The global syringes market is witnessing growth due to the high replacement rates of syringes and high incidences of chronic diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. The increased healthcare provider’s compliance for syringes, growing government involvement regarding the safe usage of syringes, and advancements in the development of prefilled syringes is creating ample opportunities for the growth of the global syringes market. The advanced research and development activities and new product developments by the major market players are supporting the demand for better, safe and cost effective syringes, thus fuelling the growth of the global syringes market.
The increasing usage of prefilled syringes is a trend witnessed in the global syringes market. Syringes refer to medical devices, which are used to inject drug solutions into the body or remove the fluid from the body. A syringe consists of a needle and is made up of metal, glass, hard rubber tube or plastic. Syringes are extensively used for the administration of injectable drugs in various medical conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes. According to the WHO, 17.5 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2012, thus representing 31% of all deaths globally. The organization also reported 14 million new cancer cases across the globe in 2012. Similarly, according to the International Diabetes Federation, approximately 387 million people were having diabetes in 2014, and the number is expected to increase up to 592 million by 2035.
