Increasing incidences of Chronic Disorders
The wide variation in regards to the prevalence of diverse forms of chronic disorders
has rose significantly in recent times. It is estimated that the burden of chronic diseases
in America is approximately 133 million, i.e. 45% Americans suffer from one or the other
forms of chronic disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic
diseases are responsible for majority of deaths across the world. It has been
approximated that the total number of deaths worldwide, resulting from cardiovascular
diseases is a staggering 17.8 million annually. However, preventable nature of such
diseases makes the treatment of such condition manageable with early detection and
consistent treatment therapies. Increasing burden of chronic disorders on a global scale
are anticipated to be a major driver for the global disposable syringes market, which is
further anticipated to grow in the coming years.
Adoption of Biologics & Latest Technology
Drug delivery systems with capability to deliver drugs of high viscosity and varying
dosage have gained immense popularity with the introduction of biologics. Increasing
application and popularity of biologics is anticipated to contribute positively to the growth
of the disposable syringes market. Similarly, safety prospect of such devices, namely
error free drug delivery coupled with minimal needle-stick injury have been highly
beneficial in bringing down human error and simultaneously increasing the overall
efficiency of the drug delivery process. Introduction of innovative technologies and
simultaneous application of these in drug delivery systems is expected to present an
attractive growth prospect for the market in the times to come.
Presence of Alternate Drug Delivery Modes to Restrain the
Market
The presence of alternative modes for delivery of drugs is one of the major factors
affecting the growth of the disposable syringes market. Ease of use and cost
effectiveness are few factors which have established syringes as the preferred mode for
drug delivery. However, oral & topical medication is widely preferred mode of
medication. Also patients are anxious of needle stick injuries and are administered for
an alternative method for drug delivery.
