Topical drug delivery market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. The key factors contributing to the market growth include the growing incidence of burn injuries attributed to which there is high adoption of topical drugs as it is one of the major application areas of topical drugs. For instance, in November 2021, according to the data provided by Lancet Public Health, burn is one of the major causes of disability, with more than 8 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). Topical drugs are majorly used for effective burn treatment and management. Many antimicrobial agents for burn treatment are available that includes Fenistil (GSK), Sulfamylon cream (Mylan), and Bactroban (GSK), among others. Thus attributed to the increase in burn cases the demand for new research and drug development and delivery is increasing and directly positively impacting the market growth.
However, topical drugs may cause various side effects such as allergies, which is the major factor hampering the growth of the market. Additionally, the patients with pre-existing skin conditions are at a higher risk of developing such allergic reactions. Thus, the increasing self-administration of topical drugs in-home care is providing high opportunities for players operating in the topical drug delivery market.
Segmental Outlook
The global topical drug delivery market is segmented based on the product, route of administration, and facility of use. Based on product, the market is sub-segmented into semi-solid formulations, liquid formulations, solid formulations, and transdermal products. Semi-solid formulations include creams, ointments, lotions, gel, and pastes. Liquid formulations comprise suspensions and solutions. The solid formulation includes powders and suppositories. Further, the transdermal products include transdermal patches and semi-solid. Based on the route of administration, the market is sub-segmented into dermal drug delivery, ophthalmic drug delivery, rectal drug delivery, vaginal drug delivery, and nasal drug delivery. Based on the facility of use, the market is subdivided into home care settings, hospitals & clinics, burn centers, and other facilities. Among the route of administration, the dermal drug delivery segment is anticipated to hold a considerable share in the market due to several advantages offered to it. Some of the advantages include pain-free self-administration for patients, narrow therapeutic indices, elimination of frequent administration of drugs, and injections to maintain a constant drug concentration.
Among the transdermal product, the transdermal patches sub-segment is expected to hold a prominent share in the market. The advantages of transdermal medicine including excellent ease of administration among others coupled with the increasing incidences of several problems such as migraine, hormone disturbances, joint pain, and others are some prominent factor driving the segmental growth. Transdermal patches are non-invasive which decreases the inconvenience brought on by parenteral or intravenous therapies. As per the data provided by Amgen Inc., Migraine is a major global health issue. It affects an estimated number of 1 billion people globally, and is the second leading cause of people living with a disability. It also stated that in the prevalence of migraine in the US is 12%, majorly diagnosed in people aged between 30 to 49 years. Thus, owing to it the demand for non-invasive patches increasing to deliver the drug directly into the bloodstream through the skin.
Regional Outlooks
The global topical drug delivery market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East &Africa, and Latin America. North America is expected to hold a prominent share owing to the growing number of smokers in the region which in turn is increasing the demand for drugs and advancements in transdermal patches.
Global Topical Drug Delivery Market Growth, by Region 2022-2028
The Asia-Pacific Region is Fastest Growing in the Global Topical Drug Delivery Market
The region is anticipated to witness the fastest growth in the market owing to the increasing number of patients with skin disease and technological advancements, innovations along with the rising contribution of players in expansion and new launches.
