Auto-Injectors Market: Rapidly Evolving Industry…… COVID-19….
The global auto-injectors
market size is expected to reach USD 3.18 billion by 2026, according to
a new report by Grand View Research, Inc, exhibiting a CAGR of 19.5%. Rising incidence of anaphylactic shock and other
diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid, & multiple sclerosis along with
increasing approvals of auto-injectors are impelling growth.
With Covid-19 infections rising globally, the
apprehension regarding a shortage of essential life-saving devices and other
essential medical supplies in order to prevent the spread of this pandemic and
provide optimum care to the infected also widens. In addition, till a
pharmacological treatment is developed, ventilators act as a vital treatment
preference for the COVID-19 patients, who may require critical care. Moreover,
there is an urgent need for a rapid acceleration in the manufacturing process
for a wide range of test-kits (antibody tests, self-administered, and others).
The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.
Increasing prevalence of
life-threatening allergies and rising demand for these devices are expected to
aid growth. As per the Food Allergy Research & Education, around 200, 000
people every year need emergency medical care for allergic food reactions.
In addition, increasing approvals are
anticipated to drive growth. For instance, in August 2018, U.S. FDA approved
the first generic epinephrine auto-injector of Teva Pharmaceuticals to treat
emergency allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Generic versions of EpiPen
Jr & EpiPen of 0.15 mg & 0.3 mg, respectively, are indicated for
pediatric and adult patients weighing more than 33 pounds.
Moreover, manufacturers are also
developing new products and innovative technologies, which is expected to
propel market growth. For instance, in June 2018, AbbVie GK launched Humira,
which is a fully human antitumor necrosis factor alpha monoclonal antibody
formulation with lock function & injection start & end alerts as well
as an inspection window and injects completely in 10 seconds. Demand for these
devices is increasing as they are designed in accordance with patient
acceptance and compliance. Technological advancements are anticipated to make
them more convenient and user-friendly. This is encouraging patients to adopt
this technology for chronic illnesses.

The
global auto-injectors market size was estimated at USD 767.7 million in 2018
and is anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of 19.5%. Increase in prevalence of
anaphylactic shock, rise in awareness about these devices and preferences of
patients to choose self-administration of injections are the key factors
propelling the overall market.
Auto-injectors
are preferred over conventional devices as they enable efficient and improved
drug delivery as well as new formulations. Technological advancements in
products are anticipated to boost growth. For instance, Humira by AbbVie, Inc.
comes with lock function and injection start & end alerts.
Auto-injectors
offer various advantages such as they reduce phobia anxiety associated to
needles, reduce chances of needle stick injuries, maintain consistency of dose
accuracy, and help with better efficacy, which, in turn, aid growth. Drug
delivery from an auto-injector is more controlled compared to manual injection.
The
injecting site of a particular drug is chosen based on nature of the drug, but
it is normally administered intramuscularly. Auto-injectors are less painful
compared to syringes, which increases their demand. However, availability of
alternatives such as oral tablets may hinder growth.
Innovations
in device functions are also anticipated to support growth. For instance, in
September 2015, Bayer HealthCare launched an electronic auto-injector used to
treat relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, which offers complete dosage of
the drug for improved compliance & potentially reduces the overall cost.
The SHL group offers various types of auto-injectors with large volumes and
high viscosity.
