Drug delivery is a process of administering a pharmaceutical compound for achieving a therapeutic effect in humans or animals. The global pharmaceutical drug delivery system market size is expected to expand at a significant rate during the forecast period. One of the major factors contributing to the growth of the market includes increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, CVDs, respiratory diseases, and others. The rising burden of such chronic diseases is encouraging the pharmaceutical companies to invest in R&D for the development of novel technologies for drug delivery, which in turn is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, growth in the biologics market further gives a boost to the growth of the global market.

Surging Prevalence of Chronic Diseases is Driving the Market Growth

Surging prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, CVDs, and diabetes, among others are expected to drive the demand for pharmaceutical drugs, which in turns, augments the growth of pharmaceutical drug delivery system market. Increasing prevalence of CVDs is estimated to be one of the major factors that are driving the growth of the market across the globe. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), CVDs are estimated as one of the major causes of mortality across the globe, accounting for more than 17.3 million mortality per year. Further, the number of mortalities by CVDs is estimated to reach 23.6 million by 2030. CVDs account for 31% mortalities globally, of which 80% occur in low and middle-income countries. According to the data from the American Heart Society, in 2017, CVDs are the cause of around 800,000 mortalities in the US. Moreover, heart diseases are the leading cause of mortality across the globe and the US, and about 370,000 Americans lose their lives every year. In addition, the prevalence of cancer is also expected to support the significant growth of the market across the globe. According to the WHO, the global cancer burden was estimated to have risen to 18.1 million new cases and 9.6 million mortalities in 2018. Further, the aforementioned organization estimates that 1 in 5 men and 1 in 6 women, across the globe, develop cancer during their lifetime. Moreover, the disease has a mortality rate of nearly one in 8 men and one in 11 women.

Segmental Outlook

The global pharmaceutical drug delivery system market is segmented on the basis of route of administration, application, and end-user. On the basis of route of administration, the report analyzes injectable drug delivery, topical drug delivery, pulmonary drug delivery, nasal drug delivery, and others. On the basis of application, the market is segregated into infectious diseases, cancer, CVDs, diabetes, nervous system disorders, respiratory diseases, and others. Whereas, on the basis of end-user, the market is classified into hospitals & clinics, ASCs, homecare, and diagnostic clinics. Hospitals and clinics end-user segment are expected to dominate the overall market in 2018. This is due to many inpatient and outpatient visits to hospitals. Further, a significant requirement of a large volume of drugs along with their respective devices to fulfill the demand of the large patient pool is also augmenting the growth of the hospitals and clinics segment.

Respiratory Diseases Application Segment to Contribute Significantly Over the Forecast Period

Pharmaceutical drug delivery system for respiratory diseases held a significant share in 2018. The growth of this segment is expected to be driven by increasing prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) coupled with the increasing number of smokers across the globe. The significant prevalence of COPD has been recorded across the globe. According to WHO, there were 251 million COPD cases reported across the globe in 2016. Moreover, it was estimated that 3.17 million mortalities were caused due to COPD in 2015, which is 5% of all the mortalities occurred in 2016, globally. Moreover, the prevalence of COPD is further expected to increase in near future owing to surging geriatric population pool and smoking prevalence across the globe. These facts and figures reflect the need for pharmaceutical drugs for the treatment of COPD and other respiratory disorders. Thereby, augmenting the demand for various drug delivery systems.

Regional Outlook

The report analyzes the global pharmaceutical drug delivery system market on the basis of region into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. North America is expected to dominate the market in 2018 followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. Major economies contributing to the market growth of Europe include UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and others. Asia-Pacific is expected to register the fastest growth over the forecast period. The growth of the region is due to the surging prevalence of chronic disorders coupled with increasing geriatric population and rapidly evolving healthcare industry across emerging economies of Asia-Pacific such as India, China, Indonesia, and South Korea.
