Due to the rising prevalence of the chronic diseases the adoption of the injectable drug delivery has increased in the recent years. Diabetes mellitus is not only a chronic disease, but also augments various other chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (increased threat of heart attack and congestive heart failure), renal failure, hepatic disorders, immunodeficiency, loss of vision, brain & nervous system disorders, and impaired injury healing time.
Due to these life-threatening diseases associated with diabetes the preference for the self-monitoring and diagnosis has increased in the past few years. This points to the increasing use of injectable drug delivery products hence, would impact the market in a positive manner.
According to the International Diabetes Federation, the number of adults falling between the age group of 20-79 years and living with diabetes in 2021 was around 537 million. As per the same entity, by 2030, this number would approximately be 643 million, and by 2045, this number would be around 783 million.
Apart from this, the growing demand for injection devices with increasingly advanced and automated features that support self-administration is expected to drive the growth of the global market. Insulin delivery devices are designed considering patient requirements and usage for self-administration and home-use.
The daily administration of insulin doses is very uncomfortable and stressful for diabetic patients. Patients are therefore looking for novel medicine delivery systems that are painless, secure, simple to use, and economical. Insulin delivery devices such as insulin pens or pumps have advantages over conventional delivery system (injection). Conventional delivery systems require injection up to seven times per day and less accurate in insulin delivery, and result in greater variability in blood glucose level.
On the other hand, insulin pumps or pens deliver insulin accurately and precisely than injections, provide greater flexibility with exercise, meals, and daily schedules, reduce severe low blood glucose episodes, and help to improve quality of life. These advantages over conventional delivery systems are likely to fuel the growth of the market in the near future.
The global market is thus likely to show significant growth over the coming years with a CAGR of 8.4%, and reach a global market size of around US$ 101.2 Bn by 2033.
“Increased Formulation of Parenteral Products”
The majority of biologic medications are available as injectable. Due to the rising prevalence of various diseases, there are more biologic drugs in development, hence increasing the number of parenteral medications as well. The rising number of parenteral drugs in the pipeline can be considered an important factor to increase the number of parenteral drugs in the market and this is something that would help in increasing the demand for the injectable drug delivery products.
Apart from this, the market will also see opportunities as a result of the need for patient-controlled drug release. One of the most potential and growing innovations in the drug delivery systems is the patient-controlled delivery systems. Chronic conditions including diabetes, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis are increasing and often require daily self-administered injectable therapies.
Although self-administration of medication seems to be convenient, a number of factors such as dosage management, and needle stick injuries can make it difficult. However, advancements in technologies address these issues and have popularized the use of injectable drug delivery devices for patient-controlled medication.
In addition, the geriatric population is a high-risk population for various chronic diseases. Therefore, the use of the injectable drug delivery products can be linked with the rise in geriatric population, creating lucrative opportunities for this market.
“High Operational Costs Associated with Manufacturing”
Manufacturing injectable drug delivery products requires sophisticated machinery, each of which must be properly certified and sterilized before each batch of the various products is produced. Due to the acquisition or rent-to-lease of this capital equipment, this results in high operational costs and debt levels as well.
Additionally, the FDA's requirements for maintaining an appropriately high standard of care in not just manufacturing but also packing, storage and distribution result in a substantial regulatory cost burden. This results in a high cost for the product that may affect the adoption of injectable drug delivery products. This will pose as a challenge in the growth of this market.
Other than this, the increase in needlestick injuries is another factor that can restrain the growth of the global market, as it is one of the crucial concerns of the patients opting for injectable drug delivery products.
Why is the U.S. Market Booming?
“High Frequency of Chronic Diseases”
The U.S. accounted for around 85.2% market share in the North American market in 2022, and a similar trend is expected over the forecast period.
The vast population suffering from various chronic diseases is driving the country’s demand for injectable drug delivery products. According to the findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of now, there are around six individuals out of any 10, who are living with any chronic disease like cancer, heart disease, or diabetes in the U.S. These factors point at the growth of the injectable drug delivery market in this country.
