Market Overview

South Korea's market for pen needles for diabetes care is defined as the market for disposable needles designed for use with insulin pens to manage blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Pen needles are popular because they are easy to use, provide precise dosing, and are less painful than traditional syringes. As diabetes prevalence continues to rise (especially Type 2 diabetes), we can expect growth to continue, as well as an increasing aging population and desire by patients for convenient ways to deliver insulin. Newer designs in safety needles, ultra-thin gauges, and compatibility with a variety of insulin pens, have also increased the use of pen needles. Considering that hospitals, clinics, and homecare settings are encouraging insulin pen therapy, there is a clear pathway for sustained growth into 2035.
