(PharmaNewsWire.Com, July 09, 2021 ) According to the new market research report “Pen Needles Market by Type (Standard Pen Needles, Safety Pen Needles), Length (4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm), Therapy (Insulin, GLP 1, Growth Hormone), and Mode of Purchase (Retail, Non-Retail) – Global Forecast to 2026″, published by MarketsandMarkets™, the global market is expected to reach USD 2.2 Billion by 2026 from an estimated USD 1.3 Billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 11.2%.
The Growth in the market is largely driven by the growing prevalence of chronic diseases and the favorable reimbursement scenario in selected countries. On the other hand, the preference for alternative modes of drug delivery, poor reimbursement in developing countries, and needle anxiety are expected to restrain the overall market growth. Misuse of insulin pens and reuse of pen needles are the challenges faced by the market. The growing preference for biosimilar drugs and emerging markets are areas of opportunity in the market.
The Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and CVD significantly increase the risk for hospitalization and death in COVID-19 patients. Hence, managing these comorbidities has gained more focus for patients with existing conditions and those at the highest risk of contracting these conditions. This awareness has increased among healthcare professionals and patients and supported the growth of the management devices market. Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are both predictors for adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients. Hence the adoption of insulin delivery devices has increased. Pen needles are used in great quantities in diabetes management. So these would naturally be impacted by any change in overall product and service demand.
The safety pen needles segment holds the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on type, the pen needles market is segmented into standard and safety pen needles. Safety pen needles are seen to be growing at the highest CAGR.
