Important players in prefilled syringes market are Bayer Healthcare, Biocon, Becton, Dickinson & Company, Gerresheimer AG, Haselmeier AG, Nipro Medical Corporation, Owen Mumford, SCHOTT, Unilife Corporation and Vetter Pharma International GmbH.
The conventional syringe vial combination has been replaced by prefilled syringes as they are helpful to healthcare professionals due to the ease of drug injection procedures and time saving. In addition, the decreasing manufacturing cost of prefilled syringes and their increasing demand from homecare and institutional patients for self-injection will drive the prefilled syringes market. Diabetes segment represents the superior share in prefilled syringes market owing to the rising prevalence of diabetes and increasing demand for prefilled insulin syringes for its excellent results in patients suffering with type 1 diabetes. Anaphylaxis segment employs prefilled syringes under emergency situations arisen due to anaphylactic shock reactions. Prefilled syringes are used by the pharmaceutical companies to store biotech drugs and vaccines that have stability issues while transferring them from vials to syringes.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has stated in its 2019 report that approximately eighty six percent of the United States annual healthcare expenditures are for the treatment of people suffering with chronic ailments. North America is the leader in global prefilled syringe market as a result of increasing number of citizens suffering with chronic ailments and enhanced spending in the research and development of prefilled syringes. In Europe, increasing demand for prefilled syringes in homecare settings and domicile of key players pioneering in manufacture of vaccines and biosimilars will drive its market. Asia Pacific reflects substantial market opportunity on account of welcoming regulatory environment for prefilled syringes and government spending in developing healthcare infrastructure for the middle- and low-income people to avail medication for chronic ailments. Provision of healthcare aid by agencies such as the World Health Organization and Red Cross, and health awareness campaign conducted by premier player will proliferate the prefilled syringes market in Middle East and Africa and Latin America.
Prefilled syringe materials have 2 value additions in healthcare drug delivery: the primary packaging aspects of syringe manufacturing provides assurance that there is no untoward effect on the drug shelf life, strength and purity; and convenience in administering the appropriate amount of the medication to the patient. Glass syringes have advantages such as optical clarity in which medication volumes are read to the point as the plunger is parallel with the calibration in syringe, and possess excellent thermal and chemical resistance properties. The drawbacks associated with glass syringes are breakage, potential surface reactivity, leaching and particulate contamination. Plastic syringes made from cyclic polyolefin resin are gaining tremendous popularity among healthcare professionals. The inherent features of plastic syringes with break resistance, decreased surface reactivity, reduced drug adsorption and compatible with high and low pH drug solutions.
