Controlled Release Drug Delivery Market Analysis

The Controlled Release Drug Delivery Market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.60% during the forecast period.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is anticipated to boost the demand for controlled-release drug delivery technology as it maximizes the efficacy of the therapeutic and minimizes the side effects, which adds to the market's growth.

The rising incidence of chronic diseases is expected to boost the demand for controlled-release drug delivery technology. This technology offers several advantages, including improved patient compliance, reduced dosing frequency, and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer continue to increase, and the need for advanced drug delivery systems becomes more critical. Consequently, the controlled-release drug delivery technology market is anticipated to grow during the forecast period. For instance, according to the data updated by the Spanish Network of Cancer Registries (REDECAN) in January 2023, an estimated 279,260 new cases of cancer were expected to occur in Spain by the end of 2023, out of which 42,721 new cases of colorectal cancer, 31,282 cases of lung cancer, and 21,694 cases of urinary bladder cancer were expected to occur in Spain in 2023. Thus, the high burden of chronic diseases that require control release formulation to the target cell is anticipated to boost the market's growth during the forecast period.

Additionally, according to June 2024 statistics published by the Australian Institutes of Health and Welfare, there were 53,000 hospitalizations with a principal diagnosis of COPD for people aged 45 and above (500 hospitalizations per 100,000 population) in 2022. Additionally, according to the December 2023 article published by Jama Network, by 2050, the global prevalence of COPD is forecasted to reach nearly 600 million cases, indicating a 23% increase from the 2020 figures. The high burden of COPD worldwide boosts the demand for controlled-release drugs that can be used in various types of inhalers, which are projected to augment the market's growth during the forecast period.

Furthermore, the strategic initiatives by market players for innovation and launches in existing products also contribute significantly to market growth. For instance, in February 2022, AstraZeneca launched the Ambition Zero Carbon Program in partnership with Honeywell to develop next-generation respiratory inhalers. Under the partnership, the companies will eliminate the propellent that was earlier used in metered dose inhalers for patients with asthma and COPD. Therefore, the partnership will boost the development of advanced metered dose inhalers, which is further projected to accelerate the market's growth during the forecast period.

Therefore, factors such as the rising prevalence of chronic disease and increasing strategic initiatives by market players are expected to drive the market's growth during the forecast period. However, the higher cost compared to the conventional method is expected to restrain the market's growth during the forecast period.

Controlled Release Drug Delivery Market Trends

The Targeted Delivery Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Market Share in the Market

The targeted delivery segment is poised for growth, driven by the rising demand for targeted drug delivery during the forecast period. This surge is further fueled by the expanding geriatric and pediatric populations. Unlike traditional systems, targeted delivery systems offer a prolonged therapeutic effect, ensuring drugs are released at a predetermined rate directly at the target site.

Targeted drug delivery is effective in various chronic diseases, such as cancer, genetic diseases, and chronic illnesses, and it delivers the drug at the targeted site by facilitating precise and cell-specific drug delivery. For instance, according to the article published in Pharmacological Research in March 2024, nanocarriers can selectively release chemotherapy drugs at tumor sites, reducing harm to healthy tissues in cancer treatment. This targeted approach enhances drug effectiveness and minimizes side effects. Notable examples include Imatinib (Gleevec), a groundbreaking drug in treating chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

Moreover, key manufacturers are ramping up research and development efforts to cater to the surging demand for innovative targeted drug delivery products, propelling the segment's growth. For instance, in March 2022, AstraZeneca unveiled its initiative to craft advanced drug delivery systems. These systems aim for the targeted and controlled release of novel molecules, ensuring they maximize their therapeutic benefits for patients. Given these developments, the segment is poised to command a significant share of the market during the forecast period.

Thus, the growing application of targeted drug delivery in chronic diseases and strategic activities by the market players is expected to contribute to the segment's growth.

Controlled Release Drug Delivery Market: Number of New Cancer Cases (in Thousand), By Type, United States, 2023-2024

North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share in the Market During the Forecast Period

North America is expected to hold a substantial share of the controlled-release drug delivery market owing to a surge in chronic diseases, such as cancer and HIV, and a rise in product launches. The growing burden of several chronic diseases in the region is expected to increase the demand for control release formulation for targeted delivery, thereby boosting the market's growth. For instance, according to the American Cancer Society Cancer Statistics 2024, 2 million new cancer cases are predicted to be diagnosed in the United States in 2024. The high burden of cancer creates an opportunity for market players to develop innovative drugs that boost the utilization of controlled-release drug delivery technologies, which is expected to expand the market's growth.

According to the article by the Canadian Cancer Society, in November 2023, 233.9 thousand people were predicted to be diagnosed with cancer in 2022. Therefore, the high burden of chronic diseases such as cancer and HIV is expected to boost the demand for controlled-release drug delivery devices for effective delivery and treatment, which is expected to accelerate the market's growth.

Research initiatives taken by market players to meet the demand for controlled-release drug delivery are also expected to boost the market's growth in this region. For instance, in June 2022, a research study was conducted at the University of Michigan that demonstrated a new method of drug microencapsulation, allowing several peptide drugs to be slowly released into the body. Such factors expand the utility of transdermal technology of controlled release drug delivery, accelerating the market's growth.

Therefore, owing to the rising burden of chronic diseases and launches by market players, the market is anticipated to boost in this region during the forecast period.
