The global disposable syringes market size was USD 13.07 Billion in 2021 and is expected to register a revenue CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period, according to the latest analysis by Emergent Research. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, coupled with the increasing number of surgical procedures across the globe is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. In addition, the growing demand for self-administration of drugs and vaccines is expected to create significant growth opportunities for market players in the coming years.
The emergence of COVID-19 has had a positive impact on the market as there has been an increase in the demand for disposable syringes for vaccination purposes. However, the availability of alternatives is expected to restrain market growth to some extent over the forecast period.
The disposable syringe is a pre-sterilized, single-use syringe that is disposed of after a single use. It is made of plastic and has a Luer lock or Luer slip tip for connecting the needle. The syringe doesn’t have a needle attached to it, and the needle is disposed of after use. Disposable syringes are practical for emergency use as they come sterilized and individually packed. Disposable syringes with needles are used to measure and draw fluids from the body for various purposes such as injections, blood transfusions, and others.
Traditional glass syringes are being increasingly replaced by disposable syringes, mainly due to the rising prevalence of blood-borne diseases and cross-contamination. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), improper use and disposal of sharps account for a substantial number of injuries and infections worldwide. Hospitals and clinics are at a higher risk for contracting blood-borne diseases such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.
