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.

Recent Developments:

In July 2021, Johnson & Johnson received FDA approval for DARZALEX (daratumumab), a subcutaneous formulation that reduces the treatment time for multiple myeloma indications.

In December 2020, Pfizer, Inc. received FDA approval for BRAFTOVI (encorafenib) plus combination with cetuximab for the treatment of patients with brafv600e-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) who have undergone prior therapy.

In November 2020, GlaxoSmithKline plc partnered with IDEAYA to enter the field of Synthetic Lethality, an emerging field in oncology; programs MAT2A, Pol Theta, and Werner Helicase programs, which are part of it, are projected to reach clinical trials in the next three years.
