(PharmaNewsWire.Com, August 04, 2021 ) The topical drug delivery market is projected to reach USD 129.8 billion by 2025 from USD 95.2 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.
Growth Influencing Factors:
The growth of this market is majorly driven by the high prevalence of skin and soft tissue infections, the increasing prevalence of eye diseases, and burns. However, the presence of alternative drug delivery modes such as oral and injectable routes is expected to restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Opportunity: Delivery of biologics through the transdermal route
The delivery of biologics through the transdermal route is one of the emerging trends in the topical drug delivery market. The transdermal delivery of large molecules as an alternative to intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intravenous routes of administration is expected to provide significant patient benefits, such as painless drug delivery and cost-effective treatment.
Challenge: Technical barriers related to skin irritation and permeability
The potential for local adverse reactions and skin irritation is a significant challenge for topical drug delivery formulation and transdermal systems. However, the emergence of novel techniques for skin permeation and the development of methods to reduce skin irritation would help widen the topical drug delivery formulations and transdermal systems market for hydrophilic compounds, macromolecules, and conventional drugs for new therapeutic indications.
Home care settings is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period
The home care settings segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, primarily due to the factors such as the convenience and affordability of topical drugs for home administration. Also, for patients requiring long-term therapy, inpatient care is not only extremely expensive but also prevents patients from resuming a normal lifestyle and work activities. In this regard, technological advancements have helped patients undergo therapies effectively and safely at home.
Geographical Growth:
North America is expected to hold the largest share for players operating in the topical drug delivery market
North America accounted for the largest share of the topical drug delivery market in 2019. Factors such as presence of a highly developed healthcare system and a large number of topical drug-manufacturing companies in the country are among the few factors expected to contribute to the growth of this market. Furthermore, the growing geriatric population in the US, high disposable incomes, increasing preference for pain-free drug delivery solutions, and the availability of advanced and effective technology are driving market growth in North America.
Key Players:
The prominent players in this market are Johnson & Johnson (US), Nestle SA (Switzerland), Novartis AG (Switzerland), GlaxoSmithKline (UK), Bausch Health Companies (Canada), Merck & Co (US), and Bayer AG (Germany).
