FELTON, California, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The global Pen Needles Market was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2015, which is projected to grow at a CAGR of more than 13.0% during the forecast period. Rising prevalence of diabetes has led to the rise in demand of pen needles.

With the increase in population of this disorder, the market is estimated to grow rapidly over forecast period. The rising number of overweight or obese people also contributes to the growth of the market. According to the Diabetes. Co. UK, obesity accounts for 80% to 85% chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Excess abdominal fat, increases the chances of having this type of disorder.

Pen needles helps in easy delivery of drug to the patient. They are used in conjunction with insulin pens because of its accuracy in dosage delivery and can be easily used visually impaired and elderly people.

Technological advancements in pen needles are further expected to drive market growth. The market players are majorly focusing on developing new products with respect to the length of the needle. Short length pen needles can be easily used by everyone including overweight, children, and the patient with phobia of needles. For instance, in 2014, Novo Nordisk made NovoFine Plus, the thinnest and shortest needle commercially available in the U.S.

Pen needles when used in conjunction with insulin pens provide easy and convenient drug delivery process when compared to the traditional method of syringes and vials.
