Hansy was founded inIn 2014, dedicated to the research and development of pen injectors (injection pens).Injection pens are high-precision syringes designed specifically for medications in cartridge vials.It features precise quantitative injection, enables self-administered medical treatment, and is safe and convenient to use.The scope of use includes: self-administered treatment for chronic diseases, such as insulin and growth hormone; precision medication, such as interferon, various cell therapies, gene therapies, and biologics; and high-end cosmetic injections used in consumer healthcare settings.

 

Taking insulin as an example, in this fieldGlobal Demand for Injection Pens Is200 million units(Standard Pen) to2.5 billion units (disposable pens), representing a market size of RMB 12–50 billion.

 

The market for injection pens is substantial, yet high barriers to entry make it difficult for startups to enter the field. For instance, there are over 1,500 patents related to the structure of injection pens, the vast majority of which have been preemptively registered by foreign companies. This has significantly hindered independent research and development of injection pens in China.
