- The recent growth in popularity of biologics and biosimilars has resulted in significant market growth for the pre-filled syringe space, with the sector expected to reach a projected value of $9.53 billion by 2026. The rise in the number of infections and injuries caused by needle sticks in hospitals has led to increased interest in pre-filled syringes as an alternative.
- West Pharmaceuticals and Schott have announced their intention to combine the SCHOTT iQ Platform with West’s Ready Pack System. The partnership will allow the companies to provide customers “with high-quality glass containment options to complement the stoppers, seals and glass alternatives”.
