What Is The Expected Growth In The Pharmaceutical Cartridges Market Size Evolve over the Forecast Period?
The pharmaceutical cartridges market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the approaching years, the pharmaceutical cartridges market size is projected to experience robust growth, escalating to $3.6 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%.
The upsurge during the forecast period can be linked to the rise in injectable drug therapies, an escalation in self-administration of drugs, growing demand for personalized drug delivery systems, an increasing incidence of chronic diseases, and a heightened focus on patient adherence. The forecast period is punctuated by key trends like the launch of innovative products, investments in cutting-edge medication delivery technologies, strategic alliances and acquisitions, advancements in technology, and the creation of wearable cartridges.
What Main Forces Are Fueling Expansion In The Pharmaceutical Cartridges Market?
The pharmaceutical cartridges market is predicted to expand due to the escalating prevalence of diabetes. Diabetes is a long-term health issue characterized by the body's inability to adequately control blood sugar (glucose) levels, either because of insufficient insulin production or inefficiency in insulin usage. Factors contributing to the surging prevalence of diabetes include increasing rates of obesity, inactive lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, growing elderly population, and genetic factors. Pharmaceutical cartridges, utilized in diabetes care, provide accurate insulin dosage for effective and well-regulated blood sugar management. For example, the UK-based National Health Service (NHS) reported in June 2024 that there had been nearly 25% growth in non-diabetic hyperglycemia or pre-diabetes cases among individuals under 40, with numbers going up from 173,166 in 2022 to 216,440 in 2023. Hence, the rising prevalence of diabetes is fueling the growth of the pharmaceutical cartridges market.
