Nanotechnology Drug Delivery Market Will Grow At Highest Pace Owing To Targeted Drug Delivery

Nanoparticles act as carriers for targeted drug delivery by encapsulating or entrapping drug molecules and releasing them in a sustained or controlled manner at the targeted site of action. This approach allows for controlled manipulation of properties like solubility, biodistribution, pharmacokinetics, and safety of drug molecules. The use of nanocarriers helps in overcoming issues like poor solubility, stability, bioavailability, and premature metabolism of drug payloads. Nanotechnology-based drug delivery offers benefits like enhanced therapeutic efficacy, controlled rate and site-specific release of drugs, reduction in dosing frequency and side effects.

The Global nanotechnology drug delivery market is estimated to be valued at US$ 203.21 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 11% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.

Impact of COVID-19 on Nanotechnology Drug Delivery Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the nanotechnology drug delivery market. During the initial outbreak, research and development activities were halted as resources were diverted towards developing vaccines and treatments for COVID-19. This led to delays in clinical trials for various nanomedicine applications. However, post the first wave, research has regained momentum as nanotechnology shows promise in developing antiviral strategies against SARS-CoV-2. Various nanocarriers are being investigated for efficient delivery of antiviral drugs and immune system stimulators to combat COVID-19. Some key areas where nanotechnology is playing a role include development of nanomedicines for drug repurposing, nano-based diagnostic techniques and nanoparticle incorporated face masks. Overall, while the pandemic stalled short term growth initially, nanotechnology is now poised to make significant contributions in antiviral strategies, boosting the long term prospects of this market.

North America has the highest concentration of nanotechnology drug delivery market in terms of value currently. The region accounted for over 40% share of the global market revenue in 2024 due to presence of advanced healthcare infrastructure and huge investments in research & development activities. The Asia Pacific region is projected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period from 2024 to 2031. This is attributed to rising healthcare expenditure, growing demand for advanced treatment options and increasing collaborations between regional and international players. Countries like China, India and South Korea are anticipated to be the major drivers of nanotechnology drug delivery market growth in Asia Pacific.
