The global Wearable Injectors market size was valued at US$ 14.9 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 27.2 % during forecast period 2021 to 2030.

Growth Factors

Wearable injectors are drug administration devices designed to deliver drugs in large volumes subcutaneously. It is gaining popularity owing to its advantages such as reduced pain, ease of administration, and elimination of costly health facility visits.

Over the last decade, patient interest in the self-administration of injectable drug therapies has grown. The increasing prevalence of diabetes, chronic pain, and auto-immune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, is increasing the use of wearable injectors. Their demand is increasing for the long-term management of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), high cholesterol, and cancer. This is expected to create a lucrative opportunity for advanced device manufacturers to make devices used to administer larger dose volumes at the comfort of home.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has brought remote care technologies, such as wearable injectors, into the spotlight. Demand for chronic disease products remains largely unaffected by the pandemic. Since wearable injectors serve with the option of delivering medications at home, its demand has also remained stable or rather grown for the short term. Patients suffering from chronic diseases are opting for these devices as it reduces the risk of exposure to COVID-19 by eliminating hospital visits. The pandemic has, however, affected some of the devices in the pipeline, affecting short-term investments. Leading players who continue to invest in innovation push projects forward despite COVID-19 are expected to put their companies in a stronger competitive position post-crisis.

Report Highlights

The on-body segment dominated the market in 2020 with a share of 55.7% and is projected to maintain its lead over the forecast period. These are comfortable to wear on the skin, particularly the stomach. They are also water-resistant and convenient to use at home.

In 2020, Enable Injections formed a partnership with Sanofi for its enFuse drug delivery platform. enFuse is an on-body drug delivery platform that has a self-contained drug transfer system, which is compatible with standard syringes or vial container formats. Based on type, the market is segmented into on-body and off-body wearable injectors.

The off-body segment is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period as these devices eliminate perils, such as painful removal of devices, adhesive fitting issues to the skin, and skin sensitivity or irritation. Moreover, the increasing investment in remote device development is another factor expected to introduce numerous new products for the off-body segment.

The spring-based segment dominated the market in 2020 with a share of 36.3% and is projected to maintain its lead over the forecast period. This is attributed to the rising demand for adhesive patches as these devices are user-friendly and enable patients to accurately deliver the drug subcutaneously by pressing one or more buttons on the device. Based on technology, the market is segmented into spring-based, motor-driven, rotary pump, expanding battery, and others, which include pressurized gas and collapsible reservoir technology-based wearable injectors.

The motor-driven segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to increasing customer demand for these devices as they are more convenient for use as compared to others. Ypsomed AG offers YpsoDose, a large volume patch injector that is based on the motor-driven system. In 2020, the company collaborated with SCHOTT and Lonza to develop a comprehensive solution for wearable patch injectors for the subcutaneous self-administration of large volumes of liquid formulations.

The oncology segment dominated the market in 2020 with a share of 29.9% owing to the rising prevalence of cancer, coupled with an increasing shift toward self-administration of medication among patients. Based on application, the market is segmented into oncology, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and others, which include anxiety, neurology, anemia/blood disorders, respiratory disorders, skin diseases, genetic disorders, and digestive disorders.

The autoimmune diseases segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period due to the rising prevalence of diabetes and the increasing adoption of wearable injectors due to their competitive advantage over insulin pumps. Stevanato Group offers a wearable device, SG EZ-be Pod, for diabetes patients. In 2020, the company had planned investments of USD 482.02 million, of which a significant amount is allocated to R&D programs for the manufacturing of drug delivery systems, including SG EZ-be Pod, its wearable device for the treatment of diabetes.

The home care segment dominated the market in 2020 with a share of 40.8% and is expected to maintain its lead over the forecast period.

The inclination of the masses towards easier methods of drug injection has also le to the growth of the global market for wearable injectors. Furthermore, the rising geriatric population that is at a risk of suffering needle stick injuries also propels demand within the global wearable injectors market.

Use of Traditional Methods to Hamper Growth

Despite several advantages of wearable injectors, several hospitals and healthcare centers still prefer to use traditional methods for the injection of drugs or hormonal liquids. This has emerged as a huge roadblock for the growth of the global market for wearable injectors. Furthermore, the lack of skilled professionals who can inform and instruct the patients about the usage of wearable injectors also hampers the growth of the global market. However, the nascent developments in the healthcare industry and sophistication of medical procedures are expected to propel demand within the global market for wearable injectors.

Popularity of Wearable Technologies to Drive Demand

The growing relevance of wearable injectors and technologies has created new pathways for market growth and maturity. Several medical experts have pointed to the potential of wearable technologies in helping the medical industry in expediting treatment processes. Minor jumps and medical advances can be a source of relief for patients suffering from chronic illnesses. The hassle of undergoing multiple manual procedures for administration of medical fluids can be extremely traumatizing for patients. Patients suffering from heart diseases, cancer, and diabetes are especially prone to suffering from excessive stress due to frequent exposure to hospitals for minor fluid administration. Therefore, use of wearable injectors has emerged as an important dynamic of market growth and maturity in recent times. It is legit to expect that the growth graph of the global wearable injectors market would ascend along a lucrative pathway in the years to come by.
