Injectables Market size was valued at US$ 549.8 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at an 11.6% CAGR from 2024-2030. Injectables, also known as parenteral medications, are pharmaceutical formulations that are administered directly into the body through various routes, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. These medications are typically in liquid form, although some may also be presented as powders for reconstitution before administration. Factors such as rising R&D focus on developing biotechnology-engineered anti-cancer drugs, rapid growth in the usage of pre-filled syringes for biologics, and increased outsourcing activities across the value chains expected to raise the supply of injectables are boosting the market growth. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and others is the key factor driving the market growth. The high burden of chronic diseases among the population is anticipated to increase the demand for effective and safe injectables hence propelling the market growth.

Furthermore, the rising focus of companies on developing injectables for new therapeutic classes is expected to increase their adoption by physicians and patients and their availability in the market, which in turn is anticipated to fuel market growth. However, the high expenses associated with inventory management and the availability of alternate drug delivery methods are likely to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.
