Needle-free injection system market Dynamics:

DRIVERS

1. High prevalence of infectious diseases globally

Despite significant improvements in sanitation and medicine, the global prevalence of infectious diseases is still high. Although non-communicable diseases are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, infectious diseases remain a major public health concern globally. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), annually, infectious diseases claim more than 15 million lives globally. In 2019, according to the World Malaria Report by the World Health Organization (WHO), 229 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide. The WHO African Region, with an estimated 215 million malaria cases in 2019, accounted for about 94% of the malaria cases. Similarly, as per the WHO 2021 data, there were an estimated 37.7 million people living with HIV at the end of 2020, over two-thirds of whom (25.4 million) are in the WHO African Region.

The growing prevalence of chronic diseases has resulted in a significant increase in demand for biologics (large-molecule drugs). Most large-molecule drugs are administered through injectables.

An injectable system is a relatively fast and safe method of drug delivery that is associated with several advantages, including the site-specific delivery of drugs, low drug dosage requirement, reduced hospital stays, better reproducibility, and ease of use. Although the demand for injectables has increased significantly in the past few years, there are still a few factors that may hinder market growth to a certain extent. These include the high risk of needlestick injuries and patient reluctance to use these devices due to needle phobia. Owing to this, companies are increasingly focusing on developing needle-free injection systems. In August 2021, PharmaJet partnered with Zydus Cadila and announced the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) approval for the world’s first plasmid DNA COVID-19 vaccine delivery via needle-free injection. In October 2021, Enesi Pharma started developing next-generation vaccination products for targeting infectious diseases and emergent threat pathogens. Some needle-free injection systems used for the treatment of chronic conditions include InsuJet, Zetajet, Medi-Jector, and Injex30.

The growing prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases has led to an increase in the demand for and development of needle-free injection systems, which is expected to drive market growth to a considerable extent in the coming years.

2. Increasing incidence of communicable diseases due to needlestick injuries

Needlestick injuries from contaminated needles are a major area of concern for most healthcare providers. Needlestick injuries are one of the most serious health and safety threats.

Injections are one of the most common devices used for the administration of drugs, due to which healthcare workers are at a high risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens due to needlestick injuries, which can occur accidentally. According to the CDC, some 385,000 health care workers accidentally stick themselves with needles every year. Needlestick injuries have the potential to transmit infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and human immunodeficiency virus (AIDS) among healthcare workers.

Listed below are some statistics related to needlestick injuries:

• According to the WHO reports, it was found that 37.9% of all hepatitis B cases, 39.1% of hepatitis C cases, and 4.4% of HIV/AIDS cases in healthcare workers around the world are due to needlestick injuries. The WHO Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office reports an average of 4 needlestick injuries per year per healthcare worker.
• The worldwide pooled prevalence of needle stick injuries among healthcare workers during career time and year 2020 was 56.2% and 32.4%, respectively.
  Considering the various hazards associated with injectable systems, there is a significant demand for safer and more effective drug delivery systems, such as needle-free injections.
• Needle phobia is another major factor limiting the demand for injectable devices. To increase patient compliance, many companies are now focusing on developing needle-free injection systems, which are one of the most effective and painless solutions.

3. Rise in demand for self-injection devices

Self-injection technologies are a relatively faster means of delivering drugs and enable better reproducibility over invasive drug delivery technologies. Self-injections reduce the drug dosage requirement, which ultimately translates into better patient compliance, especially among the elderly.

Most biologic drugs are delivered using injections, which involve the risk of needlestick injuries. To overcome this challenge, pharmaceutical companies are developing more patient-friendly needle-free injectors and self-administered medication-device combination products. Needle-free injectors such as jet injectors are more convenient and effective, bring about better patient compliance, reduce hospital stays and overall healthcare costs, and are easy to use in-home care settings.

Driven by a dual desire to support patient convenience and respond to the growth of chronic diseases, new self-injection technologies, which can be rapidly deployed at scale, are necessary as the biopharma industry pivots to meet demand. The wider drug delivery market has historically shown consistent and healthy growth, despite the grim realities of the pandemic. As the world begins to recover from the long-lasting effects of COVID-19 and approaches a period of greater stability and normality, drug deliverables are expected to flourish.

