South Africa Prefilled Syringes Market - Overview

A single-dose packet of vaccination in a prefilled syringe has a needle attached by the manufacturer. Metal or glass syringes were once used, but there is a growing trend towards plastic and disposable syringes to keep the needle safe and prevent re-use (prefilled disposable systems). This has increased the demand for prefilled syringes over traditional glass vials for packing prescription medications in the medical industry. As when a syringe is placed into a medicine vial to draw out a dose; it offers another possible admixture-related contamination risk. Prefilled syringes lessen the danger of drug contamination. Eliminating this risk with a pre-sterilized syringe improves safety and eliminates the need for on-site vial cleaning and de-pyrogenation.

Growth Drivers

Increased Use for Various Medical Conditions

Chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases, generally require patients to self-administer medications, which increases the adoption of prefilled syringes. It is regarded as one of the most significant factors driving the growth of this market. Also, the prevalence of several types of chronic and lifestyle diseases is expected to accelerate market growth.

Ease of Use Boosting Demand for Prefilled Syringes

Because of the convenience and safety associated with prefilled syringes use, they are simple to use. Therefore, demand for self-injection and related devices has increased, and their ease of use is expected to fuel prefilled syringes market growth.

Restraints

Availability of Cheaper Alternatives

Due to the excessive costs associated with their production, prefilled syringes are more expensive than disposable syringes. The availability of disposable syringes at a lower cost is expected to pose a significant challenge to the growth of prefilled syringes market during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 on South Africa Prefilled Syringes Market

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the South Africa prefilled syringes market. The epidemic presented numerous difficulties for the market growth. To essentially stop the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the government-imposed lockdown and social distance regulations, which caused several operations to stop, supply chain disruptions, stifled business growth, technology event cancellations, halted new developments and negatively impacted overall production and sales, which temporarily restricted the industry's expansion.

Segmental Coverage

South Africa Prefilled Syringes Market - By Type

On basis of type, South Africa prefilled syringes market is divided into Conventional Prefilled Syringes (Disposable Prefilled Syringes and Reusable Prefilled Syringes), and Safety Prefilled Syringes segments. Due to its numerous applications, the conventional prefilled syringes comprising the disposable prefilled syringes category account for a higher market share . These devices lessen the danger of contamination, which is expected to increase demand for them. Needlestick injuries are brought on by risky practices, such as repeatedly using a prefilled syringe and needle without taking the necessary safety procedures as advised by medical authorities. Also, while conventional disposable prefilled syringes protect the receiver, they do not guarantee patient safety. Thus, a strong desire for patient safety has led to an increase in the use of disposable equipment in healthcare facilities including hospitals and nursing homes. These elements could accelerate segment growth.
