About the Report:
Drug delivery is the method or process of administration of a pharmaceutical drug to safely attain its desired therapeutic effect. Advancements in drug delivery technologies offer several benefits, such as ease of use, convenience, and patient compliance. Drug developers are focusing on suitable delivery and packaging options for increasing the efficiency of drugs and proposing improved patient compliance.
Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies are focusing on R&D to develop new molecules for various therapeutic applications and drug delivery platforms. The companies invest majorly in R&Ds with an aim to deliver high-quality and innovative products to the market. R&D spending by biopharmaceutical companies has also increased over the years.
Expected Revenue Growth:
The global pharmaceutical drug delivery market is projected to reach USD 2,206.5 billion by 2026 from USD 1,656.9 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.
Major Growth Boosting Factors:
Growth in the pharmaceutical drug delivery market can largely be attributed to factors such as the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, growing biologics market, increasing R&D investments, and technological advancements & new product launches.

On the other hand, the risk of needlestick injuries and the increased pricing pressure is expected to limit the market growth to some extent in the coming years.
Driver: Growth in biologics market
Recognizing the potential for biologics manufacturing, companies, such as Evonik (Germany), have made several strategic developments. For instance, the company increased its production capacity by acquiring SurModics in 2021, which focuses on controlled-release parenteral applications. In addition, Evonik acquired complementary technologies, such as Boehringer Ingelheim’s RESOMER platform, to improve its capability in this market.
Similarly, in 2019, WuXi Biologics announced the launch of WuXi Vaccines, a joint venture with Shanghai Hile Bio-Technology Co., Ltd. The companies entered into the strategic partnership under which WuXi Vaccines will build a dedicated facility and supply a commercial product for the global market. The biopharmaceutical industry has witnessed the emergence of a new class of therapeutics, showing significant potential in new treatments in oncology, diabetes, and other disease areas.
Opportunity: Self-administration and home care
Self-administration and home care are expected to provide significant growth opportunities for players operating in the pharmaceutical drug delivery market. This is mainly due to the rising geriatric population, as elderly individuals form a large consumer base for drug delivery devices for home care. This factor is also increasing the need for application-specific injection, inhalation, topical, and transdermal drug products that are designed to cater to the needs of caregivers and patients.
Challenge : Pricing pressure
Government bodies in both developed and developing countries are encouraging cost-saving measures, such as cutting drug reimbursement prices and promoting the greater use of generics. Drug manufacturers across the globe are facing significant cost reduction pressures from government bodies, insurers, and patients. This downward pricing pressure is resulting in the greater uptake of drugs in emerging markets where the demand for low-cost therapeutics is high.
However, this is affecting the profitability of several pharmaceutical companies. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years owing to the continuous pressure for reducing pharmaceutical prices by insurers, pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), and public and private payers due to concerns about covering more new medicines to treat prevalent conditions, such as high cholesterol and diabetes.
North America will dominate the pharmaceutical drug delivery market from 2021–2026
Geographically, the global pharmaceutical drug delivery market is segmented into North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America accounted for the largest share of the pharmaceutical drug delivery market in 2020. The high share of the North American market is attributed to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, respiratory allergies, and diabetes; increasing patient compliance to innovative drug delivery technologies; and the presence of a large number of prominent players in this region.
