A prefilled syringe is a syringe filled with a fixed quantity of a therapeutic drug. These are novel devices used for delivering drugs with improved accuracy, affordability, efficacy, convenience, sterility, safety, and accessibility. These features make it more advantageous than traditional methods of drug delivery where glass or metal vials were used to store pharmaceutical drugs. The removal of drug from these vials was prone to contamination and increased the possibility of dosing errors. Therefore, prefilled syringes eliminate the mentioned drawbacks, resulting in increase in their demand.
The growth in home-based healthcare market, increase in adoption of injectable drugs, rise in incidence rate of chronic diseases, and surge in benefits of using prefilled syringes over conventional vials drive the growth of the market. Moreover, technological advancements related to the prefilled syringes contribute toward the growth of the market. However, stringent government regulations, availability of alternative drug-delivery methods, and product recalls are expected to hinder the market growth. Conversely, the growth of biologics & biosimilars and increase in demand for injectable drugs in prefilled forms offer the lucrative growth opportunities for the market.
The global prefilled syringes market is segmented on the basis of material, design, therapeutic, application, and region. Based on material, the market is categorized into glass-based and plastic-based. By design, it is classified into single-chamber prefilled syringes, dual-chamber prefilled syringes, and customized prefilled syringes.

Executive Summary
According to a new report titled, “Global Prefilled Syringes Market by Material, Design, Therapeutic, and Application: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2030, the global prefilled syringes market size was valued at $5,620.23 million in 2020, and is projected to reach $15,735.49 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.8% from 2021 to 2030.Healthcare professionals use prefilled syringes to administer fixed single-dose of drugs to the patient. Prefilled syringes are used to package a variety of drugs and diluents, such as therapeutic proteins, vaccines, and insulin. Some of the advantages of using these syringes over traditional syringes are ease of administration, elimination of dosing errors, and reduced risk of contamination.
The major factors that drive the growth of prefilled syringes market are growth in home-based healthcare market, increase in adoption of injectable drugs, rise in incidence of chronic diseases that require frequent drug administration, benefits over syringe packaging systems, and surge in demand for point-of-care drug administration. However, the presence of alternative drug delivery means, the cost associated with the manufacturing of prefilled syringes, storage problem for these syringes, and stringent regulations set by government authorities impede the market growth. Moreover, technological advancements, new innovations, and meeting the unmet demands of patients for unit dose medication in solution form provide opportunities for the market growth in the future.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak began in late December in Hubei province of Wuhan city in China. Named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it is transmitted among humans. There is rise in the demand for the prefilled syringes over glass ampoules or any other additional needles due to reduced risk of needle-stick injuries. Therefore, to increase the production of COVID-19 vaccine, the manufacturers have increased the production capacity of the prefilled syringes. For instance, the U.S. government has signed a deal of $138 million with the syringe makers to facilitate the production of 100 million prefilled syringes for the COVID-19 vaccines by the end of 2020.
The market players have increased the investment in raw materials and resources owing to rise in demand for home based healthcare services. Health care professionals have responded to new and varied ways of delivering the appropriate quantity of care by embracing telemedicine, which help to reduce face-to-face interaction. The increased role of community and individual pharmacists in the management of chronic conditions, as well as the promotion of medication adherence during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has eased the burden of healthcare systems. Overall, the impact of COVID-19 on the prefilled syringes market was recorded to be fairly positive. This was attributed to rise in the demand for prefilled syringes over glass ampoules or any other additional needles. Moreover, the market players have increased the investment in raw materials and resources owing to rise in demand for home based healthcare services.
