Key Market Insights

Close to 60 needle-free injection systems are presently available / under development

Around 65% of needle-free injection systems are powered with spring actuators, followed by 28% devices which use compressed gas-based actuation mechanisms. It is worth highlighting that there are devices that use electromagnetic / Lorentz force-based actuators as well.

Nearly 50 microneedle devices are either already available in the market, or under development

Around 38% of such devices use dissolving microneedles, while 30% are based on hollow microneedles. With respect to the length of the needle, 41% of these devices have a needle length of 500-1,000 µ, while 29% claim to use 1,000 µ needles.

More than 70 biologics / small molecule drugs have been identified as likely products to be developed in combination with needle-free injection systems and microneedle devices

The report provides insights on over 600+ marketed drugs / therapies and pipeline candidates, assessing the likelihood of whether they may be developed in combination with needle-free injection systems and microneedle devices. The analysis takes into consideration stage of development, dosage, dose concentration, route of administration, type of dose and information on drug sales (for marketed drugs).

Outsourcing has emerged as a popular strategy for manufacturing important device components

The development of needle-free injection systems and microneedle devices is complex, characterized by the need for multiple components and multidisciplinary technical experience. It is worth highlighting that close to 30% of the total number of CMOs providing services for such injectors, have an employed workforce of more than 1,000 individuals.

North America and Europe are anticipated to capture over 60% of the overall market share by 2030

Growth in this market is anticipated to be primarily driven by reduced instances of needlestick injuries, consequently leading to improved patient compliance. Although developed markets are expected to capture the majority share, in terms of the sales-based revenues, by 2030, the market in Asia-Pacific is anticipated to exhibit a significantly higher annualized growth rate.

Chronic disorders and infectious diseases are expected to capture over 65% of the current market share

Given the minimally invasive nature of needle-free injection systems and microneedle devices, these products are likely to be preferred by patients suffering from chronic clinical conditions and for the delivery of vaccines, especially to infants.
