Prefilled Syringes Market Overview:

Prefilled syringes market is expected to reach around USD 11479.332 Million by 2027 from the current market of USD 11.72 billion. The CAGR is anticipated to be approx. USD 11.72% in the forecast period. The high demand in the prefilled syringes market is mostly attributed to some major things such as the advancement of technologies, the pervasiveness of chronic diseases, needlestick or other government regulations, and self-injecting or adoption devices.

The awareness of prefilled syringes benefits is increasing with the support of the growing number of biosimilars and biologics in the pharmaceuticals market among healthcare professionals and patients. In the next 6 years, safety prefilled syringes have great potential to be in the top position among prefilled syringes market players by being the fastest expanding segment. 

The growth of this prefilled syringes market can be accredited for the healthcare expenditure along with the high autoimmune disorder prevalence, self-mediations, and others. According to AARDA (American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association Inc), more than 50 million patients are suffering from this disorder only in America. During the period of forecast, the increase of product launches from key players and the growing adoption of products by medical professionals will boost the prefilled syringes market. 

Covid-19 Analysis:

The market of prefilled syringes had a very huge impact due to the COVID 19 pandemic. It has a short-term impact on the supply chain, drug manufacturing process as well which affected the market. To reduce the spread of COVID 19 and follow the regulations, the HCPs have adapted plenty of new ways to deliver the care. The demand for prefilled syringes increased a lot more than the glass ampoules to reduce needle-stick injury risks.

The manufacturers are increasing their capacity of production to meet the demand for COVID 19 vaccine. For example, the US government has ordered more than 100 million prefilled syringes by signing a deal of around $138 million with manufacturers to have huge quality of vaccine ready by the middle of 2021. One of which includes telemedicine that helps to keep the continuation of appointments. Different apps have been introduced that help with chronic conditions to get self-support.

The glucose monitoring devices are supporting diabetes patients. The contribution of the pharmacist community is going to be essential to promote medication and take care of chronic conditions during and after the COVID 19 pandemic. It is necessary to lighten the burden of already strained medical systems. Overall, the prefilled syringes market had a positive impact due to COVID 19 pandemic and more than 10.6% growth from 10.3.

Prefilled Syringes Market Dynamics:

Driving Factors

The demand for injectable delivery innovations and biological drugs is increasing rapidly. They are likely to drive the growth of the prefilled syringes market in the forecast period. Diseases like autoimmune disorders, cancer, and others have a limited option of treatment available. As the leading players of the market target these diseases, the biological drugs have managed to get their attention. For example, the W. L. Gore & Associates Inc introduced the Gore Imroject Plunger for prefilled syringes on 19th March 2019, which is a silicon-sensitive biologics solution.

Also, the number of cancer patients is expected to rise to 22 billion by 2027 in the US that will increase the biologics demand. With chronic diseases, the demand for self-injection devices is increasing. The rise in number is expected to cross more than 550 million by 2027 among diabetes patients. There is a high chance of increasing the autoimmune disease cases as more than 8 million patients had auto-antibodies present in their blood molecules in the US that elevate the risk of autoimmune disease development.

Opportunity

Many countries are suffering from insufficient funds for healthcare, which is affecting the health status of people. In most places of South Asia and Africa, more than 400 million people are unable to receive healthcare services according to the World Bank. Based on the report of the Geneva Association, the increase in GDP in the last two decades is expected to be more than 8 trillion per year, which is caused by the advancement of treatment options, medical treatment cost, and others. By 2027, global spending on health will get a huge boost with an increased rate of 5.3% per year on average.

Restraint

While loading medication from vials, the chance of toxic exposure is very high, which is reduced a lot by using the prefilled syringes. They offer great safety for patients and reduce the risk of needlestick injuries. However, the use of bare prefilled syringes without safety systems can lead to needle stick injury as well. More than 1,000,000 injuries occurred only in Europe in 2019.

They have a high chance of transferring infections like HCV, HIV, and others. The manufacturing process of safety features is much more expensive which is creating a major concern. However, the industry is expected to develop more safety prefilled syringes in the upcoming years.

Challenges

The main challenge faced by the prefilled syringes is the cost of the disposable syringe is lower. The manufacturing process of prefilled syringe makes it expensive. Also, the oral medicines are most accepted by the parties as it is less painful and convenient. The use of insulins that are injectable is getting limited like Medtronic’s Veo insulin, Pfizer’s Exubera, and others. Inhalable insulin has affected the market growth of injectables as they are pain-free. In the forecast period, the treatments like oral anemia are expected to have an adverse effect on injectable technology growth.

Cumulative Growth Analysis

With the increasing number of patients with chronic diseases and self-injective devices, prefilled syringes are becoming very attractive for healthcare professionals and biotechnology products. The prefilled syringes market is expected to reach more than 9 billion USD by the end of 2027. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be around 9% in the period of forecast.

Value Chain Analysis:

The prefilled syringes market is very valuable and highly necessary for the growth of the overall healthcare industry. With increasing chronic diseases, the use of prefilled syringes is expected to increase a lot in the forecast period. The process of making safety prefilled syringes will also help to get a better market grasp than the disposable syringes by offering a lower price. It will also ensure safety from transferable diseases like HCV and HIV.
