by Targeted drug delivery plays a vital role in modern medicine by providing a targeted approach of drug administration to specific sites of action in the body. Traditional drug delivery methods lack site specificity and can cause systemic toxicity. Targeted drug delivery aims to minimize this by selectively transporting therapeutic substances to the desired locations in the body using targeted carriers like nanoparticles, liposomes, monoclonal antibodies. These targeted carriers bind, transport, and gradually release the drug at the targeted site while preventing effects on healthy tissues, thereby enhancing the efficacy of pharmaceuticals and reducing side effects.
The global Targeted Drug Delivery Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 761.95 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 2.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends
Nanotechnology-enabled targeted drug delivery is witnessing significant growth. Nanoparticles are emerging as promising carriers for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to specific sites. Diseases like cancer are especially suitable for treatment through targeted delivery of drugs conjugated to nanoparticles. For instance, Abraxane by Abraxis uses nanotechnology based approach for targeted delivery of paclitaxel to treat breast cancer. Growing R&D in the area of nanomedicine and nanoparticle based drug delivery is expected to boost the targeted drug delivery market during the forecast period.
Porter’s Analysis
