A pen needle is a disposable, minimally invasive injection device designed to be used with insulin pens, GLP-1 receptor agonist pens, recombinant biologics, and other injectable drug delivery systems for the treatment of chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and rheumatoid arthritis. It consists of a needle tube, cap, inner protective guard, and threaded hub, typically manufactured from precision stainless steel with advanced laser sharpening and lubrication technologies to reduce penetration resistance, providing a more precise, comfortable, and safe injection experience. With the rising prevalence of diabetes and obesity, as well as increasing demand for self-administration and home-based therapies, pen needles have become an essential consumable in chronic disease management. The market is not only driven by insulin growth but also accelerated by the surge in GLP-1 and biologics injections, making it a strategic focus for leading medical device companies.In 2024, global pen needle production reached approximately 11733 million units, with an average global market price of around US$ 118.1 per k unit.
The pen needle market is experiencing rapid growth, fueled by surging global demand for chronic disease treatments, particularly for diabetes and obesity. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the number of people with diabetes surpassed 540 million in 2024 and is expected to reach nearly 640 million by 2030. The widespread adoption of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs is expanding the non-insulin injection market, positioning pen needles as a high-growth category for pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Policies in many countries encourage home self-injection to alleviate healthcare system burdens. Pharmaceutical companies are driving innovations in drug delivery, and pen needle technology is evolving accordingly, from ultra-thin needle tips and painless injection designs to advanced safety features, creating a dynamic market with fast-paced product upgradeDespite its promising outlook, the pen needle industry faces challenges such as raw material price volatility, product homogenization, and regulatory hurdles in international trade. The cost of high-precision stainless steel tubing is influenced by fluctuations in global steel prices and advanced manufacturing processes. Limited differentiation in product design and specifications has led to intense price competition, squeezing margins. Developed markets enforce increasingly strict quality standards, regulatory approvals, and procurement policies, raising barriers to entry and compliance costs. Additionally, the growing reliance on a few pharmaceutical giants dominating GLP-1 and biologics markets creates a relatively stable yet imbalanced competitive landscape. Future demand for pen needles will emphasize personalization, comfort, and value-added features. With the expansion of long-acting insulin, GLP-1 therapies, and biologic injections, the market is diversifying beyond diabetes into obesity management, autoimmune diseases, and rare disorders. Patient experience is a core driver, spurring the development of thinner, shorter needles with silicone lubrication and safety-lock mechanisms to reduce injection anxiety. Digital health solutions and smart drug management systems are also integrating with pen needles, enabling "drug-device ecosystem" offerings. As healthcare systems prioritize home care and self-administration, the high-end pen needle market is poised for growth, with opportunities for global expansion through innovation and strong branding.
Key raw materials for pen needles include medical-grade stainless steel tubing, polypropylene (PP) for needle hubs and caps, and medical silicone lubricants. The precision tubing market is dominated by a few suppliers, such as Nippon Steel & Sumikin Precision, Sandvik, and Kobe Steel, which specialize in high-precision cold-drawing and surface treatment. Plastic materials are mainly supplied by Sinopec, SABIC, and LG Chem, ensuring relatively stable availability, while silicone lubricants are sourced from companies like Dow Corning and Shin-Etsu Chemical. Overall, the pen needle supply chain is highly concentrated, with stainless steel price fluctuations being the primary cost factor; leading manufacturers mitigate risks through long-term procurement contracts and in-house needle tubing production.
