Injection Pen Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends and Forecasts (2024 - 2029)

Injection Pen Market Analysis

The Injection Pen Market size is estimated at USD 45.10 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 62.74 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.80% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

 An injection pen is a tool for injecting medicine beneath the skin, sometimes referred to as a medication pen. Injection pens are compact, handheld devices that resemble a pen. They are usually made of plastic and consist of a cartridge, a dial or push-button mechanism, a needle, and a removable cap. Many injection pens allow precise dose adjustments, typically in 1-unit increments, which can be particularly useful for individuals with varying insulin needs. These pens are preferred over vials and syringes as they enable the delivery of medicine in shorter intervals of time.

There has been a global increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases, including autoimmune diseases and diabetes. Societal factors, lifestyle changes, and external stress factors contribute to a pervasive chronic disease crisis. For instance, according to the data published by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, United States, in 2023, global diabetes cases are expected to soar from 529 million in 2022 to approx. 1.3 billion by 2050. On a global scale, diabetes is the most prevalent health condition among people who are 65 and older, with a prevalence rate of above 20% for the world population.

Moreover, in developing nations, diseases like diabetes are increasing rapidly. According to a study by the Indian Council of Medical Research in August 2023, the prevalence of diabetes in India was 100 million by the end of 2022. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is increasing across the world. Adherence of diabetes patients to recommended care, like intake of insulin, can markedly reduce complication rates, and this is one of the factors that may drive the demand for injection pens in the market studied.

Self-administration of injectable drugs through pen injectors has been a growing market trend due to their benefits, such as ease of handling, administration, injection time, portability, storage, and dose confirmation. In May 2023, a pilot survey study was published in Advances in Therapy, which evaluated the efficacy of injection pens like Smartclic among patients, caregivers, and physicians. The study stated that self-injection pens like Smartclic are easy to perform, safe, and can be used independently at home. So, a rise in preference for self-administration is another factor that may drive the injection pen market.

However, substantial obstacles for injection pen users, particularly for those with hand function impairment or anxiety related to self-injection, may restrain the market's growth.
