"Lyophilized Drugs, Reconstitution Devices, and Injection Markets: Therapeutics, Strategies and Forecasts" is a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of the technology, products and participants providing the driving force behind this evolving segment of the healthcare sector. The study is designed to provide drug company decision makers, drug delivery developers, device designers, healthcare marketers, and supply chain participants with a detailed understanding of the economics, technologies, disease segments, and commercial opportunities for lyophilized injectable drugs. Provider organization business managers, healthcare administrators and investors will also benefit from this study.
The number of drugs supplied in lyophilized form has been growing at an increased rate over the past several years, mirroring the increase in the introduction of biological drugs. Liquid drugs that require refrigeration until dispensed - a requirement referred to as the 'Cold Chain' - can be formulated as powders to avoid the cost and logistics of cold storage. A number of factors are at play that are likely to influence the future demand picture for lyophilized drugs. Perhaps the most important is the underlying dynamics of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology marketplace as they apply to drug formulation and end user requirements.
