The market for lancet and pen needles is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR during the forecast period in the Asia Pacific region due to increasing prevalence of diseases like diabetes and osteoporosis. According to a study conducted by the American Diabetes Association in 2016, about 80% of the diabetic patients resides in the developing countries and it is estimated that the rise of type 2 diabetes in South Asia is likely to be 150% between 2000 and 2035. Moreover, in the Western Pacific region, the number of diabetic patients is expected to reach 201.8 million by 2035. Additionally, according to the International Osteoporosis Foundation by 2050, over ~50% of all osteoporotic hip fractures are expected to occur in Asia. Factors such as increasing geriatric population and growing healthcare expenditure along with favourable government policies are projected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
