The global auto-injectors market size was estimated at USD 20.59 billion in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.4% from 2024 to 2030. Rising incidence of anaphylactic shock and other diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid, & multiple sclerosis along with increasing approvals of auto-injectors are impelling growth.
Increasing prevalence of life-threatening allergies and rising demand for these devices are expected to aid growth. As per the Food Allergy Research & Education, around 200, 000 people every year need emergency medical care for allergic food reactions.
In addition, increasing approvals are anticipated to drive growth. For instance, in August 2018, U.S. FDA approved the first generic epinephrine auto-injector of Teva Pharmaceuticals to treat emergency allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Generic versions of EpiPen Jr & EpiPen of 0.15 mg & 0.3 mg, respectively, are indicated for pediatric and adult patients weighing more than 33 pounds.
Moreover, manufacturers are also developing new products and innovative technologies, which is expected to propel market growth. For instance, in June 2018, AbbVie GK launched Humira, which is a fully human antitumor necrosis factor alpha monoclonal antibody formulation with lock function & injection start & end alerts as well as an inspection window and injects completely in 10 seconds. Demand for these devices is increasing as they are designed in accordance with patient acceptance and compliance. Technological advancements are anticipated to make them more convenient and user-friendly. This is encouraging patients to adopt this technology for chronic illnesses.
