Demand for Injectable Drug Delivery and Impact of COVID-19……..
The global injectable
drug delivery market is expected
to reach USD 931.1 billion by 2024,
according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increase in number
of chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer has fueled the need for injectable
drug delivery. Unlike other traditional forms of drug delivery, injectables
allow maximum bioavailability of the pharmaceutical drug as it bypasses the
first pass metabolism. With substantial growth in technological advancements,
the devices being manufactured and marketed are built so as to cater to the
specific needs of the patients.
Unavailability of targeted therapy for
CoVid-19 is forcing healthcare professionals to provide symptom-based treatment
to patients. This includes a wide range of treatment options based on factors
such as patient type, symptoms, and drug availability. Currently, major drugs
used in the treatment of CoVid19 include Chloroquine, Hydroxychloroquine,
Remdesivir, Lopinavir, Azithromycin, and Tocilizumab. Most of these drugs are
available as tablets and capsules. In countries with the presence of pharmaceutical
manufacturing giants, the market is expected to witness a sudden surge in the
upcoming weeks. We are working to account for this surge in our estimates. The
report will account for Covid-19 as a key market contributor.
With the advent of self-injection
devices, injectable drugs can be self administered without the need of medical
assistance. A large number of technology-oriented developments have taken place
in the biologics market, which further increases the applicability of these
injectable devices in the challenging disease areas. Self-injection devices
have allowed patients suffering from diabetes to manage insulin levels with
auto-injectors, pen-injectors, and needle-free injectors; thus, the homecare
segment has been a large grosser in the end-user application.
The major restraints in this market
are injuries and infections caused by needles, ambiguities related to
regulatory reimbursements, sterility of the injectable drugs, and the
preference of other drug delivery systems that possess less toxicity and are
easy to administer. Despite these restraints, the market potential for
injectable drug delivery products is tremendous with majority of the key
players opting to injectables over other forms of delivery. The injectable drug
delivery industry, based on product type is segmented into two sub-types namely
self-injection devices and conventional injection devices. Further, on the
basis of therapeutic use, the injectable drug delivery industry is segmented
into autoimmune disorders, hormonal disorders, oncology, and others.
The key players in this market include
companies like Pfizer, Inc., Baxter International, Inc., Terumo Corporation,
Becton, Dickinson and Company, Schott AG among others. Some of the major
players in the market have consolidated partnerships for certain products that
allow for ease of manufacturing and distribution.

The injectable drug delivery industry
by end-user application is categorized into hospitals, homecare settings, and
others including research establishments, diagnostics, and clinical
laboratories.
Further key findings from the study
suggest:
·
North America is expected to
lead the market for injectable drug delivery devices with the largest number of
patients suffering from chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer along with
autoimmune disorders. The reason why countries in North America are leading is
due to the technological innovations and advanced research in the area that
enable them to excel at designing new and improved drug delivery products.
·
The Asia Pacific market is set
to lead exceptionally well owing to the partnerships with other well
established global players. This region has also witnessed enormous investments
in research and development; thus, accelerating the growth of the injectables
market in this region.
·
The homecare settings has been
the most profit garnering segment with a large cohort of patients suffering
from chronic diseases and hence the resultant high utility of these devices at
a primary level for better control and management of the disease.
·
Some key market players include
Pfizer, Inc., Schott AG, Becton, Dickinson and Company, Baxter International,
Inc., and ELI Lilly & Co.
The
injectable drug delivery (IDD) market was estimated at USD 331.0 billion in
2015. With an upsurge in the number of chronic diseases like diabetes and
cancer, the need for drug delivery systems has risen substantially. The
treatment of an increasing number of diseases,such as Wilson’s disease,
autoimmune diseases, cystic fibrosis, hepatitis C, hemophilia is being carried
out using injectables for a faster course of action. These drugs can be
administered to unconscious and comatose patients and are hence preferred over
the other modes of drug delivery.
The
advancements in technological processes have resulted in the generation of
improved and enhanced devices, as well as equipments that are tailor-made,
specific to the category of patient care in question. In addition,
technological innovations like dual-injectables have further enhanced the method
of drug delivery performed by injectables and the development of the biologics
market has further led to an increase in the demand for these injectables;
thus, these significant changes are driving the market growth.
Infections
and injuries caused by the needles used in syringes are a major restraint for
this market. Contaminations arising due to previously used injectables and
needle-stick injuries may cause serious complications needing further
remediation and these complications often lead to further hurdles in the
management of the disease. In certain cases other drug delivery methods, such
as oral administration of drugs are often preferred over injections as they
obviate toxicity implications. In addition, strict regulatory encumbrance
further deters the use of IDD forms. Furthermore, several concerns have been
raised in the recent past with respect to the sterility of injectables, which
has led to a decline in the number of approved production facilities that
manufacture these products and hence the resultant shortage of these drugs in
the market. Despite many restraints, the market potential for IDD is immense
due to the associated advantages and its wide applicability in a range of
ailments. Furthermore, the market is also fueled with many major companies that
are adapting to the demand of injectables over oral dosages.

On
the basis of product, the market is categorized into two segments, namely,
devices, and formulations. The devices segment is further segmented into
self-injection devices and conventional injection devices. Self-injection
devices comprise of needle-free injectors, auto-injectors, pen-injectors, and
others.
On
the basis of formulations, the IDD market is divided into conventional drug
delivery, novel drug delivery, and others. Conventional drug delivery systems
include solutions, reconstituted/ lyophilized formulations, suspensions, and
emulsions. Novel drug delivery systems consist of colloidal dispersions, which
are liposomes, niosomes, polymeric or mixed micelles, and nanoparticles.
Microparticles are designed particularly for the rapid absorption of a drug at
the intended site. With the majority of the companies investing heavily in
R&D, the use of colloidal dispersions in the drug delivery systems has been
rising significantly.
