The global prefilled syringes market size is projected to reach USD 8.6 billion by 2025 from USD 5.6 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 9.0%. The growth in the prefilled syringes market is majorly driven by the rising demand for prefilled syringes is attributed to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, technological advancements, rising adoption of self-injecting parenteral devices, and supportive government regulations (especially needlestick legislations). In addition, growing awareness on the benefits of prefilled syringes among patients and healthcare professionals, along with the growing number of biologics and biosimilars in the pharmaceuticals market, is supporting the growth of the prefilled syringes market. However, the adoption of prefilled syringes with integrated safety features has been low among end users, and the continuation of this trend during the forecast period will restrain the market growth.

The recent COVID-19 global pandemic has also impacted the prefilled syringes market. Routine care for chronic diseases is an ongoing challenge amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic due to the change in routine care to virtual communication. Diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hypertension were the most impacted conditions due to a reduction in access to care. Furthermore, currently, most global healthcare resources are focused on coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and this resource reallocation is expected to disrupt the continuum of care for patients with chronic diseases.

“The safety prefilled syringes segment to witness the highest growth rate in the prefilled syringes market, by type, during the forecast period.”
The safety prefilled syringes segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period primarily due to the rising geriatric population globally and availability of biological therapies for patients with chronic conditions and outsourcing of low-risk medical procedures for chronic patients alleviates some of the pressure on hospital s

“The glass prefilled syringes segment accounted for the largest share of the prefilled syringes market, by material, in 2019.”
The glass prefilled syringes segment accounted for the largest share of the prefilled syringes industry in 2019.
