The Asian injectable drug delivery market is expected to reach $75.6 billion in 2020 growing at a CAGR of 13 per cent. Today, Asia is considered the fastest growing injectables market due to factors like the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, growth of biologics and biosimilars, technological developments and rapidly rising demand for self-injection medical devices.1
