In the year 2025, the industry size of prefilled syringes is estimated at USD 19.94 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of HIV and hepatitis-B cases. The self-filling needles used with patients who have hepatitis and HIV have frequently been used incorrectly. Therefore, prefilled syringes are the ideal treatment option for people with hepatitis and HIV. Further, the growing adoption of biologics and biosimilars, is also expected to add to the market growth. According to estimates, over 1,180,000 Americans had HIV in 2019.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of prefilled syringes include the rise in demand of self-injection devices. For instance, prefilled syringes are increasingly used to dispense self-administered medications such as anticoagulants, growth hormones, and insulin. Further, these syringes offer patients a quick, precise, and secure option to self-administer these medications.
Growth Drivers
Growing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases – The need for pre-filled syringes is being driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. In 2018, over 27% of American people had more than one chronic disease.
Rising Geriatric Population – The Elderly population is more prone to chronic diseases and the rising number of elderly populations across the globe is estimated to drive market growth. According to estimates, the proportion of the aged population in India increased by more than 10% in 2021.
Increasing Spending in Healthcare – Demand for pre-filled syringes is expected to certainly increase as a result of rising healthcare spending as healthcare professionals look for innovative tools and solutions that is poised to enhance patient outcomes, cut costs, and boost productivity. According to the most recent expenditure data, health spending in the US increased by over 2% in 2021.
Increasing Number of Needles-Related Infectious Cases – It is expected that infectious illnesses can spread as a result of needlestick injuries. Further, sharing injecting supplies raises the possibility of spreading and catching blood-borne illnesses including HIV and hepatitis B and C, which is anticipated to drive the market growth. According to the WHO, 6 billion injections with contaminated needles are given each year, accounting for more than 4% of all new HIV cases worldwide.

Application (Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Anaphylaxis, Cancer)
The global prefilled syringes market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into diabetes, multiple sclerosis, anaphylaxis, cancer and others. Out of the five applications of prefilled syringes, the diabetes segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about 54% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of diabetes across the globe. The need for pre-filled syringes and insulin is expected to rise along with the prevalence of diabetes. For instance, insulin shots are necessary to maintain normal blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes. Pre-filled syringes offer a quick and convenient way to inject insulin at home or on the go for patients with diabetes who need frequent dosage. Further, the rising popularity of self-medication is projected to boost demand for pre-filled syringes among diabetic patients as it decreases the need for frequent trips to medical facilities. According to estimates, diabetes affected over 37 million Americans in 2019.
Material (Glass-Based, Plastic Based)
The global prefilled syringes market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by material into glass-based, and plastic based. Amongst these two segments, the glass-based segment is expected to garner a significant share of around 54% in the year 2037. Drug makers prefer glass-based prefilled syringes owing to their superior barrier qualities. Oxygen and water vapor are shielded from drug molecules by the barrier qualities of glass. For instance, glass is utilized in over 90% of PFSs. Besides this, glass provides long-term drug stability for biopharmaceuticals. This, as a result, is anticipated to create numerous opportunities for the growth of the segment in the coming years.

Europe Market Forecast
The market share of prefilled syringes in Europe, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to be the largest with a share of about 41% by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing geriatric population. As the older population grows, there is predicted to be a growing demand for healthcare services in the region, including the usage of pre-filled syringes to administer medication. For instance, pre-filled syringes have a number of advantages, including their simplicity of use, which is crucial for senior patients who may find it difficult to handle conventional vials and syringes. Also, the demand for some pharmaceuticals, such as vaccinations and biologics, which are frequently administered via pre-filled syringes, is probably going to rise as the older population in the area continues to rise. Further, the growing adoption of self-injection devices in the region, along with the expansion of the biologics and biosimilar market, are also anticipated to contribute to the market growth in the region. In addition, the growing investment in injectable pharmaceuticals and rapid vaccination drive is also anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period. According to statistics, Europe had over 15% of old people in 2021.
APAC Market Statistics
The Asian Pacific prefilled syringes market is estimated to hold the second largest, share by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing use of injectable drugs. For instance, injectable drugs are increasingly required to treat a variety of chronic disorders, such as diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune diseases, as the region's population continues to age and increase. Pre-filled syringes are becoming more and more common in the area as they are simpler to use and safer than conventional syringes and vials. Particularly for patients who self-administer their medication at home, they provide a more practical and effective method of medication delivery. Further, the increasing technological advancements in the field of prefilled syringes in the region and the surging geriatric population are also anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
North American Market Forecast
