Syringes are medical devices used to inject fluid or withdraw fluid from the body. A medical syringe consists of a needle attached to a hollow cylinder fitted with a sliding piston. The World Health Organization observes unsafe syringe use around the world, leading to widespread infection among health workers and patients. Unsafe syringe use can cause abscesses, septicaemia, and nerve damage, and also in severe cases, haemorrhagic fevers and malaria are transmitted. Smart syringes are equipped with features that prevent needle stick injuries to the person using these syringes and prevent the transmission of blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B virus, and human immunodeficiency virus. They target numerous applications that include vaccination, drug delivery, and blood sampling.

Smart syringes perfectly address the need for safe injection practices by eliminating the reuse of syringes. So, the growing demand for minimally invasive procedures among the population is driving the demand for smart syringes. Smart syringes prevent needle stick injuries associated with traditional injections. Recommendations from the World Health Organization to adopt the use of smart syringes to prevent needle stick injuries and promote good injection practices worldwide are driving the growth of the global syringes market. The rising prevalence of blood-borne diseases due to unsafe injection practices has significantly boosted the growth of the global smart syringes market. The increasing incidence of chronic diseases and viral infections among the general population is one of the major reasons driving the global demand for smart syringes. It may also be due to an aging population that is more susceptible to serious medical problems. Additionally, increased demand for self-injecting drugs is driving market expansion.

Smart syringes are more expensive than conventional syringes, making global adoption difficult. Some are less expensive than single-use syringes. Others, depending on the technological advancement of the security systems, can cost up to five times more than others, making them expensive in some low- and middle-income nations, hampering the market growth.

US Smart Syringes Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
