Executive Summary
According to this report titled, 'Global Hypodermic Needles Market: Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2030' the global Hypodermic Needles Market size was valued at $3.3 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach $4.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2020 to 2030.A hypodermic needle is a hollow needle widely used across medical settings to carry out different applications, such as drug delivery, vaccination, and blood specimen collection. These needles function through two different mechanisms, namely safety and non-safety needles. They are used to administer and inject drugs in the body and also to withdraw fluids from the body for examination and research purposes.
Hypodermic needles also serve important roles in research requiring sterile conditions. The hypodermic needle significantly reduces contamination during inoculation of a sterile substrate in two ways. First, its surface is extremely smooth, preventing airborne pathogens from becoming trapped between irregularities on the needle’s surface, which could subsequently be transferred into the media as contaminants. Second, the needle’s point is extremely sharp, significantly reducing the diameter of the hole remaining after puncturing the membrane, which consequently prevents microbes larger than the hole from contaminating the substrate. Also because of increase in applications of hypodermic needles, especially in clinics, hospitals, and by physicians has formulated the need of regulatory guidelines to evaluate the performance and quality of these needles.
