Americas Influencing Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems Market
Introduction to TDDS:
The human skin is the largest
organ of the human body. The skin covers a surface of nearly two square meters
and receives nearly one-third of the blood in the body. Delivering drugs to the
body through the skin has proved to be one of the most effective means of drug
delivery besides oral delivery of drugs and therefore has received greater
attention from the pharmaceutical industry due to increasing demand for controlled
drug delivery. Skin is one of the most readily accessible organs of the human
body. There is considerable interest in the skin as a site of drug application
both for local and systemic effect, a factor that has added considerable
interest to the transdermal drug delivery systems market.
The global Transdermal
Drug Delivery Systems Market is expected to register a healthy
CAGR over the forecast period. The market held a market value of USD 5,400.2
Million in 2017 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% during
the forecast period from 2018 to 2023.
Furthermore, the increasing
occurrence of needle-stick injuries and growing uses of biologics are driving
market growth. Substantial investments drawn in the R&D to develop advanced
TDD systems are boosting the growth of the market, significantly. Additionally,
spreading awareness, improving outcomes & patients’ experience, and beneficial
reimbursement policies impact the market growth, positively for the transdermal
drug delivery systems market which amassed nearly USD 5,400.2 million in 2017.
Benefits of TDDS:
The transdermal drug delivery
systems market has been expanding due to various advantages of transdermal
delivery circumventing the liver which can often prematurely metabolize drugs.
Unlike hypodermic injections, transdermal deliveries are not painful, do not generate
dangerous medical waste and are great for avoiding the risk of disease
transmission by needle re-use which often a considerable risk factor in
countries with impoverished healthcare facilities. Transdermal systems are
non-invasive and can be self-administered, can provide release for long periods
and have been known to improve patient compliance being generally inexpensive.
The limited number of drug
available that can be transdermally administered is possibly one of the greatest
challenges for the transdermal drug delivery systems market. This is because current
delivery methods can only enable transdermal drugs that have molecular masses only
up to a few hundred Daltons and require doses of milligrams per day or less.
Therefore, transdermal delivery of peptides and macromolecules, hydrophilic
drugs and novel genetic treatment that employ the use of DNA or
small-interfering RNA are yet to be delivered through transdermal methods.
Increasing investment in the transdermal drug delivery systems industry and
tireless R&D that are aimed at enhancement of the
Regional Analysis:
North America dominates the
global transdermal (percutaneous) drug delivery systems market with the largest
market share. Factors such as the presence of major market players and
developed healthcare infrastructure drive the growth of the regional market.
Moreover, surging numbers of research activities related to transdermal drug
delivery systems and comparatively higher adoption of TDD systems in the US and
Canada impact the regional market growth, positively.
Besides, the highest GDP helps
North America to have the edge over other regions in terms of every aspect,
including healthcare and technology. Additionally, huge patient pool suffering
from chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases alongside the presence of
geriatric population and development in medical technology is supporting the
growth of the market. The US, backed by the high per capita healthcare
expenditures, contributes to the growth of the regional market, significantly.
Europe takes the second-leading
position in the global transdermal drug delivery systems market. The phenomenal
growth in the pharmaceutical industry and the presence of pharma giant
companies such as Novartis International AG, Mylan N.V., Boehringer Ingelheim
International GmbH, and Allergan plc., bolster the regional market growth. The
resurging economy is playing a vital role in market development, allowing the
proliferation of the healthcare sector in the region.
Germany, heading with its
flourishing medical devices markets, hugely contributes to the growth of the
regional market. Furthermore, the UK and France with the increasing investment
in transdermal drug delivery systems drive the regional market at a large
scale. The Europe TDDS market is estimated to register a phenomenal CAGR during
the review period.
