Furthermore, numerous governments have implemented statewide lockdowns to preserve social distance.

The COVID-19 outbreak has disrupted workflows in the health care sector worldwide. The sickness has led various sectors, including several sub-domains of health care, to close their doors temporarily. However, there has been a beneficial consequence and increased demand for various medical services, including revolutionary vaccine delivery technologies such as a syringe-free injection method. Medical disposables such as syringes and needles are essential for corona vaccine distribution; the pandemic is predicted to boost the smart syringe industry in the coming months.

Global Novel Vaccine Delivery System Market Dynamics

Drivers: Growing immunization programs & their increasing coverage

Immunization is the process of strengthening an individual's immune system against a specific agent (known as the immunogen). An increase in immunization programs for various diseases eventually boosts the market growth of novel vaccine delivery systems. The WHO lists 29 diseases (excluding COVID-19) for which vaccines are available: Cholera, COVID-19 (emergency use WHO list), Dengue fever, Diphtheria, Ebolavirus, Haemophilus influenzae type b, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis E, Human papillomavirus infection, Influenza, Japanese encephalitis, Malaria, Measles, Meningococcal disease, Mumps, Pneumococcal disease, Pertussis, Poliomyelitis, Rabies, Rotavirus gastroenteritis, Rubella, Tetanus, Tick-borne encephalitis, Tuberculosis, Typhoid fever, Yellow fever, Shingles (Herpes Zoster).

Moreover, various immunization programs for covid-19 vaccines are performed across the globe to treat recently occurred novel coronavirus. According to World in Data, as of June 19, 2021, 21.5% of the world population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine globally. At least 211 countries and territories have administered more than 2 billion doses of a Covid-19 vaccine. Thus, growing immunization programs & their increasing coverage also increase the adoption of novel vaccine delivery products and boost the market's growth.

Restraints: High cost and unaffordability of safety syringes

The high cost of smart syringes compared to conventional syringes hinders their adoption across the globe. Some models are similar in cost to standard single-use syringes. In contrast, depending on the technical complexity of the safety mechanism, others are up to five times the cost, which is prohibitive in some low- and middle-income countries. 

Moreover, the high capital expenditure required for producing and maintaining a few safety syringes and fluctuations in cost depending upon technologically advanced syringes also limit the market growth. However, owing to continuous technological advancements and an increase in the number of smart syringes companies, the impact of this factor is expected to decrease during the analysis period.

Opportunities: Rise in need for safety syringes in emerging economies

Emerging economies of Asia-Pacific, the Middle & East, and Africa serve as lucrative regions for smart syringes. An increase in needlestick injuries and a surge in the transmission rate of HIV and hepatitis have led to slower adoption of conventional syringes. Moreover, the adoption rate of smart syringes is escalating considerably, owing to an increase in the need for safer injection methods. In addition, awareness programs conducted by the WHO on risks and threats of unsafe injections have significantly impacted the demand for smart syringes in countries such as India, China, Africa, Turkey, and Indonesia. 

On the contrary, the buying power is low in developing countries, owing to unfavorable or low reimbursement rates for using smart syringes. However, by 2025, the impact of this factor is expected to decrease, owing to the availability of enhanced healthcare facilities and an increase in buying power of individuals. Furthermore, a surge in supply or production of smart syringes at affordable prices is anticipated to aid in a massive decline in accidental needlestick injuries, propelling market growth in emerging economies.
