Subcutaneous Drug Delivery Devices Market Report 2025

This Subcutaneous Drug Delivery Devices market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The subcutaneous drug delivery devices market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $27.66 billion in 2024 to $29.77 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, growing demand for self-administration of drugs, the rise in diabetes and obesity rates, patient preference for convenient treatments, and the rising geriatric population.

The subcutaneous drug delivery devices market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in the biologics and biosimilars market, rising adoption of wearable drug delivery systems, expansion of personalized medicine, improving healthcare reimbursement policies, and growing emphasis on home healthcare. Major trends in the forecast period include the integration of digital health technologies, the development of smart and connected devices, the rise of minimally invasive procedures, advancements in needle-free injection systems, and the emergence of artificial intelligence in device development.

The growing prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is expected to drive the expansion of the subcutaneous drug delivery devices market. The rise in these conditions is largely due to aging populations, poor diets, sedentary lifestyles, obesity, socioeconomic disparities, stress, environmental factors, and limited access to preventive healthcare. Subcutaneous drug delivery devices are widely used in diabetes management to administer insulin and other medications for glycemic control, as well as in CVD to deliver drugs like anticoagulants or lipid-lowering agents, offering a convenient and controlled way to manage these chronic diseases. For example, in April 2023, the British Diabetic Association, a UK-based charity, reported that 4.3 million people in the UK are currently living with diabetes, with new diagnoses increasing by 148,951 from 2020-21 to 2021-22. Additionally, over 2.4 million people in the UK are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, in May 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the U.S. revealed that heart disease caused 702,880 deaths in 2022, accounting for 1 in every 5 deaths. As a result, the rising prevalence of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is driving the growth of the subcutaneous drug delivery devices market.

Key players in the subcutaneous drug delivery device market are concentrating on developing advanced products such as miniature digital liquid flow sensors to improve the safety and accuracy of drug delivery. These sensors provide precise measurements of liquid flow rates and are especially useful for large-volume injectors. For instance, in May 2024, Sensirion AG, a Switzerland-based provider of environmental and flow sensors, introduced the SLD3x series sensor platform. This series includes highly accurate digital liquid flow sensors with customizable features, enabling precise flow measurement, occlusion detection, air bubble identification, and liquid temperature monitoring. These miniature sensors are suitable for large-scale medical device production, ensuring optimal dosing and enhanced patient safety in subcutaneous drug delivery.

In May 2022, Halozyme Therapeutics Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, acquired Antares Pharma Inc. for $0.96 billion. This acquisition aims to enhance Halozyme's biopharmaceutical capabilities by incorporating Antares' innovative drug delivery technologies and expanding its portfolio. The goal is to improve patient outcomes and accelerate the global development of Halozyme’s ENHANZE technology. Antares Pharma Inc., also based in the US, specializes in subcutaneous drug delivery devices.

Subcutaneous drug delivery devices are medical devices designed to administer medications directly into the subcutaneous tissue, which is the layer of fat and connective tissue just beneath the skin. These devices are employed for delivering various drugs, including insulin, hormones, and biologics, offering a convenient and minimally invasive method of administration.

The main types of subcutaneous drug delivery devices include insulin pens, pen needles, injector pens, auto-injectors, and implantable pumps. Insulin pens are handheld devices used for precise and convenient insulin administration in diabetes management, enabling users to easily measure and inject doses. These devices are used in various applications, such as diabetes, fertility, and oncology, and are utilized by different end-users, including hospitals, clinics, homecare settings, and ambulatory surgical centers.
