Rising incidence of life-threatening medical emergencies such as anaphylaxis and cardiac arrests requiring emergency epinephrine injections can drive the market growth. Increasing awareness about early treatment of allergic reactions and availability of user-friendly epinephrine auto-injectors can also boost demand for epinephrine. However, presence of alternative treatment options and risk of side-effects associated with epinephrine administration can hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

Rising prevalence of allergic reactions

Rising prevalence of allergic diseases and conditions can drive the market growth. Allergic reactions can range from mild to severe and life-threatening. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is the first line treatment for emergency medical situations involving severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis. As more people around the world are developing sensitivities to various allergens such as food, drugs, insect bites and stings, there have been rising instances of anaphylaxis. This has contributed to greater awareness among the public as well as healthcare providers about the need to have immediate access to epinephrine auto-injectors, especially in developed markets. Community programs and school policies in many countries now mandate stocking and training for epinephrine administration. This boosts demand for low-cost generic as well as brand name epinephrine products that allow for self-administration during allergic emergencies. In 2021, according to the data published by CDC or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there has been high rates of seasonal allergies, eczema, and food allergies among U.S. adults and children. Ethnic disparities are notable, with Black, Non-Hispanic individuals showing higher prevalence of food allergies. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions and policies to address allergy disparities effectively.

Growing adoption of epinephrine autoinjectors

Traditionally, epinephrine for treating allergic reactions was only available in ampoules or vials that needed to be drawn up and administered via intramuscular injection. This posed several difficulties during emergency situations when seconds matter the most. The development of easy-to-use pre-filled epinephrine autoinjectors has revolutionized the management of anaphylaxis. Autoinjectors remove the need for drawing up medication from a vial and allow for hands-free self-administration through clothing, even by non-healthcare individuals. Modern autoinjectors feature voice instructions, thus, making them suitable for use by adults as well as children experiencing symptoms. With their convenience and ease of administration, epinephrine autoinjectors have gained widespread acceptance among medical professionals and the public. Multiple device upgrades and new entrants by leading pharmaceutical companies have further expanded access and availability of these devices globally. This boosts demand for epinephrine, especially for products packaged in autoinjector formats.
