Global Glass Syringe Market Size, Trends, and Analysis - Forecasts to 2026 By Syringe Type (Disposable, Reusable), By Material Type (Type-1 [Borosilicate Neutral Glass], Type-2 [Surface Treated Borosilicate Glass], Type-3 [Soda Lime Glass]), By Capacity (Up to 1 ml, 1 ml to 5 ml, 5 ml to 20 ml, Above 20 ml), By End Use (Hospitals, Research Laboratories, Drug Manufacturing, Clinical Research), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, CSA, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa), End-Use Landscape, Company Market Share Analysis, and Competitor Analysis
The global glass syringe market is projected to grow from USD 16.0 billion in 2021 to USD 23.5 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 8.0% from 2021-2026.
Rising usage of self-administration drugs like insulin and biologics, increasing number of research and development activities pertaining to launch of smart glass syringes and rising demand of injectable drugs due to increasing prevalence of diabetes and related disorders are few of the trends that are likely to accelerate the growth of the glass syringes market during the forecast period. On the other hand, launch of products such as generic injectables, biosimilars and contraceptive injectables along with rising preference for refillable syringes will further boost the market.
However, high cost associated with the glass syringes will act as a barrier towards the growth of the glass syringes market from 2021 to 2026. Also, increasing focus on painless drug delivery treatment, and the high risk of transferring blood-borne diseases can pose a challenge for the market’s growth.
There are three types of syringe available in the market for various uses, namely, glass syringe, plastic syringe, and stainless-steel syringe. Glass syringes are most widely used for various types of applicational purposes.
Glass syringe facilitates the medical experts to be able to inject different sizes and volumes of drugs and medicines during treatments or experiments. These syringes offer extremely high precision owing to the availability of different sizes and volumes. These also act as strong barriers for high gas in the blood and also assist impeccably in researchers related to the analysis of blood gas. The application of a glass syringe is also effective in oxygen-sensitive cases. A glass syringe is of extreme help and is a better option in the process of preserving the blood gas taken from arteries to examine the pressure of oxygen present in the blood, as compared to the plastic and stainless-steel syringes. As these syringes being made of glass, they also prevent interaction from happening between the water vapors and oxygen. These syringes, if sterilized carefully and properly, can be used multiple times thus resulting in a cost-effective resource.
With the augmentation of the pandemic, the importance of the medical sector and the need for medical equipment and devices has increased, to cater to the increasing number of patient suffering from chronic to severe infection and also due to the launch of vaccination drive in various countries. This has also motivated the top market players to manufacture and launch innovative glass syringes in the market.
Based on the syringe type, the market is segmented into disposable, and reusable syringes. The rising awareness about the most common blood-borne diseases like Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), and hepatitis C (HCV) which are most of the time transferred through shared needles and syringes, have helped increased the demand for disposable syringes and hence, the market for this segment is analyzed to be the largest.
These disposable syringes or one-time use syringes are analyzed to be a better option as they have considerably very fewer chances of transferring diseases as well as causing any infections. They have a mechanism of self-locking which rules out the chance of the user to utilize the same syringe for more than one time. According to the 2019 survey report published by WHO, every year approximately 33,877 individuals report being diagnosed with HIV, 1.67 million individuals with HBV, and 315,120 individuals with HCV infection, due to insufficient injection safety and syringe usage.
Based on material type, the market is segmented into Type-1 [Borosilicate Neutral Glass], Type-2 [Surface Treated Borosilicate Glass], Type-3 [Soda Lime Glass]. The Type-1 [Borosilicate Neutral Glass] is analyzed to have the largest share of the market from 2021 to 2026.
Borosilicate Neutral Glass is the majorly used type of material in manufacturing glass syringes. These borosilicate glasses are made from silicon dioxide which increased the sturdiness of the glass making it less vulnerable to leaks, ruptures, and fractures. These are preferred in medicals tests as they are highly resistant to any sort of chemical reaction. These also display great resistance to high temperature levels thus ensuring appropriate medical test analysis and results.
Based on glass syringe capacity type, the market is segmented into Up to 1 ml, 1 ml to 5 ml, 5 ml to 20 ml, Above 20 ml. The 1 ml to 5 ml segment is analyzed to be the largest shareholder in the market.
According to the WHO, approximately 16 billion syringes and injections every year are used across the globe for various purposes like vaccines, injections for immunity, and other medical tests and researches. For applications like immunity doses, vaccines, and blood tests, which are carried out extensively, on average require drug or blood samples of between 1ml to 5 ml. And thus, correspondingly, the syringe with the capacity size of 1 ml to 5 ml is majorly demanded from the medical sector.
Based on the enduser, the market is segmented into hospitals, research laboratories, drug manufacturing, and clinical research. The drug manufacturing segment will be the fastest growing segment in the market.
Healthcare and Pharmaceutical sector has always been the biggest customer of the glass syringe market. Initially, glass syringes were majorly used in hospitals and clinics for vaccine injections to cure diseases, or for injecting immunity boosters in children, and also for other blood administrations and diagnoses. However, with the emergence of trending disposable plastic-based syringes and to stop the increasing cases of blood-borne diseases, hospitals and clinics replaced their usage of glass syringes with plastic single-use syringes. However, glass syringes are still drastically used in drug manufacturing industries and research laboratories, as in these applications, the syringes are not used to inject any drug or draw blood, thus causing no transfer of diseases.
Based on region, the market can be segmented into various regions such as North America, Europe, Central and South America, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific regions. The North American region is expected to be the dominant force in the market during the forecast period. As per the WHO database of 16 billion syringes and injections used globally, out of which the USA accounts for more than 2 million syringe use per day. This data highlights the dominance of North American countries as well as justifies its stronghold on not just the glass syringe market but also on the overall syringe market.
Asia-Pacific region is also one of the biggest consumers of the glass syringe market, pertaining to the APAC countries having the highest population rates, along with the increasing spread of various diseases and infections asking for more production of a glass syringe. APAC region is estimated to be the fastest growing segment in the market.
Cadence Science, Nipro Corporation, Hamilton Company, Gerresheimer AG, KD Scientific Inc., Dickinson and Company, SCHOTT AG, DWK Life Sciences, Becton, Socorex Isba S.A., and Top Syringe Mfg Co (P) Ltd are some of the key players in the market.
