The global hypodermic needles market size was valued at $3,256.00 million in 2020, and is expected to garner $4,537.99 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.4 % during the forecast period 2021-2030.
A hypodermic needle is a hollow needle widely used across medical settings to carry out different applications, such as drug delivery, vaccination, and blood specimen collection. These needles function through two different mechanisms, namely safety and non-safety needles. They are used to administer and inject drugs in the body and also to withdraw fluids from the body for examination and research purposes.
The growth of the global hypodermic needles market size is driven by increase in incidences of needlestick injuries. According to World Health Organization, it was estimated that 296 million people were living with chronic hepatitis B infection in 2019, with 1.5 million new infections each year in 2019. Hepatitis B resulted in an estimated 820, 000 deaths, and hundreds of thousands of healthcare workers were at high risk of work-related infections, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV due to exposure to contaminated needle sticks and sharp injuries. In addition, rise in incidence of chronic & lifestyle diseases, especially diabetes, supplements the hypodermic needles market growth. However, availability of alternative modes of drug delivery, low awareness towards safety syringes, and high cost of hypodermic needles hamper the hypodermic needles industry. Based on hypodermic needles market analysis, the untapped emerging economies present lucrative opportunities for the market.
The hypodermic needles market is segmented on the basis of product type, application, end user, and region. On the basis of product type, the market is bifurcated into safety and non-safety hypodermic needles. The safety hypodermic needles segment is sub-segmented on the basis of type and mode of activation.
By type, safety hypodermic needles are divided into retractable and nonretractable needles. By mode of activation, they are classified into active and passive hypodermic needles.
By applications, the market if divided into drug delivery, vaccination, and blood specimen collection. The drug delivery application was the highest revenue contributor in 2020. However, the vaccination segment is anticipated to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period owing to high birth rates and increase in awareness towards vaccination globally.
By end user, the hypodermic needles market includes hospitals, diabetic patient, family practitioner, psychiatry and others. World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended all healthcare providers to switch over to safer needles and helps prevent the spread of blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis, HIV, and viral hemorrhagic fevers. Hospitals are the largest end users of hypodermic needles. Hospitals that are publicly or privately owned, multinational hospitals, specialty hospitals, and others, widely use hypodermic needles for various purposes such as vaccination, drug delivery, blood specimen collection, and others.
