by The Pharmaceutical Drug Delivery Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 2,307.27 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.4% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
The pharmaceutical drug delivery market involves development and innovation of delivery technologies to transport pharmaceutical compounds in the body. Common drug delivery products include transdermal patches, metered dose inhalers, nebulizers, and drug eluting stents. Oral drug delivery is the most preferred route due to ease of administration. However, alternative delivery such as injectable, pulmonary, ocular and others are gaining traction due to improved efficacy and patient compliance.
Market Dynamics:
Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease is driving the demand for pharmaceutical drug delivery systems. According to WHO, cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. Novel drug delivery technologies allow for controlled release of drugs, minimal side effects and improved bioavailability. This fuels their adoption across various disease indications. Additionally, rapid growth of biologics and large molecule drugs is propelling the need for advanced delivery systems. Biologics require specialized delivery methods due to their sensitivity to environmental conditions. Liposomes, drug conjugates and polymeric nanoparticles provide targeted and sustained delivery of biologics.
Segment Analysis
The pharmaceutical drug delivery market can be segmented by route of administration into oral drug delivery, pulmonary drug delivery, injectable drug delivery, ocular drug delivery, nasal drug delivery, topical drug delivery, and transmucosal drug delivery. Among these, the oral drug delivery segment dominates the market and is estimated to continue its dominance over the forecast period.