4. Increased number of technological advancements

New technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), bar code identification (BI), telecare, e-prescription, and others, can help clinicians and pharmacists in many ways by allowing the storage of patient planned proceedings and records and smoothening the vaccination progress. As a result, information technology (IT) has improved patient health and safety and even allowed pharmaceutical industry experts & professionals to provide high-quality and effective treatments. It also assists patients in understanding most of their medications.

Many pharmaceutical manufacturers have embraced computer technology owing to various benefits of automated IT. On the other hand, people have faced significant challenges on a global scale due to changing disease eugenics, population burdens, the COVID-19 pandemic, and healthcare stipulations. In the past, pharmacists had to deal with a variety of challenges in their professional life. These challenges can be addressed by increasing the presence and participation of emerging technology in the global push to achieve universal healthcare. Therefore, understanding the role of technology in overcoming these obstacles is critical.

Currently, some of the key players in the needle-free injection system market, such as Antares Pharma and Vaxxas, have described their focus on advanced technology, such as digital needle-free injection system micro-array patches, and wearable needle-free insulin injectors to deal with issues related to traditional challenges related to breakage, leaching, and needlestick prevention.

5. Reduction in injection system costs

The needle-free jet injection has the potential to improve safety by eliminating needles from the process of administering vaccines. For example, jet injectors have created a fine stream of pressurized liquid that penetrates the skin, delivering doses of medications and vaccines while reducing the burden of hazardous waste management. The potential benefits of jet injectors include a rise inconsistent delivery, reduced vaccine wastage, increased elimination of the need to transport large volumes of sharps, and a reduction of the risk of needle sticks and of the costs associated with sharps waste.

Jet injectors and micro-array patches can also deliver vaccines intradermally. For some vaccines, intradermal delivery has the potential to reduce the amount of vaccine required, leading to cost savings and expanded coverage for vaccines in limited supply.

RESTRAINTS

1. Higher cost of development as compared to conventional injection systems

The overall development cost of a needle-free injection system is relatively higher due to the additional associated costs such as high infrastructural and labor costs. Development costs also increase due to the complexity of these devices. High investments in development result in a high cost of units, which decreases the adoption of these devices by patients.

Sterilizable needles and conventional needle injections are the most affordable options at USD 5 to 15 for 1,000 injections. However, needle-free injections require very high initial investments and are likely to be more expensive as manufacturers are required to spend more on the production standard and quality control of the devices. The starter kits for needle-free injections themselves cost around USD 165 for AdvantaJet, USD 260 for Injex 30, and USD 300 for Medi-Jector. Owing to these high costs, affordability becomes a major issue for needle-free injection devices as compared to conventional needle injections.

In addition to this, meeting all the standards and specifications makes the manufacturing process costlier than traditional injections.

Furthermore, regulatory bodies in different regions often mandate a separate approval system for a device and for formulations combination products. For instance, a separate NDA/BLA approval is required in the US for a combination product with an injector system, which requires additional safety and clinical trial data. Thus, a manufacturer trying to market a needle-free injection system along with a previously marketed conventional delivery formulation needs to provide additional device safety data and conduct new clinical trials to meet regulatory requirements. Owing to this, such products have a higher development cost and take a longer time to enter the market as compared to conventional drug delivery systems.

2. Limitation with large volume and intravenous administration systems

The needle-free jet injection is another vaccine delivery approach that has been investigated extensively as a method of immunization and was approved by the US FDA for intramuscular and subcutaneous applications. This is based on the administration of a DNA vaccine in buffered saline using a device consisting of an injector that can be set to deliver DNA to distinct layers, the epidermis, dermis, or subcutaneous muscles, depending on the speed of the ejected solution. The major limitations to the clinical use of jet injection are the requirement for large amounts of DNA and the DNA degradation from the high-pressure delivery. Moreover, it also has limitations with intravenous drug delivery.

