Executive Summary

The global market for needle-free devices was valued at $15.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to increase from $17.0 billion in 2025 to reach $27.7 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2% from 2025 through 2030.

A revolutionary method called needle-free drug delivery has been developed to deliver drugs without the need for conventional hypodermic needles. This method eliminates the discomfort, worry, and possible danger of needlestick injuries related to traditional injection techniques. Needlestick-free delivery systems, which use mechanisms such as jet injectors, microneedles, and transdermal patches, provide a non-invasive and effective alternative for drug administration. This makes them especially useful for managing chronic diseases, distributing vaccines, and administering biologic therapies.

Due to the growing need for patient-friendly treatment options and improvements in medical technologies, the market for needle-free drug delivery is growing dramatically. This technology is increasingly used in a variety of therapeutic areas, such as diabetes, oncology and immunology, due to its potential to increase patient compliance, lower healthcare costs, and improve the safety of drug administration. The future of drug delivery appears to be more effective, painless, and accessible for patients worldwide as more pharmaceutical companies invest in needle-free solutions.
