According to a new market research report published by MarketsandMarkets, the global injectable drug delivery market, in terms of value, is projected to reach US$624.50 Billion by 2021 from US$362.38 billion in 2016, at a CAGR of 11.5% during the forecast period.
Growth in this market is mainly driven by increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising ageing population, increasing use of biologics, and increasing number of needle stick injuries. On the other hand, growing use of alternative delivery methods, safety concerns, and risk of transmission of blood-borne infections and needle stick injuries may hinder the growth of the market.
The injectable drug delivery is segmented based on type, formulation packaging, therapeutic application, usage pattern, site of administration, distribution channel, facility of use, and regions.
By therapeutic applications, the market is segmented into autoimmune diseases, hormonal disorders, cancer, orphan diseases, and other therapeutic applications (pain management, allergies, hepatitis C, aesthetic treatment, and haemophilia). Cancer segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
“Based on formulation packaging, the market is segmented into the ampules, vials, cartridges, and bottles.”
Formulation packaging
Based on formulation packaging, the market is segmented into the ampules, vials, cartridges, and bottles. Ampules are expected to dominate the Injectable drug delivery market. The large share of this market segment can be attributed majorly due to its good barrier properties as compared to other types of packaging; moreover, they offer better protection at a lower cost. Ease of transportation and low cost of manufacturing are the factors driving the growth in this segment.
