Drug Delivery System time22 Aug 2024 20:21
The global pharmaceutical drug delivery market is projected to reach $2206.5 billion by 2026, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. (12) While the overall goal for drug delivery technologies remains transporting and maintaining therapeutic concentrations of a drug at the target biological site, we envision that the future will focus on (i) enhancing targeting efficiency at both the tissue and cellular levels and increasing the delivery of molecules through barriers such as the brain, intestine, skin, lung, and vagina; (ii) developing next-generation long-acting delivery technologies to improve drug PK and achieve preprogrammed pulsatile release over a period of time; (iii) developing drug delivery technologies for personalized therapies; and (iv) merging advanced technologies, including machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), wireless, and soft electronics, with drug delivery.
