Oral Syringes Market Report 2025

The oral syringes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.06 billion in 2024 to $1.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the increasing administration of pediatric medications, growing awareness of the importance of dosing accuracy, rising prevalence of chronic pediatric illnesses, a growing preference for non-invasive drug delivery methods, and the expanding use of oral syringes in home healthcare settings.

The oral syringes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.5 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for personalized pediatric care, a growing focus on safe and accurate drug delivery systems, the rising prevalence of at-home medication administration, expanding adoption of unit-dose packaging in hospitals, and heightened emphasis on child-safe medication tools. Major trends during this period include the development of eco-friendly oral syringes, pediatric-specific design innovations, integration of syringes with liquid medication bottles, advancements in tamper-proof features, and innovations in coated syringe barrels for improved usability and safety.

The growing adoption of home healthcare is anticipated to drive the expansion of the oral syringes market in the coming years. Home healthcare involves delivering both medical and non-medical services directly to patients in their homes to assist with recovery, chronic disease management, or general well-being and independence. This sector is expanding primarily due to the increasing incidence of chronic diseases, which require continuous, long-term care in more convenient and affordable home-based environments. Oral syringes play a critical role in supporting home healthcare by allowing for safe, accurate, and easy administration of liquid medications, particularly for children and elderly individuals. For example, in December 2023, Health Affairs, a US-based nonprofit global health organization, reported that home healthcare expenditures rose to $132.9 billion in 2022, up from $125.4 billion in 2021. As a result, the growth of home healthcare is contributing to the increased demand for oral syringes.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is also expected to boost the oral syringes market. Chronic diseases are enduring medical conditions that develop gradually and typically persist for a year or more, often necessitating continuous treatment and affecting daily functioning. The increasing rates of chronic diseases are largely driven by lifestyle-related factors such as poor nutrition, lack of exercise, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol intake, all of which heighten the risk of long-term health complications. Oral syringes are essential for managing chronic illnesses, as they provide a reliable, precise, and safe method of administering liquid medications for prolonged periods. For instance, in June 2024, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government agency, noted that the age-standardized death rate linked to chronic diseases rose slightly to 490 per 100,000 people in 2022, up from 459 per 100,000 in 2021. Accordingly, the growing burden of chronic diseases is fueling the expansion of the oral syringes market.

Key players in the oral syringes market are focusing on the development of innovative products, such as short-form syringes, to improve dosing precision while maintaining user-friendly designs. Short-form syringes are compact oral dosing devices engineered to deliver exact amounts of medication using a shorter barrel, which enhances ease of handling and administration. For example, in August 2024, Adelphi Healthcare Packaging, a pharmaceutical packaging firm based in the UK, introduced a new 1.5 ml short-form oral syringe as part of its expanded range of dosing pipettes. This compact syringe is tailored for accurate oral dosing and is suitable for both human and veterinary applications. It enables high-precision medication delivery in a small format and features an elm-end tip that prevents the attachment of luer connectors or needles, thereby reducing the risk of misuse for injections.

The oral syringes market consists of sales of oral dispenser syringes with caps, oral syringes with bottle adapters, pre-filled oral syringes, and refillable oral syringes. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is, the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The fast surge in U.S. tariffs and the trade tensions that followed in spring 2025 are heavily affecting the medical equipment sector, particularly for imported imaging machine components, surgical-grade stainless steel, and plastic disposables. Hospitals and clinics resist price hikes, pressuring manufacturers’ margins. Regulatory hurdles compound the problem, as tariff-related supplier changes often require re-certification of devices, delaying time-to-market. Companies are mitigating risks by dual-sourcing critical parts, expanding domestic production of commoditized items, and accelerating R&D in cost-efficient materials.

Oral syringes are medical devices designed to accurately measure and administer liquid medications orally, particularly for infants, children, or patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. These syringes consist of a plunger and a clearly marked barrel, ensuring precise dosing without the need for a needle.

The primary types of oral syringes include clear oral syringes and colorful oral syringes. Clear oral syringes are transparent, graduated devices that allow for accurate measurement and clear visibility of liquid medications to ensure precise delivery. These syringes come in various capacities, including small, medium, and large volume options. They are commonly used in applications such as pediatric care, geriatric care, post-surgical or critical care, dental procedures, and other medical uses. End users of oral syringes include hospitals, clinics, home care settings, and other healthcare environments.
