Globally, there is a growing demand for injection pens owing to the growing prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing number of regulatory approvals, technological advancements in injection pens and favorable reimbursement and government support. However, injection pens have certain challenges pertaining to misuse and needle-stick injuries.
This, coupled with the preference for alternative drug delivery modes, poor reimbursement scenario in developing countries, and needle anxiety are the major factors restraining the growth of the injection pens market. However, the patent expiry of biologics which will increase the demand for biosimilars and the growth opportunities in the emerging markets are expected to offer growth opportunities for players in the injection pens market during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on the injection pens market. Patients already using injection pens for various therapies continued to use the same during the pandemic. However, the supply chain for injection pens was disrupted due to mobility restrictions, closed borders, and a decline in overall trade. COVID-19-infected patients who received treatment are at a higher risk of becoming diabetic. Hence, growth in the incidence of diabetes will increase the demand for injection pens.
The injection pen-based devices segment holds the largest market share during the forecast period.
Based on type, the injection pens market is segmented into reusable and disposable injection pens. In 2020, the disposable injection pens segment accounted for the largest share of the overall injection pens market. The large share of the disposable injection pens segment can be attributed to its greater adoption due to lack of risk of infection or contamination of the drug, high patient compliance, and ease of handling.

The insulin segment is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period
Based on type of diabetes therapy, the injection pens market for diabetes therapy is segmented into insulin and GLP-1. In 2020, the insulin segment accounted for the highest growth of the injection pens market for diabetes therapy.
