3. India Scenario
• Hindustan Syringes and Medical Devices (HMD), is planning to nearly
double its production capacity — from 57 crore units in June to 100
crore units by next year.

• Iscon Surgicals, another top manufacturer of syringes in India -
production capacity is 2 crore units per month and planning to expand
to 7.5 crore units
• All India Syringe and Needle Manufacturers Association (AISNMA), has
also written to the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare that it

4. Becton, Dickinson and Company
Becton, Dickinson and Company BDX,
also popularly known as BD,
announced its decision to invest $1.2
billion to expand and upgrade
manufacturing capacity as well as
technology for pre-fillable syringes
(PFS) and advanced drug delivery
systems (ADDS) over four years. The
expansion and upgrade will take place
throughout the company’s six global
manufacturing locations along with the
addition of a manufacturing facility in
Europe.
5. Global demand could be around 1,000 crore
syringes
• Even if 60 per cent of the world’s population is immunised, it would mean 800 crore-
1,000 crore syringes of various types globally would be required
• The estimated demand in India would be around 90 crore syringes for just one shot of
vaccine, considering 70 per cent of the country is being vaccinated.
• The number would amplify to 180 crore or even to 270 crore, if the vaccine India
chooses needs two to three shots
• Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) is the largest US supplier of injection devices.
• There is a dire need of stocking ancillary devices including syringes, vials critical for
immunization. India will need to have 2.6 billion syringes and a time frame of almost two and a
half years to vaccinate all India population
