Disposable Syringes Global Market Report 2026

Disposable syringes are single-use medical devices primarily made of plastic, designed for administering injections or aspirating fluids. They are widely used in both medical and veterinary settings due to their convenience and cost-effectiveness. Available in various sizes (typically ranging from 1 ml to 10 ml), they can come with or without attached needles. Their design facilitates safe disposal after a single use, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination and the transmission of infectious diseases.

The primary categories of disposable syringes include conventional syringes and safety syringes. Conventional disposable syringes are traditional small hollow tubes employed for injecting or withdrawing liquids. They involve attaching a needle to draw fluids from the body or administer drugs into the body. These syringes find applications in various scenarios such as immunization injections and therapeutic injections. They are utilized by a range of end users, including hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, blood banks, and the pharmaceutical industry.

Tariffs are influencing the disposable syringes market by increasing costs of imported plastics, stainless steel needles, molding equipment, and sterilization machinery. Healthcare systems and pharmaceutical manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported components, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on export-oriented syringe production. These tariffs are raising procurement costs for large immunization programs. However, they are also driving domestic syringe manufacturing, regional capacity expansion, and investments in automated high-volume production lines.

The disposable syringes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $12.51 billion in 2025 to $13.42 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing global vaccination initiatives, widespread use of disposable medical devices, expansion of healthcare infrastructure, growth in chronic disease treatments, availability of low-cost plastic syringes.

The disposable syringes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.02 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in vaccination preparedness, rising focus on needlestick injury prevention, expansion of pharmaceutical manufacturing, growing demand from emerging healthcare markets, continuous innovation in syringe safety mechanisms. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of safety-engineered syringes, rising demand for auto-disable syringes, growing focus on infection prevention measures, expansion of mass immunization programs, enhanced focus on high-volume manufacturing efficiency.

The rising use of injectable drugs is expected to drive the growth of the disposable syringes market in the future. Injectable drugs are medications administered directly into the bloodstream using a syringe and needle, commonly used to treat various diseases and chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. Disposable syringes are essential for the safe and efficient delivery of these medications, including vaccines, insulin, and other injectable pharmaceuticals. For example, a report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in July 2024 noted that in 2023, 37% of participants reported heroin as their most commonly injected drug, up from 35% in 2022. Additionally, the percentage of participants using methamphetamine remained stable, at 56% in 2023 compared to 54% in 2022. Thus, the increasing use of injectable drugs is significantly driving the growth of the disposable syringes market.

Major companies in the disposable syringe market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as single-use syringes, to enhance patient safety and reduce the risk of infection. These syringes are designed for one-time use to inject or withdraw fluids, ensuring sterility and minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. Typically made of plastic, they are disposed of immediately after use to promote safety in healthcare settings. For example, in May 2024, Hindustan Syringes and Medical Devices, an India-based manufacturer, launched Dispojekt single-use syringes aimed at significantly reducing the incidence of needle-stick injuries. Dispojekt syringes feature a Sharps Injury Prevention (SIP) shield to minimize the risk of accidental needle-stick injuries, ensuring the safety of both healthcare workers and patients. Their user-friendly, one-handed activation mechanism allows for safe disposal without altering injection techniques, making the process more efficient for medical professionals. Additionally, by reducing needle-stick incidents, these syringes help lower healthcare costs related to disease treatment and post-exposure care, ultimately benefiting the healthcare system financially.

In September 2023, Sharps Technology, Inc., a US-based medical products and manufacturing company, acquired the InjectEZ specialty prefillable syringe manufacturing facility in West Columbia, South Carolina, from Nephron Pharmaceuticals for an undisclosed amount, reported at approximately $50 million. Through this acquisition, Sharps aims to accelerate the commercialization of its next-generation copolymer prefillable syringes in the U.S. market and meet multi-year purchase commitments from Nephron and other customers. InjectEZ LLC is a US-based company that manufactures disposable syringes.
