The rise at the old age population who prefer to use tropical drug delivery as it eases the drug delivery process fuels the market demand. Also, the growing popularity of the non-invasive procedures due to their cost-effectiveness and fast healing among patients is further expected to influence the market growth in the next five years.

The global topical drug delivery market is segmented into product, route of administration, end user, distribution channel, regional distribution, and competitive landscape. Based on product, the market is fragmented into semi-solid formulations, liquid formulations, solid formulations, and transdermal products.
