by The global pharmaceutical drug delivery market consists of a wide range of products used to deliver active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from the site of administration to target sites in the body as intended. Drug delivery products including oral drug delivery systems, pulmonary drug delivery systems, transmucosal drug delivery systems, injectable drug delivery systems, and implants & intrauterine devices are used to deliver drugs for the treatment of various diseases. Advancement in biologics delivery systems such as monoclonal antibodies, gene therapy, and vaccines are driving the growth of pharmaceutical drug delivery market.
The global pharmaceutical drug delivery market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2307.27 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 23% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Dynamics:
The growth of the pharmaceutical drug delivery market is expected to be driven by the advancement in biologics delivery systems. Biologics have revolutionized the treatment of various diseases. However, their delivery remains a challenge due to low oral bioavailability and degradation in the gastrointestinal tract. Advancement in transmucosal and targeted drug delivery systems provides protection to biologics and enables their localized or targeted delivery to specific sites of action. This is expected to increase the demand for pharmaceutical drug delivery products in the coming years.
Another factor fueling the growth of the market is the rising prevalence of chronic diseases globally. Chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases require long term medication. Pharmaceutical companies are focusing on development of advanced drug delivery systems to improve patient compliance. Sustained and controlled drug delivery devices such as implantable and transdermal drug delivery systems provide freedom from repetitive dosing and enhance treatment effectiveness of chronic disease management. This is further expected to support the market growth over the forecast period.
Segment Analysis
The pharmaceutical drug delivery market can be segmented into oral drug delivery, pulmonary drug delivery, injectable drug delivery, opthalmic drug delivery, nasal drug delivery, topical drug delivery, and transmucosal drug delivery. The oral drug delivery segment currently dominates the market due to ease of ingestion and better patient compliance for medication. This segment covers tablets, capsules, suspensions and solutions meant for oral intake.
PEST Analysis
Political: The market is influenced by regulatory standards set by authorities like FDA for new drug approval and clinical trials. Changes in healthcare policies of different nations also impact market dynamics.
