Favorable government policies and high investments are further expected to push the global autoinjectors market growth.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

High prices, lack of awareness among patients towards self-medication, and injuries associated with autoinjectors are expected to hinder the growth rate of the global autoinjectors market. Moreover, stringent regulations, lack of awareness of self-injectors in the patients, and the infections caused by the needle- stick, and injuries are further anticipated to limit the global autoinjectors market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on the global autoinjectors market

Once the restrictions have been amended, there has been a sweeping decline in patients delaying seeking care and treatment. The autoinjectors market has been affected positively due to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has been hiking demand for self-injections, allowing patients more participation and control over their treatment. The advanced technologies available in the autoinjectors market have been revived as they permit better injection speed and treatment anxiety management. Catalent Biologics, a pharmaceutical company, has seen an uplifting demand for autoinjectors from the pandemic period. The need for effective home care and remote monitoring has autoinjectors' applicability to managing chronic ailments and allergies effortlessly and quickly without visiting the hospital. The autoinjectors usage is correct for diabetes, Crohn's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis patients depend on prefilled syringes and autoinjectors to control their condition at home. These autoinjectors allow safe and effective medication administration outside the clinic instead of visiting the hospitals or clinics. It is expected to fuel the market's growth rate during the forecast period.
