Oral Syringes Global Market Report 2026

Oral syringes are medical devices designed to accurately measure and administer liquid medications orally, particularly for infants, children, or patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. These syringes consist of a plunger and a clearly marked barrel, ensuring precise dosing without the need for a needle.

The primary types of oral syringes include clear oral syringes and colorful oral syringes. Clear oral syringes are transparent, graduated devices that allow for accurate measurement and clear visibility of liquid medications to ensure precise delivery. These syringes come in various capacities, including small, medium, and large volume options. They are commonly used in applications such as pediatric care, geriatric care, post-surgical or critical care, dental procedures, and other medical uses. End users of oral syringes include hospitals, clinics, home care settings, and other healthcare environments.

Tariffs have created moderate cost pressures in the oral syringes market by increasing prices of plastic resins, medical-grade polymers, and imported manufacturing equipment. These Tariffs are impacting production costs and pricing strategies, particularly affecting clear and colorful oral syringes across pediatric and home care segments, with asia-pacific and north america being the most affected regions due to high manufacturing and import dependency. Distribution channels such as online retail and pharmacy chains also face margin pressures. However, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing, supplier diversification, and investments in domestic production, supporting long-term supply chain resilience.

The oral syringes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.14 billion in 2025 to $1.22 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in pediatric liquid medication usage, increasing hospital admissions, rising awareness of dosing errors, expansion of pharmaceutical liquid formulations, adoption of oral drug delivery systems.

The oral syringes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.61 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to aging population growth, increase in home healthcare services, demand for safe needle-free administration, expansion of online pharmacy channels, innovation in ergonomic syringe design. Major trends in the forecast period include dose accuracy and medication safety focus, rising pediatric and geriatric medication demand, shift toward single-use and disposable devices, growth of home-based and self-administration care, customization of syringe design and capacity.

The growth of home healthcare is anticipated to drive the expansion of the oral syringes market in the coming years. Home healthcare includes medical and non-medical services delivered to individuals in their homes to aid recovery, manage chronic illnesses, or support overall health and independence. The expansion of home healthcare is largely attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, as a growing number of patients require continuous, long-term care in convenient and cost-efficient home environments. Oral syringes facilitate home healthcare by allowing the safe, precise, and convenient administration of liquid medications, particularly for pediatric and elderly patients. For example, in October 2024, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US-based federal agency, reported that home- and community-based care accounted for 4.3 million jobs in 2024, supported by 2.5 million workers in services for older adults and individuals with disabilities and 1.8 million workers in home health care. Consequently, the expansion of home healthcare is contributing to the growth of the oral syringes market.

The growing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the expansion of the oral syringes market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are long-term medical conditions that generally develop gradually and persist for a year or longer, often requiring continuous medical care and restricting daily activities. The increasing incidence of chronic diseases is mainly attributed to unhealthy lifestyle factors such as poor nutrition, lack of physical activity, smoking, and excessive alcohol intake, all of which significantly raise the risk of developing long-term health conditions. Oral syringes aid in the management of chronic diseases by allowing accurate, safe, and consistent administration of liquid medications, particularly for patients undergoing long-term treatment. For example, in April 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based organization responsible for safeguarding the nation's health, safety, and security through scientific research, reported that in 2023, 76.4% (approximately 194 million) of US adults had one or more chronic conditions, including 59.5% of young adults, 78.4% of midlife adults, and 93.0% of older adults. As a result, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases is contributing to the growth of the oral syringes market.

Key players in the oral syringes market are focusing on the development of innovative products, such as short-form syringes, to improve dosing precision while maintaining user-friendly designs. Short-form syringes are compact oral dosing devices engineered to deliver exact amounts of medication using a shorter barrel, which enhances ease of handling and administration. For example, in August 2024, Adelphi Healthcare Packaging, a pharmaceutical packaging firm based in the UK, introduced a new 1.5 ml short-form oral syringe as part of its expanded range of dosing pipettes. This compact syringe is tailored for accurate oral dosing and is suitable for both human and veterinary applications. It enables high-precision medication delivery in a small format and features an elm-end tip that prevents the attachment of luer connectors or needles, thereby reducing the risk of misuse for injections.
