(Amherst, NH) – The past decade has seen a dramatic shift in terms of the types of approved injectable drugs, the diseases they target, and the devices used to deliver them. This shift has been driven by changes at the technology, regulatory, and therapeutic levels, and resulted in an ongoing set of challenges and opportunities for market participants that has modified the dynamics of injectable drug development, created new business models and re-arranged supply chain relationships.
The injectable drug segment has seen a marked increase in the level of drug/device integration, as prefilled syringes and specialized injection devices proliferate in response to the safety and economic challenges posed by recombinant protein drugs, while administration of injectables has moved increasingly from practitioner offices and healthcare facilities to patient homes. As patients live longer and are diagnosed with chronic and often debilitating ailments, the result will be a dramatic increase in self-administration of drug therapies in non-traditional settings for a number of conditions. This trend is creating an increased interest in drug device design and packaging that is patient-friendly as well as cost-effective.
More information on the growth prospects and shifting market opportunities for injectable drugs can be found in a comprehensive report, researched and prepared by Greystone Associates. Injectable Drug Delivery: Drugs, Devices, Targets, Therapeutics and Forecasts examines the key therapeutic, product, market and regulatory factors for injectable drugs across ten major disease and therapeutic classes, providing essential insight on the implications of recent developments on this evolving landscape.
