The global controlled release drug delivery market size projected to register around USD 91.2 billion by 2026, this market is anticipated to grow with 14.3% CAGR during the forecast time period. The market is driven by increasing technology spending in healthcare sector.

Market Dynamics

Soaring demand for pediatric and geriatric controlled release delivery methods and substitute therapies and increasing consciousness about advantages of these systems over conventional forms are providing a fillip to the controlled release drug delivery market market.

These technologies deliver numerous advantages over old-style delivery forms. Uniform drug effect, reduced dosage and less gastrointestinal side effects, dosage frequency, enhanced patient compliance, improved drug efficacy & safety, and reduced fluctuation of plasma drug levels are some of the advantages delivered by these technologies.

Market Insights

Controlled release drug delivery systems permit reduction in quantity of dose and dose frequency, increased patient compliance and acceptance, less fluctuation in plasma drug levels, uniform drug result, and improved effectualness quantitative relation of administered therapeutic. as compared to traditional delivery, these systems accomplish a chronic therapeutic result, increase foregone conclusion in drug unleash dynamics, and produce concerning delivery at a pre-determined rate regionally or consistently. Thus, with many more blessings offered by these systems, their adoption is slated to extend at a motivating rate over the approaching years.
