Global Epinephrine Autoinjector Market Trends:

Increasing Prevalence of Severe Allergic Reactions 

The rising incidences of allergic reactions, which can cause difficulty in breathing, swelling, and low blood pressure, are primarily driving the growth of the market. Additionally, the surging prevalence of arthritis, asthma, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are also contributing to the market growth. For instance, according to a report by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, around 10.8% of female adults have asthma, compared to 6.5% of male adults. It is a leading chronic disease in children. Currently, there are about 4.5 million children under the age of 18 with asthma. 7.7% of Americans have asthma. Of these roughly 24.9 million, 20.2 million are adults, and 4.6 million are children. Similarly, the global burden of COPD in India reported an increase from 3.3% (28.1 million cases) in 1990 to 4.4% (55.3 million cases) in 2016. Besides this, the escalating geriatric population across the world, which is more prone to developing allergies, is also contributing to the growth of the market. For instance, there are currently roughly 62 million adults ages 65 and older living in the U.S., accounting for 18% of the population. By 2054, 84 million adults aged 65 and older will make up an estimated 23% of the population. Such a significant rise in the aging population and the rising cases of severe allergic reactions caused by stings, bug bites, drugs, or any other environmental irritant are anticipated to propel the epinephrine autoinjector market share in the coming years.

Growing Product Launches

The increasing number of new product launches and strategic activities, such as mergers/acquisitions, recent developments, joint ventures, collaborations, and partnerships by major players in the market, is creating a positive outlook for the overall market. For instance, in November 2022, Catalent announced its plans to manufacture a new batch of SYMJEPI for Adamis Pharmaceuticals Co. in Belgium. The relaunch and commercial availability of SYMJEPI took place in the first quarter of 2023. Furthermore, the medicine regulatory authorities are also expediating the approval process of drugs and medicines which is offering lucrative growth opportunities to the overall market. For example, in August 2022, Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the company's New Drug Application for an Epinephrine Single Dose Pre-Filled Syringe. Besides this, the rise in merger and acquisition activities to propel the pace of drug development is positively impacting the epinephrine autoinjector market outlook. For instance, in February 2022, Sanofi acquired Amunix, which gives access to Amunix Pro-XTEN, XPAT, and XPAC technology to deliver next-generation Conditionally Activated Biologics. Such innovations are projected to bolster the growth of the market over the forecasted period.

Rising Awareness and Accessibility

Heightened awareness about allergies and improved accessibility to healthcare services are expanding the market, particularly in developing regions where allergy management is gaining importance. Furthermore, governing agencies of numerous countries are undertaking initiatives to promote the use of epinephrine autoinjectors in schools and other public spaces, which is creating a positive impact on the overall market. For instance, in June 2023, the MHRA, with the support of allergy awareness advocates, launched a safety campaign to raise awareness of anaphylaxis and provide advice on the use of adrenaline autoinjectors. Additionally, various private pharmaceutical companies are also taking initiatives to provide epinephrine autoinjectors at reasonably low prices to cater to the lower income groups. For instance, Mylan N.V., a global generic and specialty pharmaceuticals company, offers EpiPen (epinephrine injection, USP) for free under the Autoinjector Patient Assistance Program. The requirements for this include legal residency status, income limits, and lack of insurance coverage for prescriptions or for brand-name prescriptions. Patients who apply and are found eligible may receive medication free of charge. Such initiatives by government and private market players are projected to propel the epinephrine autoinjector market growth in the coming years.

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the global epinephrine autoinjector market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels from 2025-2033. Our report has categorized the market based on dosage, application, and end user.

Breakup by Dosage:

• 0.15mg Epinephrine Autoinjector
• 0.3mg Epinephrine Autoinjector
• 0.5mg Epinephrine Autoinjector
   

0.3mg epinephrine autoinjector represented the largest segment

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the epinephrine autoinjector market based on the dosage. This includes 0.15mg epinephrine autoinjector, 0.3mg epinephrine autoinjector, and 0.5mg epinephrine autoinjector. According to the report, 0.3mg epinephrine autoinjector represented the largest segment.

Several social and psychological factors contribute significantly to the prevalence of anaphylaxis among adolescents and adults. Healthcare professionals recommend the use of epinephrine auto-injectors at a safe dosage, typically 0.3 mg, for patients aged 12 years and older. Various guidelines, such as the RCUK 2008/2021 in the UK, EAACI 2014/2021 in Europe, and the World Allergy Organization Anaphylaxis Guidance 2020, applicable globally across nearly 100 countries, advocate for adjusting dosages based on safety and practicality for emergency preparation and administration. Additionally, these guidelines advise administering 0.3 mg of epinephrine intramuscularly to children aged 6 to 12 years for their safety and effectiveness.

Breakup by Application:

• Under 6 Years
• 6 to 12 Years

6 to 12 years represented the largest segment

A detailed breakup and analysis of the epinephrine autoinjector market based on the application has also been provided in the report. This includes under 6 years, 6 to 12 years, and over 12 years. According to the report, 6 to 12 years represented the largest segment.

Epinephrine autoinjectors are typically prescribed for individuals who have been diagnosed with severe allergies, particularly those at risk of anaphylaxis, which can occur in response to allergens like certain foods, insect stings, or medications. Children aged 6 to 12 years may require an Epinephrine Autoinjector (EAI) due to increasing independence and exposure to allergens outside of parental supervision, such as during school activities, playdates, or meals away from home. This age group is also more prone to severe allergic reactions, making it crucial for them to have immediate access to potentially life-saving treatment in case of anaphylaxis.

Breakup by End User:
