Implantable drug delivery segment will undergo the fastest growth during the forecast period. Specific site drug administration, reduction in burden of patient compliance and advantage of sustained drug release are the prime factors that drive the growth of this segment.

In terms of geographic distribution, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America cumulatively make the global drug delivery technologies market. 

North America and Europe together capture over 60% of the global drug delivery technologies market revenue. Adoption of novel non-oral drug administration modes such as transdermal, implantable and pulmonary drug delivery is rapid and on a large scale in North America. Products such as dry powder inhalers, pen injectors for seasonal allergies, orodispersable tablets and other control release products are in high demand in the developed markets. Use of implantable devices such as drug eluting stents is increasingly used in treating chronic illnesses and for contraception.

Moreover, major players in the developing drug delivery technologies are primarily domiciled in Europe and U.S., thus giving the regions an early bird advantage in terms of rapid product adoption. High level of awareness among both care givers and patients also significantly contributes to the above trend. Intense competition among drug manufacturers and growing trend of outsourcing of manufacturing process has made this market fragmented, with numerous players coming up with newer drug delivery formulations technologies. This report also studies the global drug delivery technologies market based on major national and regional level.
