Drug Delivery Devices Market Trends



  • Increasing adoption of advanced technology for effectively delivering the drug on the target site is driving the market growth


The total market is anticipated to rise as a result of increased adoption of cutting-edge technology for efficiently delivering the medicine to the target site. Moreover, by maximizing the drug's presence at the target site, use of these drug delivery devices lowers the likelihood of side effects. This reduces the dose and its related negative effects. Additionally, by using less of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, this aids in lowering the cost of the final product. R&D in the field is anticipated to increase in response to the rising need for innovative medication delivery systems. Strategic collaborations between major market players are ongoingly formed to produce cutting-edge technology for diverse applications. AstraZeneca and the biotechnology firm Aptamer Group partnered in January 2019 to explore Aptamer's technology and create a revolutionary kidney drug delivery system. Additionally, the availability of these devices for patients is rising due to the rising acceptance of drug delivery systems in home-care settings.


In response to the rising demand, numerous businesses are creating patient-friendly drug delivery systems, and other market participants are acquiring these businesses to diversify their holdings. Aptar Pharma purchased Noble International and their training drug delivery systems in October 2019. Prefilled syringes and auto-injectors are two examples of the patient-centric enhanced medication delivery training devices Noble International created. Through the use of sophisticated drug delivery systems, this acquisition will assist patients in appropriately administering prescriptions.


Studies are still being conducted to improve the patient-friendliness, accessibility, and accuracy of drug delivery systems. In accordance with this, participants are consistently investigating novel technologies and creating cutting-edge medication delivery systems. In October 2019, Phillips-Medisize, which is now a division of Molex Company, announced that they would introduce a wearable medicine administration system with electronic capabilities. The product is currently in the post-phase three development stage and combines two-day, single-use, disposable technology for subcutaneous medication delivery. Additionally, the business has previously submitted the New Drug Application (NDA) with important supporting data to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This product's debut is anticipated for the second half of 2020. The development of medication delivery systems is also being aided by advancements in polymer science. The creation of such distinctive polymers will improve the precision of the devices' drug delivery. Therefore, it is anticipated that the creation of technologically sophisticated drug delivery systems will fuel market expansion over the course of the projection period. Thus, driving the Drug Delivery Devices market revenue.


Drug Delivery Devices Market Segment Insights


Drug Delivery Devices Route of Administration Insights


The Drug Delivery Devices Market segmentation, based on route of administration, includes oral, ocular, inhalation, nasal, injectable, topical, and others.
