“Growing Adoption of Safety-Engineered Needles”
- One prominent trend in the global needles market is the growing adoption of safety-engineered needles
- This trend is driven by the increasing awareness of needlestick injuries, rising regulatory pressure to improve occupational safety, and the need to reduce healthcare-associated risks
- For instance, healthcare facilities are increasingly shifting to safety needles, prompting companies such as BD and Medline to expand their portfolios with retractable and shielded needle technologies
- The demand for safety-engineered designs is also growing across hospitals, clinics, and home care settings due to their role in preventing accidental exposures
- As healthcare systems continue prioritizing staff safety and compliance, this trend is expected to significantly influence innovation and investment in the needles market
