Microneedle Flu Vaccine Market is undergoing transformation driven by self-administration

Microneedle flu vaccines consist of influenza antigens encapsulated within micron-sized needles that can painlessly and efficiently deliver vaccines into the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. When compared to conventional needles, microneedles are less painful and cause minimal skin damage. They offer enhanced stability and enable self-administration of vaccines without the need for medical experts, making vaccination easy and accessible. This reduces healthcare costs and burden on medical facilities while improving vaccination rates. Various innovative strategies are being evaluated to fabricate cost-effective solid microneedles that can efficiently deliver viral vaccines.

Global Microneedle Flu Vaccine Market market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,547.5 million in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
