Technological Advancements Driving Market Growth

Published: Jun 2025

Pharmaceutical drug delivery system market was valued at $1,932.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $3,687.3 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2025 to 2035. Factors such as technological advancements such as Smart Drug Delivery Systems (SDDS) propel the growth of the market. SDDS is emerging as a therapeutic approach, turning into a conventional model to deliver drugs to specific sites or targets. The goal of SDDS is to administrate the drugs at the correct time with an exact dose in the body and with efficiency and specificity to the targeted cells that help the patients better adhere to their therapy regimen. Smart drug delivery devices can greatly enhance therapy and improve the patient’s quality of life through ease of use at home. Companies such as ITK Engineering GmbH support the Swiss company Sonceboz in software development for a drug delivery device. The on-body device can be used to inject larger volumes of liquid drugs subcutaneously.

nanotechnology drug delivery systems

Additionally, nanotechnology drug delivery systems have been widely used in various fields such as the food industry, biosensors, catalysts, and gene transfer. Drug-loaded nanoparticles can beneficially enhance therapeutic efficacy by enhancing the bioavailability of the drug. Controlled release preparations based on nanoparticles provide a higher penetration of the drug into the cellular construct, resulting in the slow and controlled release of the drug to the target site.
