MARKET OVERVIEW- GLOBAL TOPICAL DRUG DELIVERY MARKET

MARKET DRIVERS 

The growing incidence of skin infections such as eczema, psoriasis and minor ailments including acne are the main factors driving the growth of this market. In addition, the increasing incidence of burns, the prevalence of diabetes and eye disease, and the extensive use of drugs for the treatment of diabetic neuropathic pain and foot ulcers are expected to accelerate overall market growth.

Burns were a leading cause of disability in 2021, according to Lancet Public Health, with over 8 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). The high incidence of burns in key regional segments around the world has led to a sustained demand for topical medications for effective burn treatment and management. Many topical antimicrobials are used to treat burns.  This is expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. One of the emerging trends in the topical drug delivery market is the delivery of biologics by means of transdermal route of administration. The use of large molecule transdermal delivery offers significant benefits to patients, such as painless drug delivery and cost-effective treatment. This factor is expected to favour market growth. Furthermore, the preference for dermal drug delivery to control or prolong drug delivery and the use of this process as an alternative to the oral route is expected to drive market growth. Furthermore, the ease of use of the system, coupled with the growing need for self-administered drugs, also slows the growth of the market within the forecast period.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Self-administration of drugs in home care settings is expected to present significant growth opportunities for players operating in the topical drug delivery market. This is mainly due to the increase in the geriatric population and the closure of regular OPDs for a few months during COVID-19. The elderly are a large consumer base of topical home medications. This factor also increases the need for inhaled, topical and transdermal medications tailored to the needs of most patients. Transdermal drug delivery improves ease of drug delivery by using a transdermal patch that can be easily self-administered. It also provides convenient and painless self-administration for patients. This approach helps reduce healthcare costs by reducing the length of hospital stay. Also, in the case of transdermal patches, healthcare professionals can easily determine if a patch has been applied safely. This is one of the key opportunities which is expected to increase the demand for transdermal patches, driving the growth of the topical medicines. Besides, emerging features and new technologies has gained major attention of end user segment and this factor is expected to provide rising new growth opportunities for the market over the forecast period. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Topical drug delivery refers to the application of drugs to the surface of the skin or into the layers of the skin or mucous membranes. The skin acts as a barrier and prevents the penetration of many bees, although it is an ideal place to achieve both local and systemic effects through the administration of drug substances. However, drugs with larger particle sizes are not easily absorbed through the skin. To facilitate skin absorption, the molecular weight of a compound should be less than 500 Daltons when developing drugs for use in topical dermatological therapies. These high molecular weight drugs are poorly soluble in lipids and cannot achieve the desired therapeutic effect and effect. Percutaneous absorption decreases with high molecular weight. This reduced therapeutic effect of topical drugs limits the therapeutic efficacy of topical drug administration. These factors are expected to restrain the market growth over the forecast period.  

MARKET GROWTH CHALLENGES

The Covid-19 pandemic hampered the growth of market to major extent which has created a major challenges for the market growth. There are several alternative ways of administering the drug available to patients. The preference for alternative forms of drug delivery and boosters due to drug failure is expected to hinder market growth. In addition, the technical barriers associated with skin irritation and permeability are expected to challenge the growth of the topical drug delivery market over the forecast period.

CUMULATIVE GROWTH ANALYSIS

The report provides in-depth analysis of global topical drug delivery market, market size, and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the forecast period of 2022-2028, considering 2021 as the base year.
