Market Insights

Growth in Strategic Developments

The injection pen market is characterized by the presence of various market players. To increase their market share, market players take up various strategies such as product launches, regional expansion, and technological advancements. Injection pens are more involved in continuous innovation and technological advances, leading to increased acceptance among industry players. Leading players invest in R&D to develop advanced technologies and gain more revenue.

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

  • In May 2022, FDA approved Lilly's Mounjaro injection, the first and only glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. Mounjaro is available in six doses (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and 15 mg) and comes in Lilly's well-established auto-injector pen with a pre-attached, hidden needle.
  • In January 2022, SHL Medical’s partnered with Innovation Zed for connected pen injector solutions. It launched InsulCheck DOSE, a connected add-on device that transforms traditional pen injectors into smart solutions to support the monitoring of disease management regimen.
  • In November 2021, Sanofi and Roche partnered to work together in France to increase the adoption of a connected add-on for disposable insulin pens. The partners will jointly develop a scientific educational program aimed at physicians and pharmacists.
  • In September 2021, BIOCORP and Novo Nordisk strengthened their partnership with a new agreement on Mallya Smart Sensor with Novo Nordisk FlexTouch insulin pens. A smart sensor called Mallya attaches directly to Novo Nordisk FlexTouch insulin pens. With Mallya, patients using FlexTouch pens will be able to capture and record daily insulin injection data, which includes insulin units, as well as date and time of the drug administration. Based on the agreement, Novo Nordisk will be commercializing Mallya in Japan from the first half of 2023.
  • In May 2021, Lilly collaborated internationally with leading diabetes technology companies to integrate connected insulin pen solutions for people with diabetes. The company signed strategic international agreements with four companies DexCom, Inc.; Glooko Inc.; myDiabby Healthcare; and Roche to advance connected solutions and streamline care for people suffering from diabetes.

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

Increase in Biologics Patent Expiry and Use of Biosimilars

Biologics are widely developed for treating chronic disorders such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes. These drugs are unique in their own way and manufacturers own patents of 20 years for manufacturing and distributing such drugs. As most of the patents are either expired or on the verge of expiry, other market players have begun launching their own version of such drugs, i.e., biosimilars. Biosimilars (generic drugs that are low priced and are preferred by the government and insurance companies) have gained tremendously traction over the past few years over the original biologics. The pharmaceutical market players are promoting the adoption of biosimilars, which further creates the demand for injection pens for its delivery. As per AJMC, a total of 40 biosimilars were approved and 25 new biosimilars were launched in the US till December 2022. Furthermore, there has been significant use of injectables on a large scale owing to prompt response, thus generating the demand for injection pens for safe.

Furthermore, the manufacturers of injection pen are constantly providing training for the proper use of injection pens to avoid associated danger such as needle stick injuries and hyperglycemia which are further expected to create opportunities for injection pen market. 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 are likely to create ample opportunity for the growth of injection pen market in the coming years.

Technological Advancements and Healthcare Waste Reduction

Various market players are operating globally and striving hard to acquire a significant market share. There has been a notable growth in the use of injection pen for the treatment of various chronic disorders such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and multiple sclerosis. Increase in home healthcare has further propelled the demand for injection pens. This has boosted the technological advancement in the injection pens. The manufacturers are focused on developing the next generation smart insulin pen for the delivery of metered insulin dosage. For instance, Medtronic plc launched InPen integrated with real-time Guardian Connect CGM data. InPen is the first and only FDA-cleared smart insulin pen on the market for people on multiple daily injections (MDI). This integrated system provides real-time glucose readings alongside insulin dose information giving users everything they need to manage their diabetes in one view. Rather than switching between apps, users can see all the required information in real time in one view, making it easier to make smarter dosing decisions to manage their sugar levels. Furthermore, the use of artificial intelligence will be the game changer, as it will keep a track of dose, date, and timing of drugs or insulin, which will be beneficial in a long term and helpful for the treatment and management of various conditions.

Conventional syringes used for the delivery of insulin and other injectables can be painful and uncomfortable for the patient on daily basis, and it also generate huge quantity of healthcare waste. Around 73% of insulin waste is associated with the use of conventional technology. With the use of injection pen, this waste is reduced to 3.6%, making a huge difference. Therefore, technological advancement and rising demand in the reduction of healthcare wastage are among the injection pen market trends.

Therapy-Based Insights

Based on therapy, the global injection pen market is segmented as diabetes therapy, growth hormone therapy, autoimmune diseases therapy, fertility therapy, cancer therapy, and Other Therapies. The diabetes therapy segment held the largest share of the market in 2021. The other therapies segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Other therapies involve migraine therapy. Migraine is a neurological condition causing moderate to severe headaches. For instance, migraine is common, affecting 39 million individuals in the US and 1 billion people globally, as per the estimates published in Healthline Media UK Ltd press. Therefore, with a migraine self-injection pen, an individual can self-administer migraine medication by inserting it into the tissue beneath the skin. These pens on administration can either be preventive, containing medication to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks, or acute attacks that help alleviate migraine headaches. Such notable developments will accelerate the overall demand for self-injection pens among individuals, fueling market growth during the forecast period.
