The main products within retractable needle safety syringes include manual retractable safety syringes and auto-retractable safety syringes. A manual retractable safety syringe is a medical device that requires the user to manually activate the retraction mechanism to safely retract the needle into the syringe barrel after use, reducing the risk of needlestick injuries. These syringes are made from materials such as plastic, glass, and metal, and feature needle lengths of 1 inch, 1.5 inches, and others. They are used for applications such as subcutaneous (Sub-Q), intramuscular (IM), and intravenous (IV) injections, serving end users such as hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and other healthcare facilities.

The retractable needle safety syringes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from$5.19 billion in 2024 to $5.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing focus on needlestick injury prevention, stricter healthcare worker safety regulations, a rise in hospital-acquired infections, expanding vaccination programs, and a growing demand for disposable syringes.
The retractable needle safety syringes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to$7.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as stricter occupational safety standards, increased adoption in emerging markets, a growing preference for advanced injection technologies, rising awareness of infection control, and government initiatives promoting safer medical devices. Key trends during this period include the integration of smart syringes, advancements in retractable needle mechanisms, the use of eco-friendly and biodegradable materials, the development of compact and lightweight syringe designs, and a focus on cost-effective safety syringes.
The increasing occurrence of needlestick injuries is expected to drive the growth of the retractable needle safety syringes market in the coming years. Needlestick injuries refer to accidental skin punctures caused by needles, typically occurring in healthcare settings. These injuries can lead to exposure to bloodborne pathogens, posing a significant risk to healthcare workers. A key factor contributing to the rise in needlestick injuries is the growing frequency of medical procedures that require injections, alongside inadequate safety protocols and improper disposal practices. Retractable needle safety syringes are crucial in reducing the risk of such injuries, as they feature an automatic mechanism that retracts the needle after use, preventing accidental exposure to harmful pathogens and ensuring enhanced safety for healthcare workers. For example, in April 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a U.S.-based public health agency, reported that approximately 385,000 needlestick and sharps-related injuries occur annually among hospital-based healthcare personnel. As a result, the growing concern over needlestick injuries is driving the demand for safer syringe solutions.
Leading companies in the retractable needle safety syringes market are focusing on technological advancements, such as the development of auto-retractable safety syringes, to improve safety and efficiency in healthcare settings. These syringes provide a safer, more cost-effective solution for needle-based injections. An auto-retractable safety syringe is a medical device that automatically retracts its needle into the barrel after an injection, reducing the risk of needlestick injuries and ensuring safer disposal. For example, in February 2023, Zephyrus Innovations, a U.S.-based medical device company, announced the approval of its Aeroject 3ml safety syringe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This next-generation syringe features a unique gas-powered retraction mechanism, ensuring that the needle is automatically retracted into the syringe after use, thereby preventing accidental exposure to harmful pathogens. Moreover, the syringe design minimizes wasted space, allowing for more doses to be extracted from each vial, enhancing cost-efficiency and reducing medication waste in healthcare settings.
In July 2022, Sharps Technology Inc., a U.S.-based medical device company, acquired SafeGard Medical's syringe manufacturing facility for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enables Sharps Technology to strengthen its production capabilities, expanding its portfolio of safety syringes to meet the growing demand for advanced drug delivery solutions. SafeGard Medical, a U.S.-based company, specializes in designing and manufacturing innovative safety medical products, including syringes.
