The Global Pen Needles Market Size is expected to reach USD 5.6 Billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period 2022 to 2032.

 

A pen needle is a small, disposable medical device that is attached to an injector pen and is used to administer medications. These needles are made of plastic or plastic-coated metal and come in a variety of lengths and gauge sizes to make them easier to handle. The needle is made of stainless steel, which is strong and durable enough to pierce the skin comfortably. The needle tip is frequently slanted to aid in skin penetration, and a lubricant is used to reduce injection pain. In comparison to the traditionally used syringes and vials, pen needles are highly cost-effective, convenient to use, portable and do not require refrigeration. The rise in diabetes prevalence, surge in demand for self-administration of injectable drugs, availability of a wide range of pen needles to meet individual patient needs, and increased emphasis on home healthcare and self-care are all driving market growth. Furthermore, the advantages of pen needles over traditional syringes, as well as the increased awareness and adoption of injector pens, increase demand for pen needles and contribute to the growth of the pen needles market size.

Market Dynamics

Pen Needles Market Dynamics

Self-administration is becoming more popular

Pen injectors have several advantages over traditional drug administration methods that use vials and syringes, including ease of use, especially at home, which eliminates the need for frequent trips to clinics or healthcare facilities. Pen injectors are also less likely to cause errors when administering the correct dose. Pen injectors, when used with shorter pen needles, can reduce pain at the injection site and improve quality of life when compared to other drug delivery methods. These advantages are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Technological advancements in various product types are also expected to drive the growth of the pen needles industry. Companies are concentrating on new product development in terms of needle length. For example, in 2021, BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) introduced the BD Nano Ultra-Fine pen needle, which has a needle length of 4 mm for improved patient comfort and consistent insulin delivery.

 

Restraints & Challenges

Preference for alternative drug delivery methods

Pen needles can cause needlestick injuries and infections, as well as hyperglycemia and pain. These are sometimes associated with hyperglycemia due to the inability to control the dosage. As a result, insulin pumps are preferred over pens for insulin administration in some areas. This is one of the major challenges confronting the pen needles market.
