In terms of geography, North America dominates the global hypodermic needles market. This is due to increased awareness about importance of hypodermic needles in the region. The U.S. represents the largest market for hypodermic needles followed by Canada in North America. In Europe, Germany, Italy, the U.K. and France holds major share of hypodermic needles market. However, Asia is expected to show high growth rates in the next five years in global hypodermic needles market. This is due to many companies constructing their R&D facilities in the region. Less stringent wages and availability of skilled labor attracts manufacturing companies to invest in Asia. In addition, increasing awareness about various chronic diseases is also supporting in the growth of hypodermic needles market in the region. Japan, China and India are expected to be the fastest growing hypodermic needles markets in Asia.

In recent time, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and technological advancements in hypodermic needles based drug delivery are some of the major drivers of the global hypodermic needles market. For instance, according to an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), diabetes affected 285 million people worldwide in 2010 and the number is expected to reach 439 million by 2030. This increasing prevalence of diabetes has resulted in significant rise in demand of hypodermic and insulin syringes to maintain blood glucose level in diabetics.
