Autoinjectors: Technological Evolution, Current Opportunities and Key Future Growth Areas

Since the introduction of the first autoinjector device in 1980s, their numerous benefits, such as ease-of-use, reduced chances of dosing errors, integrated safety mechanisms, and almost negligible risk of needlestick injuries, have been widely recognized among consumers and healthcare service providers. Autoinjectors are also considered to be potential life cycle management tool. Drugs nearing patent expiry can be developed for delivery using an autoinjector and retain market exclusivity as a combination product. Various initiatives are underway to make these devices even more patient-friendly; in fact, between January 2013 and December 2017, close to 3,800 patents have been published in this domain, indicating the rapid pace at which research is being carried out in this field.
