Injection Pen Market Drivers

Improving the convenience and ease of administration of parenteral therapeutics has become a common strategy adopted by biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and is expected to drive growth of injection pen market. Key players aim to introduce novel drug delivery system by targeting end-user flexibility such as fewer handling steps, higher volumes, thinner needles, high viscous formulations, and novel primary containers to accommodate changing injection pen market trends.

For instance, in 2015, Antares Pharma launched Makena subcutaneous auto injector in collaboration with AMAG Pharmaceuticals. This collaboration clubs hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection of Antares Pharma that is used to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women pregnant with a single baby who has a history of singleton spontaneous preterm birth, with QuickShot auto-injector of AMAG Pharmaceuticals to allow rapid subcutaneous self-administration of highly viscous drugs in oil such as testosterone or progesterone and biologics using high spring pressure through a fine gauge needle.
