  • Global Pen Needles Market Report 2020-2027

    Dublin, Jan. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Pen Needles Market By Type, By Length, By Therapy, By Usability, By Distribution Channel, And By End Use, By Region, Segment Forecasts To 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global pen needles market is forecast to reach USD 2.66 Billion by 2027, from USD 1.53 Billion in 2019The increasing elderly populations, rising incidences of obesity-related diabetes, and a favorable reimbursement scenario are the key factors leading to the burgeoning growth in market demand.Pen needles are used for drug administration for many diseases and are used by both healthcare professionals and patients themselves. They have become popularly accepted with the advancements in therapy and a supportive reimbursement structure in many nations.According to the World Health Organization (WHO), from 2015 to 2050, the aged population across the globe will be rise from 12% to 22% of the total global population. Owing to this, the incidence of target diseases such as chronic diseases and cancer is expected to grow and, in return, will boost the demand. An increase in healthcare expenditure across the globe also supports the adoption of user-friendly technologies. According to the American Diabetes Association, the annual healthcare cost in the U.S. increased by 26% during the last five years due to increased diabetes incidences.North America holds the largest share as of 2019 because of an increasing incidence of diabetes in the region. Government initiatives to spread awareness about the product along with favorable funding from many private players is leading the market growth.Companies adopt both organic and inorganic growth strategies in order to ensure a steady pattern of growth. Acquisitions and mergers are commonly witnessed in the industry. In December 2017, BD acquired Bard to make use of the latter's product portfolio and innovation pipeline.Report Highlights The standard pen needles are used by healthcare professionals as well as individual patients for injecting a variety of medications into the body. These pens are most commonly used by people with diabetes who often require multiple dosages of insulin injections daily.4mm pen needles provide equal glycaemic control when compared to longer needles. 4mm pen needles have been shown to cause less pain as compared to longer needles, reduce any anxiety associated with injection, and provide an overall improved experience, which helps people with diabetes adhere more to an insulin injectable therapy program and also improves outcomes.The fact that insulin cannot be consumed orally makes insulin pen an integral part of insulin therapy. The underlying reason for the increasing popularity of insulin pens is that it is accurate, simple, and convenient in terms of usage compared to syringe and vial.The retailer segment is primarily driven by consumers falling under the developing regions cohort. The rising cases of diabetes are a major driving factor for manufacturers. Companies can tap into these unique market characteristics by building a robust distribution system based on retail sales.Reusable pens contain a replaceable insulin cartridge. Once the cartridge is empty, a person discards it and installs a new one. A patient needs to replace the disposable needle after each shot of insulin. Reusable pens, with proper care, can last for several years.The reason healthcare providers prescribe care users medications that can be injected with the help of an injection pen is, the patient can inject the medicine himself/herself with the help of this medical device. The ability of care users to take medicine on their own and incorporate it in the in-home healthcare setting that results in enhanced care user's adherence to care regimes that improve their quality of life and minimize healthcare costs.Key participants include Becton, Dickinson and Company, Novo Nordisk A/S, Ypsomed Holding AG, B.

    The Autonomous Navigation market is expected to grow from US$ 427. 8 million in 2019 to US$ 796. 0 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 10. 1% from 2020 to 2027. With growing industrial economies, the industries are integrating advanced technologies in their business process to optimize productivity.New York, Jan. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Autonomous Navigation Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis By Solution, Application, Vehicle Type, and Platform" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06010031/?utm_source=GNW With a growing young and aging working population in industries, the need to incorporate autonomous technologies in the industrial sector is rising, intending to provide products on time. Therefore, industries—such as logistics—are inclined toward automation to develop automated guided vehicles (AVGs) for time management, accuracy, and productivity. With advancements in robotic technologies, the industrial sector, including logistics, is deploying automation to boost production quality with a better time management aspect.Earlier, AGVs were restricted to manufacturing systems; however, at present, with continuous technological developments, AGVs are getting used in the logistics industry for repeating transportation tasks in container terminals, warehouses, and underground transportation systems.The AGVs, robotic technologies, and automated technologies are heavily used in developed and developing countries where robotics applications are common.Availability of laser-guided navigation, magnetic navigation, and optical navigation, AGV with natural navigation (SLAM or LiDAR NAVIGATION), wire navigation, and vision navigation is driving the use of AGVs as per the requirement of logistics and other industries. Moreover, presence of companies—such as BlueBotics— developing autonomous navigation technology that can be installed in all customizable AGVs drive the market growth.The governments of countries are putting restrictions on the transportation of humans and goods owing to the continuous growth in the number of COVID-19 infected patients.The manufacturing and construction industries, warehouses, and coal-fired plants are experiencing temporary shutdown in their activities.Due to temporary closure of these industries, the use of autonomous technologies in systems is interrupted.The procurement of new systems with autonomous technology was declined in the first quarter of 2020.In addition, restrictions on supply chain activities are hindering the development cycle and testing of autonomous navigation.The overall autonomous navigation market size has been derived using both primary and secondary sources.To begin the research process, exhaustive secondary research has been conducted using internal and external sources to obtain qualitative and quantitative information related to the market.The process also serves the purpose of obtaining overview and forecast for the autonomous navigation market with respect to all the segments pertaining to the region.Multiple primary interviews have been conducted with industry participants and commentators to validate the data, as well as to gain more analytical insights into the topic.The participants of this process include industry experts such as VPs, business development managers, market intelligence managers, and national sales managers, along with external consultants such as valuation experts, research analysts, and key opinion leaders, specializing in the autonomous navigation market.
