Emphasis on Polymer Type (Cyclic Olefin Polymer (COP), Cyclic Olefin Copolymer (COC), Polypropylene, and Others); Application (Vaccines, Monoclonal Antibodies, Insulin, and Others); End-User (Hospitals, Clinics, Ambulatory Surgical Centers, and Others); and Region/Country
The Polymer-Based Prefilled Syringe Market was valued at approximately USD 2.87 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR of around 4.9% during the forecast period (2024-2032) owing to the increasing use of biologic drugs, including monoclonal antibodies and vaccines.
A polymer-based Prefilled Syringe is a medical product that involves a polymer-based material being used in the preparation and administration of drugs. The syringe is a type of drug delivery system that includes a barrel and plungers made of any polymer material like plastics or elastomers and prefilled with the desired dose of the medicine. For instance, these types of syringes are single-use syringes, which are sterilized before use and this is advantageous because it allows correct dosing, and convenience and reduces the risk of cross-infection for the patient and the medical practitioner.
As demand for prefilled syringes rises, other pharma and biotech businesses around the globe are expected to transition from traditional syringes and other packaging systems to polymer-based prefilled syringes for their injectable products, which will drive the market deeper into penetration. Furthermore, firms that engage in the research and development of advanced polymers for various applications or those firms that design new and unique polymers will have the upper hand in the market. For example, on March 18, 2024, SCHOTT Pharma will be establishing a new prefilled syringe manufacturing plant in Wilson, North Carolina, for a total of USD 371 million, with over 400 planned employees, to meet the demand for glass and polymer prefilled syringes for mRNA, GLP-1, and other therapeutic applications in the United States.
This section discusses the key market trends influencing the various segments of The Polymer-Based Prefilled Syringe Market as identified by our research experts.
Cyclic olefin polymer (COP) Polymer-Based Prefilled Syringe Transforming Industry.
Cyclic olefin polymer (COP) dominated the Global Polymer-Based Prefilled Syringe market in 2023. This is principally owing to COP being a high-clarity material with low protein adsorption and good chemical resistance, which makes it ideal for retaining the integrity of sensitive biologics and biosimilars. In addition to that, it has better biocompatibility and non-reactivity to drugs thus enhancing the application in the pharmaceutical packaging business to meet the set regulatory standards. Therefore, pharmaceutical firms and medical practitioners are shifting their preference toward COP-based prefilled syringes for medical usage, thereby impacting the growth of the market positively. For example, on the 24th of January 2023, Stevanato Group S. p. A. partnered with Transcoject GmbH, a firm that deals with the development of medical devices and pharma packaging solutions. The partnership will allow Stevanato Group to incorporate new material types ciclyc olefin polymer (COP) and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) PFS into its solutions portfolio and deliver more value-added into customers’ supply chain.
North America leads the market in 2023
North America has the largest market share for this industry in the year 2023. This is mainly due to factors such as advanced healthcare systems, high levels of technology adoption for medical purposes, and better reimbursement policies that support market growth. Also, the cases of chronic diseases and the population’s aging are other factors that influence the need for easy and safe administration of a drug.
According to the CDC, the following statistics of diabetes were recorded, approximately 29 million people in 2024. There are approximately 7 million people of all ages diagnosed with diabetes in the United States and it was found that this statistic represents 8.9% of the entire population of the United States. To this we can add data indicating that at least 352000 children and adolescents under the age of 20, or 35 per 10 000 youths in the USA, have been diagnosed with diabetes. This includes 304,000 people with type 1 diabetes, a figure that is expected to increase significantly in the coming years. In addition, the region comprises several big pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms that are gradually shifting toward the utilization of polymer-based PFS in their products. The stringent quality requirements and backing from the regulatory authorities also contribute towards the use of these syringes in the North America region.