OPPORTUNITIES

1. Rising demand for biosimilars and vaccination processes

Biosimilars are increasingly being used in the treatment of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hepatitis, anemia, and several other acute and chronic diseases. With the rising prevalence of these diseases, the need for biosimilars is also increasing. This, in turn, is presenting a significant opportunity for pharmaceutical & medical device manufacturers to develop innovative delivery solutions for biosimilars. Several biosimilars and vaccines are administered through injections; in this regard, the needle-free technology provides an easy-to-use and safe method for administering biosimilars without the need for a traditional injection apparatus or trained personnel. Also, to leverage the growth potential in the vaccines market, many biopharmaceutical manufacturers, vaccine companies, and needle-free device manufacturers are focusing on strategic acquisitions, collaborations, and the launch of effective and safe drug delivery devices using needle-free injection technology. For instance, in August 2021, PharmaJet partnered with Zydus Cadila and announced EUA approval for the world’s first plasmid DNA COVID-19 vaccine delivery via needle-free injection. Also, PharmaJet has announced its partnership with Abnova to develop and deliver COVID-19 mRNA vaccine using needle-free Injection technology. Moreover, in January 2019, Enesi Pharma and Geovax collaborated for the development of multiple vaccines administered by Implavax needle-free injection device.

2. Increasing number of emerging markets

The needle-free injection system market in emerging countries is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years. This can primarily be attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, robust economic growth, and increasing purchasing power. The markets in emerging countries, such as India and China, are characterized by the presence of many people suffering from chronic diseases and the availability of skilled labor at a lower cost. In India, the percent increase in the cause of death from 2009-2019, 40.9% increases cause of death in ischemic heart disease, 35.6% in COPD, and 54.4% in diabetes. In the case of China, 12.5% in stroke, 39.3% in ischemic heart disease, and 63.8% in hypertensive heart disease (Source: WHO).

According to the WHO estimates, in 2019, chronic diseases were responsible for 74% of total deaths globally. The world’s biggest killer is ischemic heart disease, responsible for 16% of the world’s total deaths. Since 2000, the largest increase in deaths has been for this disease, rising by more than 2 million to 8.9 million deaths in 2019. Stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are the second and third leading causes of death, responsible for approximately 11% and 6% of total deaths, respectively. (Source: WHO).

Also, with growing disposable income, a need for mass vaccination and the affordability of various advanced treatments has increased in emerging countries. Owing to these factors, manufacturers of needle-free injector devices are focusing more resources on emerging markets.

CHALLENGES

1. Rise in need to ensure system sterility

Sterility is a major challenge for manufacturers of injectables, including needle-free injection systems. In the drug delivery market, the sterility of formulations can be affected by a variety of visible and invisible particles, including solids, environmental factors, packaging components, formulations-related contaminants (agglomerates, precipitates, and undissolved materials), and other chemical agents, all of which can disable the therapeutic components of a solution.

Additionally, it is possible for the sterility of a drug to be affected by the delivery system itself; therefore, manufacturers of needle-free injection systems are required to focus on ensuring quality and purity during production. Sterility testing involves several processes and imposes a significant drain in terms of time, money, and resources. It is mandatory for manufacturers to follow current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs) to ascertain and report the sterility of the injectables produced. Strict adherence to cGMP guidelines is necessary for maintaining quality standards in the manufacturing process and in the end products, as non-adherence to these standards could lead to a ban.

2. Growth in alternative modes of drug delivery

Needle-free injection systems provide a safe, effective, and rapid mode of drug delivery and eliminate the risk of needlestick injuries. However, a needle-free system cannot be used for drugs administered intravenously. Another problem associated with a needle-free injection system is that they leave behind residues on the skin in the form of a wet patch, which may lead the administrator to conclude that the vaccine was improperly administered. These factors serve to limit the growth of the market to a certain extent and steer consumers to other modes of drug delivery.

The topical route of drug administration is considered better than injections as the drug is applied directly to the skin; it is non-invasive, easy, and ensures a high level of patient compliance. Inhalation enables rapid absorption due to the huge surface area of the respiratory endothelium. Bronchodilators and inhaled steroids can be targeted at the lungs with low levels of systemic absorption.

Additionally, alternative routes of drug administration have been developed by pharma companies. For example, Glenmark Pharma on May-2021 announced the launch of its nasal spray Ryaltris, which is used for the treatment of moderate to severe allergic rhinitis, in India. Moreover, Aptar Pharma announced that its Bidose nasal spray device was recently approved by the US FDA for therapy in the field of depression.

While proteins and peptides were administered as injectables due to their large molecular size and stability issues, the use of methods such as nanotechnology has enabled the development of smaller molecules of peptides-in turn, allowing their oral administration. As a result, this factor can be considered to pose a challenge to the future growth of this market.
