Self-Injections Global Market Report 2026

Self-injection refers to the act of administering medications or drugs through a device by an individual to themselves without the assistance of a medical professional. This practice allows patients to independently manage their medication regimen.

The primary types of self-injections encompass devices and formulations. These devices enable patients to self-administer medications that require injection without relying on medical professionals. Self-injection devices are utilized for various routes of administration such as skin, circulatory or musculoskeletal systems, organs, and the central nervous system. Dosage types include single-dose and multi-dose, catering to applications in autoimmune diseases, hormonal disorders, oncology, orphan diseases, pain management, respiratory therapy, among others. These devices are distributed through various channels including hospitals, pharmacies, clinics, chemists, and online pharmacies.

Tariffs are influencing the self-injections market by increasing costs of imported medical-grade plastics, precision springs, electronic components, and sterile manufacturing equipment used in auto-injectors and wearable devices. Pharmaceutical and device manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to cross-border component sourcing, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on device exports. These tariffs are raising device production costs and pricing pressures. However, they are also encouraging localized device assembly, regional supplier partnerships, and investment in domestic medical device manufacturing capabilities.

This self-injections market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The self-injections market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.22 billion in 2025 to $11.04 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in chronic disease prevalence, increasing availability of injectable biologics, rising preference for home-based treatment, expansion of specialty pharmaceuticals, improvements in injection device ergonomics.

The self-injections market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.05 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for self-care therapies, rising adoption of digital health-enabled injectors, expansion of biologics pipelines, growing focus on adherence-enhancing drug delivery, increasing use of connected medical devices. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of auto-injector devices, rising demand for wearable injection systems, growing use of biologic self-administered therapies, expansion of patient-centric drug delivery designs, enhanced focus on safety and dose accuracy.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is expected to drive the expansion of the self-injections market in the coming years. Diabetes is a medical condition in which the pancreas, the organ responsible for insulin production, generates insufficient insulin, resulting in impaired blood sugar regulation and leading to serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, vision impairment, and kidney disorders. Self-injection devices allow individuals with diabetes to administer insulin and other therapies independently, helping them maintain optimal blood glucose levels and prevent excess sugar accumulation without reliance on healthcare professionals. For example, in November 2025, according to Diabetes Care, a United States-based international peer-reviewed medical journal, an estimated 634.8 million adults, representing 12.0 percent of the global adult population, were living with impaired glucose tolerance in 2024, a figure projected to rise to 846.5 million adults or 12.9 percent of the global adult population by 2050. As a result, the rising number of people with diabetes is contributing significantly to the growth of the self-injections market.

Leading companies operating in the self-injections market are increasingly prioritizing innovations in drug-delivery technologies, including hands-free and hidden-needle subcutaneous systems designed to simplify patient self-administration of large-volume biologic therapies. Hands-free, hidden-needle subcutaneous delivery involves wearable injectors that automatically deliver medication while concealing the needle, thereby improving comfort, safety, and ease of use. For instance, in November 2023, Enable Injections Inc., a United States-based drug-delivery technology company, received its first approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration for the enFuse large-volume wearable injector for use with EMPAVELI (pegcetacoplan). This compact, mechanical, body-worn system is capable of delivering up to 25 milliliters subcutaneously and supports both self-administration and in-clinic use, offering features such as hands-free operation and minimal disruption to patients' daily activities. The enFuse platform enhances convenience, promotes home-based care, and improves the overall patient experience for large-volume therapy delivery.

In May 2024, Enable Injections, Inc., a United States-based developer and manufacturer of the enFuse wearable drug-delivery platform, entered into a partnership with Roche Holding AG to apply the enFuse system to selected Roche molecules for subcutaneous administration. Through this collaboration, Enable Injections seeks to broaden access to large-volume self-administration therapies by enabling a transition from intravenous treatments to at-home subcutaneous delivery for a wider patient population. Roche Holding AG is a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical company with a strong focus on biologics and drug-device combination development.
