MEA Needles Market

MEA Needles Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The Needles Market size in the Middle East & Africa was worth USD 353.35 million in 2024 and estimated to be growing at a CAGR of 7.4% to reach USD 504.92 million by 2029.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and rising demand for vaccines are major driving factors in this region. Also, the growing geriatric population and the rising number of hospitals and clinics in the developing countries Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates are increasing the market for needles during the forecast period, rising research and development activities by major companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Braun Melsungen AG, and Medtronic PLC. Therefore, introducing needle technology with maximum safety and precision will most likely contribute to market growth. Furthermore, needle technology aims to lower the amount of discomfort and anxiety associated with injections.

Additionally, rising awareness regarding blood donation and testing has rapidly grown during the recent past, positively impacting the market growth. Voluntary blood donations can help fill the shortfall in blood supplies, increasing the demand for needles and syringes. Like UAE, strict rules have resulted in required blood screening tests for illnesses like HIV and HBV on donations in many industrialized locations. As a result, the usage of needles for blood donation and testing has risen dramatically in recent years. In addition, there is a strong demand for these products due to an increase in the number of sophisticated procedures requiring significant amounts of blood and blood products, such as chemotherapy, heart surgery, and organ transplant. Moreover, increasing investment and funding by the government and various private organizations in the region encourages market growth.

However, stringent government regulations and mandatory blood-screening tests on donations for infections are expected to be one of the significant market restrains in this region. In addition, a lack of awareness in underdeveloped countries is expected to impede market growth.
