The global subcutaneous drug delivery devices market is projected to reach a valuation of USD 51.8 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6% from 2025 to 2030, according to a recent report by Grand View Research, Inc. This robust market expansion is primarily driven by the rising prevalence of chronic health conditions, coupled with the increasing necessity for regular administration of medications aimed at alleviating disease-related symptoms. These factors have significantly fueled the demand for in-home drug delivery solutions, particularly subcutaneous delivery devices.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2018, approximately 54.4 million adults in the United States — equating to 22.7% of the adult population — were diagnosed with chronic conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, gout, or lupus. The CDC further estimates that by the year 2040, this figure will increase to 78.0 million adults, representing 26.0% of the population, who are expected to be diagnosed with arthritis alone.

Additionally, the market is witnessing a surge in demand due to the increasing approval and utilization of biologic medications, particularly for the treatment of life-threatening diseases that necessitate large dosage volumes or prolonged delivery periods. These biologics often require subcutaneous administration for effective delivery. A study published by Informa U.K. in February 2019 revealed that the number of medicines in the clinical trial pipeline designated for parenteral administration rose from 53.0% in 2018 to 55.0% in 2019. In contrast, the development of oral formulations experienced a decline, falling from 33.0% in 2018 to 31.0% in 2019. This shift further emphasizes the growing preference for injectable solutions, including subcutaneous delivery methods.
