alternative drug delivery systems might impede market expansion. While pen needles are an easy and practical way to provide medication, they can also be uncomfortable and lead to infections, needlestick injuries, and hyperglycemia. Some individuals have hyperglycemia as a result of their medicine not allowing them to regulate their pen needle consumption. Because insulin pumps can automatically minimize the danger and cease insulin of hypoglycemia, they have therefore replaced pen needles in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. This is a significant factor impeding market expansion. Medication administration techniques have somewhat resolved this issue without the need for needles. These are the major restraining factors that may hinder the growth of the pen needles market.
