Expiration of Patents of Biologics will provide future opportunity
Injection pens are used for inserting medicine into the body, such as injecting insulin into the patient. The injection pens generally consist of a medical cartridge (insulin cartridge), a disposable pen, a needle, and a dial for measuring the dosage.
The patent expiry of the biologics drug opens opportunities for developing cost-effective biosimilars. Several insurance companies and governments are favoring the use of biosimilars and generics. For instance, CVS Caremark, one of the major prescription insurers in the US, has replaced branded injectable drugs such as Lantus by Sanofi and EpiPen by Mylan with their biosimilars Basaglar (available in injection pen) by Eli Lilly and Adrenaclick (an autoinjector) by Amedra Pharmaceuticals. Since several2 injectables for the treatment of chronic diseases are biologics, the expiry of patents and growing support from governments and insurance providers provide an opportunity for the growth of the injection pens market.
Surge in Chronic diseases is one of the major factors accelerating market growth.
The prevalence of chronic disorders has been increasing rapidly in the past few years. Several disorders, such as diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and multiple sclerosis, need every day or weekly injectable drug administration. Injection pens represent the new standard for injectable drug delivery systems. Their popularity has ascended attributable to their ease, dependability, and capability to be administered directly by the patient without the help of a healthcare professional. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases has led to a greater focus on injection pen technologies to effectively handle the rising patient population and increase patient compliance with therapies.
