Prefilled Syringes Market– Insights

Prefilled syringes are one of the fastest growing choices for unit dose delivery and have emerged as one of the most convenient drug delivery methods in the recent years. The extensive use of prefilled syringes has enabled pharmaceutical companies to minimize drug-wastage and simultaneously increase the life-span of the product. Plastic disposable syringes created a revolution in the healthcare market which has been enhanced by the introduction of sterile, prefilled syringes that enable safe self-administration of injectable drugs without having to visit the hospital.

According to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) 2014, 25% of expenditure on drugs is unused in the U.S. while 3-7% of medications intended for patients are unused. These massive revenues could be directed in a useful way with the use of prefilled syringes in the market that can improve shelf life of the drug and also prevent wastage as syringes are filled with the exact volume and concentration of the drug. Prefilled syringes can be advantageous for pharmaceutical companies in terms of the cost of biopharmaceuticals, as syringes can reduce overfilling of drugs compared to vials.

The global prefilled syringes market size was valued at US$ 4,892.9 million in 2019, and is expected to witness a CAGR of 10.3% over the forecast period (2019–2027).
