Market Driver

The pharmaceutical industry's shift from small-molecule chemical drugs to large-molecule biologics has led to significant advancements in treating chronic diseases such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. In 2022, the FDA approved 37 new drugs and 15 biologics. Pre-filled syringes offer advantages like material and cost savings, accuracy, and ease of administration, making them an ideal choice for packaging and delivering biological products. Of the top ten drugs in pre-filled syringes, nine are biologics. Over 1,000 biologics and medicines are in clinical development, and most are expected to use pre-filled syringes as their primary container, creating opportunities for the global pre-filled syringes market. (Exact word count: 96) 

The prefilled syringes market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for convenient and precise administration of parenteral medications, particularly in emergency situations such as anaphylactic shock. Pen injectors and safety syringes are popular choices for patients and healthcare providers, reducing the risk of needlestick injuries. However, the market faces challenges like dose precision, risk of contamination, and drug wastage. The trend towards biologics, biosimilars, insulin, and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is driving the market, with home care services and hospital pharmacies being major consumers. The market also caters to chronic diseases like heart diseases, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. The assumption that prefilled syringes are more expensive than conventional vials may not always be true, considering the global healthcare costs and potential product recalls. The target population includes patients and healthcare professionals, with a focus on biologics and biosimilars. The market also addresses the needs of various disease populations, including diabetes prevalence and cancer cases. Lubrication technology, multi-chamber syringes, and flush syringes are key trends in the market.

Market Challenges

• The pre-filled syringes market encounters significant competition from alternative drug delivery systems, including microneedles, wearable and connected delivery devices, and nano patches. These non-invasive options offer easier use, painless delivery, and controlled drug release. However, pre-filled syringes are not entirely pain-free. Emerging technologies, such as Unilife's and BD's wearable injector devices, provide customizable dosages for biologics, vaccines, and small molecules. Microneedles, an upcoming technology, is expected to dominate vaccination programs, with products like Soluvia by BD and MicronJet600 by NanoPass Technologies already marketed. Companies like 3M, Corium International, Zosano Pharma, BD, NanoPass Technologies, and LTS Lohmann Therapie-Systeme AG invest heavily in microneedle drug delivery systems for insulin, vaccines, and local anesthetics. Nanopatches offer similar immune protection using 100 times less vaccine and lower manufacturing costs. These alternatives are expected to capture a substantial market share, potentially hindering the growth of pre-filled syringes during the forecast period.
• The prefilled syringes market faces several challenges in catering to the growing demand from chronic disease patients, including heart diseases, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. Needlestick legislations necessitate safety features, increasing syringe costs. Biologics and biosimilars require larger syringe volumes, challenging assumptions about target disease population size. Chronic diseases like diabetes have large prevalence rates, with an estimated 463 million diabetes cases and 19.3 million cancer cases worldwide. Needle stick injuries and contaminated needles pose risks for patients and healthcare professionals. Insufficient healthcare funding and medical inflation create funding gaps, driving the search for cheaper alternatives like disposable syringes or oral drug delivery methods. Safety prefilled syringes, self injection devices, and autoinjectors are popular solutions for geriatric patients and those requiring biological therapies. However, challenges remain in optimizing API use, reducing drug waste, and analyzing partnerships for self administering devices. The annual cost burden and patient compliance are critical factors in treatment regimens, making safety and affordability key considerations for the prefilled syringes market.
