The lancet are double edged blades or needles and appears similar to the small scalpels.
The market for lancet and pen needles is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period in the Asia Pacific region due to increasing prevalence of diseases like diabetes and osteoporosis. According to a study conducted by the American Diabetes Association in 2016, about 80% of the diabetic patients resides in the developing countries and it is estimated that the rise of type 2 diabetes in South Asia is likely to be 150% between 2000 and 2035.

Factors such as increasing geriatric population and growing healthcare expenditure along with favourable government policies are projected to boost the market growth during the forecast period. However, the need to remove the pin after a single use and high cost as compared to the insulin vials may restrain the market growth during the forecast period.
