Drug Delivery Technologies Market, By Route of Administration (Oral, Parenteral (Intramuscular, Intravenous, Intra-Arterial, and Subcutaneous), Nasal Drug Delivery, Ocular Drug Delivery, and Topical/Transdermal), By Therapeutic Area (Oncology, Cardiology,

Global drug delivery technologies market is estimated to be valued at USD 49.79 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 116.49 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9% from 2025 to 2032. Drug delivery refers to approaches, formulations, technologies, and systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body as needed to safely achieve its desired therapeutic effect. Various drug delivery technologies have been developed to improve efficacy and safety of drug molecules by protecting them from degradation and controlling their release rates. Advancements in areas such as immunotherapy, gene therapy, and precision medicine have fueled the demand for more effective drug delivery methods. The market has witnessed innovation of novel drug carrier systems such as liposomes, microspheres, nanocarriers, and other that can efficiently deliver drugs to targeted sites in the body. Furthermore, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, growth of biologics market, and increased R&D investments from key players in this field are some of the key factors expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Market Dynamics:

Global drug delivery technologies market is primarily driven by the rising global prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In September 2023, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), chronic diseases accounted for approximately 60% of all reported deaths in the world in 2020. Drug delivery systems help improve the efficacy of pharmaceutical therapies and clinical outcomes of chronic patients. Furthermore, growth of the biologics market has also created opportunities for advanced drug delivery approaches for large molecule biotherapeutics. However, high costs associated with the R&D and manufacturing of novel drug delivery systems may hinder the market growth during the forecast period. Advancements in areas of nanomedicine, injectable drug delivery, and 3D printing offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
