Market Need
There are an estimated one million needle-sticks (accidentally getting stuck with an exposed needle during a medical procedure) a year. This costs the medical industry over $3 billion annually to test and treat injured health care workers. The worldwide needle-syringe market is $1.5 billion (12 billion units). Safety syringes have less than a 10% penetration into the syringe market. 80% of the market in the year 2000 will be comprised of safety syringes.1 The market potential for the year 2000 is 9.6 billion safety syringes. This leaves 70% market share potential from now till the year 2000. The demand in the U.S. for conventional syringes was 4.8 billion in 1994 representing $700 million in revenues.
