Needlestick Safety Injection Devices Market, 2014 - 2024
NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- INTRODUCTION
With increasing awareness about occupational safety and growing concern on the prevention of needlestick injury, safety injection devices have gained increased attention from the manufacturers and healthcare professionals worldwide. The accelerated emergence of regulatory controls over the past few years have further ensured that manufacturers come up with modifications in the product design and integrated safety controls to meet the requirements.
Safety injection devices, which include safety syringes and safety needles, are designed to enhance safety of the drug administration process and eliminate needlestick injuries - a major cause of blood-borne infections. The current growth in the market for a variety of safety injection devices is primarily underpinned by the evolving needs of the patients and the requirement for better and safer syringe systems.
These devices have several advantages over traditional drug delivery systems. Most importantly, the addition of safety feature provides optimal protection to the healthcare practitioners and patients, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. Specifically, in case of a retractable syringe, the needle is locked into the barrel of the syringe and the entire assembly can be safely disposed of. The cost of disposal of a safety syringe is relatively much lower compared to a conventional syringe. Despite a marginally relatively higher purchase price, these devices are known to offer long term economic advantage if the consequences of a needlestick injury and associated treatment expenses are taken into consideration.
In addition to the existing established device manufacturers, the market has seen the presence of some relatively new players. These start-ups have recently introduced some important safety devices with innovative features. The need for improvement in safety mechanisms and functionality of the devices will continue to present positive growth prospects for the market in the foreseeable future.
SCOPE OF THE REPORT
The 'Needlestick Safety Injection Devices Market, 2014-2024' report provides an extensive study of the growing market of safety injection devices. This includes safety syringes, safety needles and other add-on safety tools. Due to the recent surge of regulations and the need for injection safety at healthcare settings, safety injection devices have emerged as one of the key focus areas for device manufacturers. The market is characterized by the presence of around 70 safety injection devices providing optimal protection from needlestick injuries to the patients as well as caregivers. When compared to the conventional drug delivery systems, these devices offer several other advantages including convenient disposal and long-term economic advantage. The focus of this report is primarily to understand the governing trends and the likely future evolution of these devices over the next decade.
The report covers various aspects such as regulatory guidelines, market developments, recent partnerships and our opinion on the likely drivers which will influence the industry's evolution. In addition, we have provided a holistic view of the market landscape including detailed profiles of leading devices, key features and their comparative position vis-à-vis other devices. The future growth in the market will primarily be driven by the rapidly expanding injectable drugs market and regulatory legislations encouraging the use of safety injection devices. Innovation in design and advanced safety mechanisms will continue to present development prospects in the years ahead.
Despite some of these key benefits and a promising future, the study also highlights considerable challenges associated with the use and implementation of these devices. The modification in design and incorporation of safety features present operational challenges to the administrators. Furthermore, cost is yet another factor that can significantly restrain the market in the short term. However, as the sales volume gains momentum, prices are expected to come down which will further drive the uptake of such devices.
The base year for the report is 2013. The study provides short-midterm and long term market forecasts for the period 2014 - 2019 and 2019 - 2024, respectively. The research, analysis and insights presented in this report is backed by a deep understanding of key insights gathered from both secondary and primary research.
EXAMPLE HIGHLIGHTS
1. During our research, we identified 72 safety injection devices manufactured by 39 companies. Out of these, 46 were safety syringes, followed by safety needles (17) and other add-on safety tools (9).
2. Becton Dickinson, Covidien and Terumo Medical Corporation are amongst the pioneers in the safety injection devices industry. The market however is fragmented and 58% of the safety injection devices are manufactured by smaller companies.
3. While the use of safety syringes has been mandated in the US, Europe and other international markets are moving towards the use and adoption of these devices. In addition to the established companies in the US and the Europe, the market has the emergence of some regional players including Beipu, UNIQSAFE Biomeditech Company and Formosa Medical Devices.
4. Technological advancements are likely to be one of the primary drivers of the market. Examples include the emergence of needleless systems and prefilled syringes with safety features.
5. The global market for safety syringes is likely to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% during 2014 – 2024. Non-retractable syringes currently capture a larger share of the total market. However, it is anticipated that wider customer adoption and declining prices will likely result in retractable syringes gaining a larger share of the pie in the coming decade.
