Dublin, Dec. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Autoinjectors Market by Type of Autoinjector, Route of Administration, Type of Molecule, Therapeutic Indication and Geography: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts, 2021-2035" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report features an extensive study of the current market landscape, offering an informed opinion on the likely adoption of autoinjectors till 2035. The report features an in-depth analysis, highlighting the diverse capabilities of stakeholders engaged in this domain.
According to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), nearly 52% of the adult population in the US is diagnosed with at least one chronic condition, such as asthma, diabetes, and hypertension. The annual cost burden associated with chronic disorders in the US is around USD 3.7 trillion; this accounts for nearly 20% of the country's GDP share.
A major share of expenses incurred by patients living with a chronic disorder is driven by the frequent need to medicate, which may require repeated visits to hospitals/out-patient clinics. In addition, patient compliance and adherence to the treatment regimen prove to be a challenge. In order to mitigate this challenge, a wide variety of self-administering injectable drugs have been developed, which impart greater independence and psychological benefits to the patients, as compared to drug administration by healthcare professionals.
Amongst the various self-injection devices, autoinjectors have steadily gained prominence, especially for the treatment of emergency and chronic conditions, such as anaphylactic shock and rheumatoid arthritis. The additional features of autoinjectors, such as integrated needle safety, Bluetooth connectivity, and monitoring injection dose history, enable them to resolve several injection-related compliance issues faced by the patients.
Given the inherent benefits of autoinjectors, a number of players have launched their proprietary products in combination with autoinjectors for use across a wide array of disease indications. One of the most widely recognized autoinjector in the market is EpiPen (Mylan), which is a prefilled epinephrine autoinjector. The generic version of EpiPen received the FDA approval in 2018. Notable examples of other autoinjector-based combination products include Fasenra Pen (AstraZeneca), Gvoke Hypopen (Xeris Pharmaceuticals), NUCALA Autoinjector (GlaxoSmithKline), and VyleesiT Autoinjector (AMAG Pharmaceuticals/Palatin Technologies).
Apart from being a patient-friendly alternative to conventional drug delivery methods, autoinjectors also serve as potential life cycle management tools; several pharmaceutical players have reformulated their proprietary drugs as autoinjector combination products to expand market exclusivity period. For instance, Amgen reformulated lyophilized Enbrel for delivery via the SureClick autoinjector to extend the patent protection of the drug by almost 11 years.
Further, it is worth mentioning that several autoinjector developers have made significant efforts in developing novel autoinjector technologies, paving the way for new generation of autoinjector devices. The field is presently witnessing several innovations, such as LED/LCD-based visualization, Bluetooth connectivity, dosage recording, safety lock, visual/audible drug delivery confirmation notifications, and automatic drug reconstitution. In this context, it is worth highlighting that nearly 5,000 patents have been filed/granted, since 2015, for autoinjectors and affiliated products/technologies. We believe that such efforts are likely to drive growth in this market over the coming years.
In addition to other elements, the study includes:
- An overview of the current market landscape of autoinjectors that are either marketed/being developed by various stakeholders, providing information on the usability (disposable and reusable), type of primary drug container (cartridge, syringe and vial), volume of container, type of dose (fixed and variable), route of administration (intradermal, intracavernosal, intramuscular and subcutaneous), actuation mechanism (automatic and manual) and feedback mechanism integrated in the device.

- An in-depth analysis of the patents that have been filed/granted for autoinjectors, highlighting trends across key parameters, such as type of patent, publication year, issuing authority, CPC classification, emerging focus areas and leading industry players (on the basis of number of patents). It also includes a detailed patent benchmarking and an insightful valuation analysis.
- A review of autoinjectors being developed in combination with drugs, featuring details on initial year of approval (for marketed products), phase of development, usability of the device, route of administration (intracavernous, intramuscular and subcutaneous), type of drug molecule (antibody, peptide, protein and small molecule), dose strength, therapeutic area and other approved dosage forms (for marketed products). In addition, the chapter provides details on the developers, including year of establishment, company size and location of headquarters.
- Detailed case studies on the most commonly targeted indications, covering history of development and detailed description of the approved autoinjector products, along with their respective mechanisms of action and historical sales records. The study also includes a list of the drugs that are currently being delivered via autoinjectors.
- A list of marketed drugs/therapies and pipeline candidates that are likely to be developed in combination with autoinjectors in the near future, shortlisted on the basis of an in-depth analysis that takes into consideration various relevant parameters, such as route of administration, type of drug molecule, target indications, other available dosage forms (for approved drugs) and historical annual sales information (for approved drugs).
- Elaborate profiles of autoinjector manufacturers that have more than three devices in their respective product portfolios; each profile features an overview of the company, its financial information (if available), information on its product portfolio, autoinjector device specifications, collaborations, recent developments and an informed future outlook.
