Increase in Biologics Patent Expiry and Use of Biosimilars in Middle East & Africa Injection Pen Market
Biologics are widely developed for treating chronic disorders such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes. These drugs are unique in their own way, and manufacturers own patents of 20 years for manufacturing and distributing such drugs. As most patents are either expired or on the verge of expiry, other market players have begun launching their own version of such drugs, i.e., biosimilars. Biosimilars (generic drugs that are low-priced and are preferred by the government and insurance companies) have gained tremendous traction in the past few years over the original biologics. The pharmaceutical market players are promoting the adoption of biosimilars, which further creates the demand for injection pens for their delivery. As per AJMC, a total of 40 biosimilars were approved, and 25 new biosimilars were launched in the US till December 2022. Furthermore, there has been significant use of injectables on a large scale owing to prompt response, thus, generating the demand for injection pens for safe. Furthermore, the manufacturers of injection pens are constantly providing training for the proper use of injection pens to avoid associated dangers such as needle stick injuries and hyperglycemia which are further expected to create opportunities for the injection pen market. Therefore, increased use of biosimilars, patent expiry, and increased use of injectables are likely to create ample opportunity for the growth of the injection pen market in the coming years.
