Injection pens are utilized to administer medication beneath the skin. They offer a more convenient and user-friendly method for delivering injectable medications like insulin, thereby enhancing patient compliance. These pens typically comprise a cartridge, a dosage measurement dial, and a disposable needle, providing a simpler, more accurate, and convenient alternative to using a vial and syringe.
The primary categories of injection pens include disposable and reusable variants. Disposable injection pens feature a non-replaceable prefilled cartridge that is discarded after use. On the other hand, reusable injection pens come with a replaceable cartridge that can be swapped out. Injection pens find application in a range of medical purposes, including diabetes, fertility treatments, osteoporosis, growth hormone therapy, and other therapies. They are employed by various end-users, including home care settings, hospitals, and clinics.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp increase in U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the medical equipment sector, especially for imported components used in imaging machines, surgical-grade stainless steel, and disposable plastics. With hospitals and clinics pushing back against price increases, manufacturers are facing margin pressure. The situation is further complicated by regulatory challenges, as switching suppliers due to tariffs often necessitates re-certification of medical devices, leading to delays in market entry. In response, companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing key components, ramping up domestic production of standardized items, and accelerating research into more cost-effective materials.
The injection pen market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides injection pen market statistics, including injection pen industry, global injection pen market size, regional shares, competitors with injection pen market share, detailed injection pen market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the injection pen industry. This injection pen market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The injection pen market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $57.05 billion in 2024 to $61.17 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increase in need for diabetes management, increased patient preference, reduced needle phobia, improved dosage accuracy, increased aging population.
The injection pen market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $93.19 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising diabetes prevalence, rising biologics and biosimilars, rising need for personalized medicine, need for home healthcare, increasing emerging markets. Major trends in the forecast period include smart injection pens, digital health integration, wearable devices, improved user interface, autoinjector compatibility.
The forecast of 11.1% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% from the previous estimate for this market.This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through tariffs on dose-counter mechanisms and precision-molded pen components, sourced from key regions such as Denmark and Sweden, which could lead to diabetes treatment challenges and increased expenses for insulin delivery systems.The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growth of the injection pen market is being fueled by the increasing prevalence of diseases like diabetes and arthritis. Factors such as the expanding population affected by obesity, sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary habits, and advancing age have contributed to the global rise in diabetes cases. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), it is projected that the global population with diabetes will reach approximately 640 million by 2040. In emerging countries like India, around 69 million individuals have diabetes, and this number is anticipated to climb to 100 million by 2030. Consequently, the surge in diseases like diabetes and arthritis is expected to be a driving force for the injection pen market.
The rising prevalence of obesity is anticipated to drive the growth of the injection pens market in the future. Obesity is a medical condition defined by an excess of body fat that can adversely affect an individual's health. Injection pens are utilized for obesity management, offering precise and adjustable dosing for medications such as insulin and allowing injections in specific areas for individuals with obesity. For example, data from 2022 released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a US government agency, shows that 22 states now have an adult obesity prevalence of 35% or higher, an increase from 19 states in 2021. Consequently, the growing prevalence of obesity is fueling the growth of the injection pens market.
Technological advancements represent a notable trend in the injection pen market. Companies in this sector are prioritizing product innovation and the development of efficient delivery systems. These technological strides facilitate precise medication delivery, enhance patient satisfaction and adherence, and improve overall usability. For instance, in September 2022, Medtronic, a US-based medical technology company, introduced InPen integrated with real-time Guardian Connect CGM data. This integrated solution consolidates crucial diabetes management information, including real-time glucose levels and insulin dosing, into a single screen, simplifying decision-making for users.
Major players in the injection pen market are dedicated to introducing innovative products like Wegovy to provide dependable services to customers. Wegovy, administered through an injection pen, is designed for treating patients dealing with obesity and weight loss. In September 2023, Novo Nordisk A/S, a Denmark-based pharmaceutical company, launched Wegovy. This injection pen contains the drug semaglutide, assisting patients in achieving a body weight reduction of approximately 15% when combined with exercise and lifestyle modifications.
In September 2023, Abbott Laboratories, a US-based medical devices company, acquired Bigfoot Biomedical Inc., bolstering its presence in the diabetes care sector with advanced glucose monitoring technology. This strategic move aims to develop user-friendly, cost-effective tools for individuals managing diabetes. Bigfoot Biomedical Inc., headquartered in California, is a medical technology company specializing in smart injection pens.
