by Transdermal skin patches are medicated adhesive patches that are placed on the skin to deliver a particular dose of medication through the skin and into the bloodstream. They provide several advantages over oral and injectable drug forms, including controlled drug release, non-invasiveness, painlessness and ease of use. With growing preference for painless drug delivery and increasing applications to treat conditions like motion sickness, hypertension and symptoms of menopause, the demand for transdermal skin patches is set to rise substantially.
The global Transdermal Skin Patches Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 9773.27 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 23% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
