An injection pen is a medical device used for incorporating medicine under the skin with the help of needle. The product was first used in 1980s. Injection pen is one of the best alternatives over the daily syringes. At present, injection pens are majorly used for insulin administration. Sometime injection pens are also referred as insulin pen. These injection pens have surpassed the sales of vials for insulin administration to treat diabetes type 2.
The aging population and changes in social behavior contribute to a few common and costly long-term health problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of chronic lifestyle diseases is projected to reach 57% by 2026.

Diabetes is one of the biggest global health problems of the 21st century.
According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the number of people with diabetes in North America was about 46 million in 2019 and is projected to increase to 62 million by 2045. The increase in disease prevalence is about 35% over the predicted period. Furthermore, other chronic conditions such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disorders, and multiple sclerosis require frequent drug administration for treatment and disease management.
As per the WHO, cardiovascular disorders are the leading cause of death - nearly 17.9 million deaths are reported every year due to cardiovascular disorders. It has become new standard for injectable drug delivery among large patient population on a global level. Moreover, it can be easily used by the large patient population with minimal training with does not require constant assistance from of healthcare professionals, owing to which injection pens are largely adopted in home healthcare settings, thereby driving its market growth.
Furthermore, the injection pen market is characterized by the presence of various market players.

Type-Based Insights
Based on type, the global injection pen market is bifurcated into disposable injection pens and reusable injection pens. In 2021, the disposable injection pen segment held a larger market share and is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during 2022-2028. The most commercially available injector systems in the global market are injector pens designed for multiple doses, prefilled syringes, and autoinjectors. For example, through innovative prefilled syringes and injector pens, parenteral medication becomes quite easy and patient friendly because it relieves the patient from the burden of carrying syringes and drug vials intended for either regular/chronic use or emergencies.
Additionally, the applicability of injector pens involves safety and convenience, minimization of medicament, handling and reduction of dosage errors and waste, and improved product sterility and stability. Disposable injection pens are used until the drug cartridge is empty, and then the entire unit is disposed. In diabetic patients, insulin pens assist in taking insulin more conveniently because it combines the medication and syringe in one handy unit. Certain insulin pens are disposable, so patients can trash the pen once the insulin is injected or expired. These factors are responsible for the significant growth of the segment, thereby fueling the overall market growth during the forecast period
Therapy-Based Insights

Self-injection pens under homecare settings are an effective way to minimize the costs associated with managing and treating the broad spectrum of diseases. Additionally, self-injection pens are the first choice for new and subcutaneous administration of pharmaceutical agents. Self-injection pens possess the potential to greatly improve the quality of care from the patient's perspective. For example, self-injection pens have more flexibility regarding the place and time of treatment, thereby substantially reducing therapy costs. Therefore, medical device companies are developing innovative products for treating a broad spectrum of diseases. For example, BD's self-injection pens provide flexible manufacturing, drug compatibility, seamless integration, and low risks among individuals.
