The global pen needles market size is estimated to reach USD 7.8 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.1% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising prevalence of diabetes is the primary reason for the significant growth of the pen needles market. According to the National Library of Medicine, the number of people with diabetes is expected to climb by 1.51 million in 2023, owing primarily to the ageing population. Such high prevalence of diabetes across the globe has led to rising demand for pen needles. Patients suffering from diabetes commonly use injectable pen devices, which help in easy drug delivery. 

In addition, obesity is a significant cause of diabetes. Obese people often suffer from type 2 diabetes, which makes them one of the highest revenue contributors to the target market. Thus, people with type 2 diabetes are the common target population for companies manufacturing pen needles. 

Rising technological advancements is also expected to drive the market growth. Pen needles allow comfort and easy mode of insulin delivery. These devices are technologically advanced and provide a superior alternative drug delivery method in comparison to syringes and vials. For instance, Becton, Dickinson, and Company launched BD Ultra-Fine Nano 4mm Pen Needles with Easy Flow Technology, which will enable diabetic patients with easy adherence to insulin therapy regimens.
