NEEDLE-FREE INJECTION SYSTEM MARKET ANALYSIS

Needle-Free Injection System MarketSize and Trends

Market Dynamics

Needle-free injection system is continuously expanding its market footprint on account of various factors. Increasing incidence of needle associated injuries and needle phobia amongst children and adults is expected to drive growth of needle-free injection system market. According to a study published in Behavioral Neurology, 2014, around 3-4 % of the world population faces needle phobia. This impacts their hospital or clinic visits, as they avoid visiting such facilities due to fear of exposure to needles. Needle phobia also impacts the vaccination amongst children, as most of them perceives injecting vaccine as a painful procedure. According to a study published in the Clinical Journal of Pain in 2015, there were 12 billion vaccination every year worldwide, most of which required injecting drug with a needle syringe system. Increasing demand for vaccines and other biologic products is another factor boosting growth of the needle-free injection system market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2018, globally around 86% of infants are vaccinated against 26 diseases, however, 19.5 million children are unvaccinated leading to death of 2-3 million children every year. Chronic disease such as diabetes often needs daily dose of insulin, which has to be administered through pain needles. This may lead to lack of adherence to treatment due to lack of confidence to self-inject insulin. Increasing research on biologics and biosimilar is another factor expected to fuel growth of the market. Biologicals are increasingly launched and prescribed to treat disease such as GI tract disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease), central nervous system associated disease (multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease), and cancer. Other factors such as increasing incidence of communicable diseases caused due to conventional needle, increasing geriatric population worldwide who need palliative care, and growing awareness about safe injection practices are also expected to drive growth of needle-free injection system market.
