Injection Pen Market Analysis

An injector pen, also called a medication pen, is a device that is used to inject medication under the skin. Injector pens are designed to make injectable therapy easier and more convenient for patients, aiming to increase patient adherence. Given the additional work involved in administering an injection and the possibility of an adverse reaction to self-injecting medication, this is particularly troublesome with injectable treatments.

Injection Pen Market Overview

A few prevalent and expensive long-term health issues are influenced by societal behavioural shifts and the aging population. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that by 2026, 57% of people would have a chronic lifestyle condition. Given that developing nations are predicted to have a population increase, emerging markets will be particularly heavily hit. People are more likely to lead sedentary lifestyles as a result of the rapid urbanization, which contributes to obesity and diabetes. One of the main issues facing world health in the twenty-first century is diabetes. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that there were roughly 46 million diabetics in North America in 2019 and that figure is expected to rise to 62 million by 2045.

The disease prevalence has increased by almost 35% within the anticipated time frame. In addition, many chronic illnesses like multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases necessitate repeated medication administration for illness management. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that cardiovascular problems account for over 17.9 million fatalities annually, making them the leading cause of death. It is becoming the new norm for injectable drug delivery across a sizable patient base worldwide. Injection pens are widely utilized in home healthcare settings, which contributes to their market growth. Additionally, a large patient population may use them with little training and no ongoing help from healthcare experts.

Injection Pen Market Drivers and Opportunities

Adoption of Strategic Growth Development by Major Players for Injection Pen Products Favors Market

The presence of multiple market players is a defining feature of the injection pen market. Market participants employ a variety of tactics, including new product releases, regional growth, and technology improvements, to grow their market share. The industry participants are beginning to accept injection pens more because of their growing involvement in ongoing innovation and technical advancements. Prominent firms make R&D investments to create cutting-edge technologies and increase profits.

A few key developments related to injection pen are mentioned below:

• In May 2022, the FDA authorized Lilly's Mounjaro injectable in May 2022 as the first and only glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) injection for the management of adult type 2 diabetes. Six doses of Mounjaro are available: 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and 15 mg. It is packaged in Lilly's renowned auto-injector pen, which has a hidden needle already attached.
• In January 2022, SHL Medical and Innovation Zed teamed up to provide linked pen injector solutions . It introduced InsulCheck DOSE, a linked add-on gadget that upgrades conventional pen injectors into intelligent tools to assist in the tracking of treatment plans.
• In November 2021, In order to boost the uptake of a connected add-on for disposable insulin pens, Sanofi and Roche teamed up  to collaborate in France. The partners will work together to create a scientific education program for pharmacists and doctors.
• In September 2021, a new deal on the Mallya Smart Sensor with Novo Nordisk FlexTouch insulin pens was signed. Further solidifying BIOCORP and Novo Nordisk's cooperation. Immediately attached to Novo Nordisk FlexTouch insulin pens is a smart sensor known as Mallya. Patients utilizing FlexTouch pens will be able to record and capture daily insulin injection data with Mallya, including insulin units and the date and time the medication was administered. The agreement states that Novo Nordisk would begin selling Mallya commercially in Japan in the first half of 2023.

Therefore, all the above-mentioned key developments are driving the growth of injection pen market.

Increasing Biologics Patent Expiry and Use of Biosimilars – An Opportunity in Injection Pen Market

Many chronic illnesses, including diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and cancer, are being treated with biologics. These medications are one-of-a-kind in their own right, and the companies who make and sell them are granted 20 years of patent protection. Due to the fact that the majority of patents have either expired or are about to expire, other market participants have started to introduce biosimilars, or their own versions of these medications.

In comparison to the original biologics, biosimilars—low-cost generic medications that are favoured by the government and insurance companies—have become extremely popular in recent years. The prominent market players are promoting the adoption of biosimilars, which further creates the demand for injection pens for its administration. As per AJMC, a total of forty biosimilars were approved and twenty-five new biosimilars were launched in the US till December 2022. Additionally, due to the rapid response, injectables have been used extensively, which has increased demand for injection pens for safety.

In addition, the producers of injection pens are continuously offering instruction on how to use them correctly to prevent complications like needle stick injuries and hypoglycaemia, which is anticipated to further expand the market for injection pen. For instance, Noble, a Aptar Pharma company is the global leader in the medical device training solution which improves the patient experience and outcomes by developing patient-centric drug delivery training devices including injection pen, autoinjector, prefilled syringe and others. Therefore, increased use of biosimilars, patent expiry and increased use of injectables for drug administration are likely to create ample opportunity for the growth of injection pen market in the coming years.
