The 0.30gm segment was the largest and was valued at USD 1,931.91 billion in 2018. The adoption of generic epinephrine autoinjectors is expected to increase further once Viatriss generic EpiPen gets launched in the market. In the European market, with the higher availability of different brands, Viatris's share may decrease, which may hamper its epinephrine auto-injectors market growth. Also, the gradual price hike of Viatris year-wise, after the periodic exit of its leading competitors from the market, led researchers from universities and emerging companies to focus on developing an alternative to EpiPen. Hence, with the latest developments, the growth of the epinephrine auto-injectors market by 0.30gm dosage is assured. These factors under the 0.30 gm dosage market segment will propel the growth of the epinephrine autoinjector market during the forecast period.
Epinephrine autoinjectors are mostly used in outpatient units and emergency units of high-end hospitals and clinics in developed countries. Hospitals use them only for those patients who have appropriate medical insurance plans. In the US, there has been a consistent price hike of EpiPen for the last few years. Alternatives such as ampules or vials have become more popular. Viatriss EpiPen is the most commonly used device and has been reported to cause accidental injections on thumbs and other fingers, which are harmful. In contrast, Amneal Pharmaceuticals Inc. Adrenaclick is reported to be the most difficult to use. Hence, with the ease of availability of cheaper alternatives and usage issues of epinephrine autoinjectors, the global autoinjector market by hospitals is expected to show moderate growth during the forecast period.
In developed countries, epinephrine autoinjectors are extensively used by individuals affected by allergies and vulnerable to anaphylactic shocks. Viatriss EpiPen is reimbursed by most medical insurance companies in the US and is a preferred epinephrine autoinjector by insured allergic individuals. Anaphylaxis can be fatal and requires immediate medication. The availability of products with advanced features helps patients reduce hospital visits and encourages self-administration of the drug, thereby promoting fast treatment. Moreover, many companies in the epinephrine auto-injectors market are launching new self-administration autoinjectors with extensive R&D procedures and are undergoing approvals from authorized bodies, such as the FDA. Companies are getting such approvals, especially for autoinjectors. Therefore, the global epinephrine autoinjector market is expected to show steep growth during the forecast period.

North America is estimated to contribute 46% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that will shape the market during the forecast period. North America was the leading revenue contributor to the epinephrine auto-injectors market in 2020, owing to high revenue generation in the US and Canadian markets. The lack of FDA approvals and strict FDA regulations for not considering any other generic epinephrine autoinjectors as an equivalent to Viatriss EpiPen eased the way for Viatriss monopoly in the booming US market. Furthermore, the epinephrine market in the US is projected to show significant growth owing to the higher adoption rates of generic epinephrine autoinjectors among individuals. With the launch of the generic EpiPen, the sales volume of epinephrine autoinjectors rose in the US market, which further drove the market growth.
In addition, R&D in developing autoinjectors in the market is expected to introduce varied types of autoinjectors in North America. For instance, in North America, researchers at university levels are striving hard to find an alternative to EpiPen. Also, due to favourable reimbursement policies, increasing partnerships between key companies, contract research organizations in emerging markets, and high expenditures in healthcare. Therefore, the above-mentioned factors are expected to drive the regional market during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.

There are multiple factors influencing market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
The rise in awareness of anaphylaxis and the availability of innovative epinephrine autoinjectors is notably driving the market growth. Global companies engage in awareness programs to educate people about epinephrine autoinjectors. For instance, Viatris is engaged in a multi-year alliance with Walt Disney Parks and Resorts to increase awareness regarding anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is the primary medication in the treatment line for anaphylaxis. Pharmaceutical companies are innovating technologically advanced epinephrine autoinjectors for the clinical and self-administration of anaphylaxis. Such advancements include making portable autoinjectors with innovative designs, devices with two auto-injectable doses in a single device, and devices made with a 0.1-mg dose of epinephrine for infants to 0.5 0.75-mg doses of epinephrine for adults.
Also, autoinjectors with better temperature stability and longer shelf life for epinephrine autoinjectors are also witnessing a global demand, especially for hospital and clinical applications. Thus, the rise in awareness through initiatives by key vendors, the availability of epinephrine autoinjectors in the market, and government initiatives to use therapeutics are expected to improve product sales during the forecast period. This, in turn, will positively impact the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Frequent product launches due to government pressure on companies is an emerging trend shaping market growth. The US market is forecasted to witness a number of product launches during the forecast period due to the increased government pressure on the FDA to approve more generic products of epinephrine autoinjectors. For instance, after the price surge of Viatriss EpiPen, the US Governor, Margaret Wood Hassan, appealed to the FDA to consider and approve other alternatives to Viatriss EpiPen, including generic epinephrine autoinjectors. Companies such as Bausch Health and ALK Abello, which have substantial shares in the European market, may consider entering the US market after this US government initiative.
For instance, In March 2020, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries announced the commercial launch of the AJOVY in the prefilled YpsoMate 2.25 autoinjector in the German market. This is a clinical and self-administered autoinjector for adults with moderate to severe migraines. The product can administer 2.25 ml of the drug, and it is an anti-CGRP treatment for the prevention of migraines with monthly and quarterly dosing options. Hence, product launches and approvals for new products are expected to positively impact market growth during the forecast period.
Product recalls and regulatory issues a significant challenges hindering market growth. The global epinephrine autoinjector market has continuously faced hindrances owing to periodic product recalls and regulatory issues over the years. The FDA approval process for epinephrine autoinjectors also has been slow, which paved the way for Viatriss monopoly. Additionally, after Sanofis exit, Viatris monopolized the US market, partially due to the FDAs limited approval of other products and partially because their only competitor, Impax Laboratories (now Amneal Pharmaceuticals), did not have an automated manufacturing facility of generic Adrenaclick supply.
Additionally, since the accuracy of epinephrine dose delivery is crucial during emergency anaphylactic shock, vendors are not left with any option other than a product recall. Hence, not many companies prefer to enter the market, which negatively influences the growth of the market during the forecast period.
