Market Dynamics

Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Drives the Global Market

Since the turn of the century, chronic diseases have been a global concern. The target population for these chronic diseases necessitates more advanced drug administration options to mitigate the adverse effects of conventional drug delivery methods. Drug delivery devices are intended to reduce side effects by optimizing drug presence at the target site, thereby reducing dosage and associated side effects.

The prevalence of chronic diseases, like cancers and cardiovascular diseases, has surged dramatically in recent years. As per statistics from the World Health Organization for 2019, chronic diseases kill more than 41 million people annually worldwide. Increasing cancer incidence increases the demand for drug delivery systems. This will likely contribute significantly to the market's growth during the forecast period.

Technological Advancements Creates Tremendous Opportunities

The technological developments in drug delivery devices are making them more patient-friendly, accessible, and accurate. The market participants invest in R&D, innovative technologies, and advanced drug delivery devices. For instance, in May of 2021, Phillips Medisize launched its Aria Smart Autoinjector platform and achieved differentiation, innovation, and sustainability in the digital drug delivery device market. The device incorporates cutting-edge technologies. It is a modular drug delivery platform that supports different drug formulations and viscosities and has built-in Bluetooth for connecting to smartphones, tablets, and mobile applications.

Regional Analysis

North America is the most significant global drug delivery devices market shareholder and is anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of 7.18% during the forecast period. The market for drug delivery devices in North America is projected to expand significantly throughout the study period due to the rising prevalence of chronic illnesses like cancer and HIV, among others, and the increasing number of product launches and initiatives by key market players. According to the American Cancer Society's report for 2022, approximately 1.9 million new cancer cases are estimated to be diagnosed in the United States in 2022, and cancer cases are projected to increase in the country, which is anticipated to increase the demand for drug delivery devices for various therapeutics due to the high mortality rate associated with cancer in the region.

Introducing new products to the market will also contribute to its growth. For instance, in February 2022, the U.S. FDA approved generic Apokyn (apomorphine hydrochloride injection) drug cartridges for treating hypomobility and other advanced Parkinson's disease symptoms. Similarly, in January 2021, Novartis AG invested in Credence MedSystems to assist in developing and scaling its drug delivery systems. This initiative facilitates Novartis AG's use of the Credence technology in injectable medications.

Europe is estimated to exhibit a CAGR of 7.28% over the forecast period. The drug delivery devices market in Germany is predicted to expand due to factors like the surging prevalence of chronic diseases, product launches, and the expansion of strategic initiatives by key market players. According to the Global Cancer Forecast 2020, there will be 628,519 new cancer cases in the United States in 2020 and 749,559 in 2040. This anticipated increase in cancer cases will drive the market for drug-delivery devices used for chemotherapy.

In addition, strategic government initiatives, such as collaborating with market participants to meet the growing demand for drug delivery devices during COVID-19, have boosted the market and are anticipated to continue to do so throughout the study period. For instance, in July 2020, the UK government awarded Becton, Dickinson, and Company a contract for 65 million needles and syringes to support the UK vaccination effort for COVID-19, positively affecting the market.
