The safety lancet market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.96 billion in 2024 to $2.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to improved medical device regulations, increasing investments by public and private organizations for diabetes care, a focus on infection control, rising preference towards home healthcare, and growing demand for easy-to-use, single-use lancets.

The safety lancet market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.03 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising prevalence of diabetes, rising preference towards home healthcare, increasing number of healthcare facilities, upsurge in geriatric population base, and rising prevalence of chronic diseases. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, empowering patients to manage their health, a focus on infection control, regulatory emphasis on patient safety, and a growing home healthcare market.

The increasing prevalence of diabetes is expected to drive the growth of the safety lancet market in the future. Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels properly. This rising prevalence is linked to factors such as higher obesity rates, sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary habits, an aging population, and genetic factors. Safety lancets are crucial in diabetes management as they allow for the safe and convenient collection of blood samples for glucose testing, reducing the risk of infection and needle-stick injuries. For example, in April 2023, the British Diabetic Association reported that approximately 4.3 million people in the UK were diagnosed with diabetes in 2022, an increase of 148,951 cases compared to 2021. Thus, the growing incidence of diabetes is fueling the demand for safety lancets.

Leading companies in the safety lancet market are creating innovative devices like heel lancets to improve safety and accuracy during heel puncture procedures for infants. These sterile, single-use lancets help reduce the risk of infection. Heel lancets are small, pointed instruments used to prick the heel for blood sample collection, frequently employed in newborn screening and diabetes monitoring. For example, in October 2023, Owen Mumford, a UK-based medical solutions company, introduced the Unistik Heelstik neonatal and pediatric capillary blood sampling devices. These devices incorporate advanced safety mechanisms to ensure precise punctures while minimizing discomfort for infants and lowering the risk of needlestick injuries for healthcare professionals.

In January 2022, ICU Medical Inc., a US-based medical equipment manufacturer, acquired Smiths Medical from Smiths Group plc for approximately $2.7 billion. This acquisition aims to broaden ICU Medical's portfolio and global reach in the healthcare sector, including syringe and ambulatory infusion devices, vascular access, and vital care products. The acquisition will enhance ICU Medical's existing offerings by leveraging the expertise and resources of both companies. Smiths Medical, a UK-based medical technology firm, provides innovative solutions for healthcare professionals and patients, including safety lancets for blood collection.

A safety lancet is a single-use medical device designed for blood sampling. It contains a sterile, spring-loaded needle or blade that automatically retracts after use, minimizing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries and preventing cross-contamination. Safety lancets are commonly used in healthcare settings for procedures such as blood glucose testing, where small, precise blood samples are required.

The main types of safety lancets include push-button safety lancets, pressure-activated safety lancets, and side-button safety lancets. Push-button safety lancets feature a simple push-button mechanism that, when activated, quickly and safely punctures the skin for procedures such as glucose testing and other blood-related diagnostics. These devices are used for various applications, including blood glucose testing, hemoglobin testing, and cholesterol testing, with end users such as hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, pathology laboratories, and home diagnostics.
