Global Auto-injectors Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe and the World Health Organization had declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

COVID-19 can affect the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand of drugs, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to nationwide lockdowns, several countries, such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Egypt, and others, are facing problems with regards to the transportation of drugs from one place to another.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global auto-injectors market due to the increasing development of vaccines and treatment against COVID-19. For instance, in May 2022, the European Medicine Agency (EMA) approved Vaxzevria in the European Union (EU) as a third dose booster in adults. Thus, the increasing approvals of vaccines will demand the injectable drug delivery devices like needles and syringes.

Global Auto-injectors Market: Key Developments

Adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as product launch is expected to drive the global auto-injectors market.
