Filter Needles Global Market Report 2024

The filter needles market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.46 billion in 2023 to $1.59 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing emphasis on patient safety and infection control, regulatory requirements regarding medication preparation and administration, growth in healthcare infrastructure, and increased healthcare spending globally.

The filter needles market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.22 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be credited to several factors, including the increasing preference for single-use medical devices to reduce contamination risks, the ongoing modernization of healthcare facilities, a growing aging population, heightened attention to infection control measures, and a rising trend toward home-based healthcare services. Significant trends expected during this period comprise the integration of smart features, a focus on sustainability in medical device production, innovations in safety features such as needlestick prevention mechanisms and ergonomic designs, the incorporation of remote monitoring capabilities into filter needle devices, and the integration of advanced technologies such as automation and connectivity.

An increase in surgical procedures is anticipated to drive the expansion of the filter needle market in the foreseeable future. Surgical processes involve medical interventions conducted by surgeons or healthcare professionals to address illnesses, injuries, or deformities through operative measures. The surge in surgical procedures is attributed to advancements in medical technology, broader accessibility to healthcare services, and the escalating incidence of chronic diseases necessitating surgical intervention for treatment. Filter needles play a critical role in surgical procedures by ensuring the purity and sterility of medication solutions, thereby safeguarding patient safety and mitigating the risk of contamination or infection during surgeries. For instance, in March 2023, data from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons revealed a significant increase in cosmetic surgical procedures performed in the UK, totaling 31,057 in 2022, marking a notable 102% rise from the previous year. Consequently, the uptick in surgical procedures is propelling the growth of the filter needle market.

Leading companies in the filter needle market are directing their efforts towards the development of innovative solutions, such as integrated filter needles, to enhance their competitive position. Integrated filter needles, characterized by their all-in-one design, eliminate the need for healthcare professionals to change needles after filtering medication, thereby simplifying the medication preparation process. For instance, in May 2024, CarrTech Corp., a US-based medical device firm, introduced the FROG (Filter Removal of Glass) device, a patented medical instrument engineered to streamline the extraction of medications from glass ampoules. The FROG represents an integrated filter needle solution, enabling technicians and providers to withdraw medication from ampoules without needle changes, consequently lowering the risks associated with needle sticks, contamination, and potential harm to patients.

In January 2022, ICU Medical Inc., a US-based company specializing in innovative medical products for infusion therapy, acquired Smiths Medical from Smiths Group plc for an undisclosed sum. The acquisition was intended to integrate syringe and ambulatory infusion devices, vascular access solutions, and vital care products into ICU Medical's existing portfolio. Smiths Medical, also based in the US, is known for its production of filter needles.

A filter needle is a specialized medical instrument crafted with an integrated filter aimed at eliminating particulates, contaminants, or impurities from medications or solutions being drawn into or expelled from a syringe. Frequently employed in medical environments, these needles play a critical role in guaranteeing the safety and purity of injectable medications, especially during the process of withdrawing medication from ampoules or reconstituting powdered drugs.

The primary varieties of filter needles encompass membrane filter needles, depth filter needles, and others. Membrane filter needles are specialized medical tools engineered with a porous membrane serving as a filtration barrier to eliminate particulate matter and impurities from liquid medications or solutions. They are crafted from materials such as stainless steel, glass, and others, with applications spanning drug preparation, laboratory procedures, and more. These needles find utility across a spectrum of end-users, including hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and others.
