The global drug device combination products market size reached US$ 155.3 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 284.9 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7% during 2024-2032. Technological advancements in drug delivery systems, rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing geriatric population, surging demand for personalized medicine, strategic collaborations by key players, expanding healthcare expenditure, preference for minimally invasive procedures, and expanding product applications in diverse therapeutic areas are some of the factors supporting the market growth.
Technological Advancements in Drug Delivery Systems
New drug delivery systems, including auto-injectors, inhalers, and infusion pumps, are transforming the way healthcare is administered, making it more precise, convenient, and effective. Precise and targeted drug delivery allows patients to achieve the desired therapeutic effect with a minimal likelihood of suffering from adverse drug reactions. For example, using auto-injectors has significantly changed the way patients take medication daily by allowing users to administer it themselves in a comfortable and easy way. This drug delivery system assists with treatment compliance and hospitalization costs cutting. Sophisticated inhalers for respiratory problems, such as those equipped with a dose counter or digital sensors, provide feedback and monitoring, giving patients the power to manage drug administration independently.
Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases
The burgeoning prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders (CVDs), diabetes, and cancer, is one of the primary factors that have surged the demand for customized and innovative drug device combination products for complex therapeutic needs. Based on the National Institute of Health (NIH), chronic conditions accounted for 74% of all deaths in 2019; a substantial rise on 67% of deaths in 2010. Mortality data illustrate high prevalence's of chronic conditions among populations. In Australia, for example, Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reports 47% of Australians have at least one chronic disease with 20% bearing 2 or more.
Rising Geriatric Population and Demand for Personalized Medicine
The growing number of geriatric people worldwide and extended human life expectancy will make it challenging to deal with gerontology allowing for the need for medicine implemented and remedy methods, which is further supporting the drug device combination products market. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1 of 6 individuals will be aged 60 and above by 2030; at that point, the total number will reach 1.4 billion. By 2050, the number of people in that age category will be 2.1 billion, while the group aged 80 and even older will climb to 426 million, which is three times more in comparison to 2020.
IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on product, application, and end user.
Transdermal patches represents the leading market segment
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the product. This includes drug eluting stents, transdermal patches, infusion pumps, drug eluting balloon, inhalers, and others. According to the report, transdermal patches represented the largest segment.
The transdermal patches segment is driven by the increasing demand for non-invasive drug delivery methods that offer convenience, pain reduction, and improved patient compliance. With an emphasis on patient-centric healthcare solutions, transdermal patches provide a viable alternative to traditional oral medications and injections, particularly for individuals with needle phobia or difficulty swallowing pills. Additionally, the segment is propelled by advancements in patch technology, including the development of novel adhesive formulations and permeation enhancers, which enhance drug absorption through the skin, leading to more efficient and consistent drug delivery. Moreover, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and pain-related conditions, drives the demand for transdermal patches as they offer sustained release formulations that ensure continuous therapeutic levels of medication over an extended period, reducing the frequency of dosing and minimizing fluctuations in drug concentration in the bloodstream.
Respiratory diseases represents the leading market segment
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the application. This includes cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer treatment, respiratory diseases, and others. According to the report, respiratory diseases represented the largest segment.
The respiratory diseases segment is driven by the increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders globally, exacerbated by factors such as air pollution, smoking, and aging populations. Moreover, lifestyle changes, including sedentary habits and poor dietary choices, contribute to the rising incidence of respiratory ailments such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and respiratory infections. Additionally, urbanization and industrialization lead to heightened exposure to environmental pollutants, allergens, and occupational hazards, further escalating the burden of respiratory diseases. Furthermore, the growing awareness about the adverse health effects of indoor and outdoor air pollution drives demand for respiratory therapies and preventive measures, fostering market growth. Moreover, advancements in diagnostic techniques, including imaging modalities and biomarker assays, enable early detection and intervention for respiratory conditions, driving market expansion through improved patient outcomes and treatment efficacy.
Hospitals represents the leading market segment
The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the end user. This includes e- hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. According to the report, hospitals represented the largest segment.
The hospitals segment is driven by the increasing demand for advanced medical devices and technologies to enhance patient care, optimize clinical outcomes, and improve operational efficiency. Hospitals are investing in state-of-the-art equipment such as imaging systems, surgical robots, and patient monitoring devices to meet the growing healthcare needs of their patient populations. Additionally, the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) and health information systems is on the rise, driven by the need for integrated data management solutions that streamline workflows, facilitate informed decision-making, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Furthermore, hospitals are prioritizing investments in infection control and patient safety measures, spurred by the ongoing challenges posed by healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the need to mitigate risks in clinical environments. This includes the implementation of advanced disinfection technologies, antimicrobial surfaces, and real-time monitoring systems to prevent the spread of infections and safeguard patient well-being.
North America leads the market, accounting for the largest drug device combination products market share
The report has also provided a comprehensive analysis of all the major regional markets, which include North America (the United States and Canada); Europe (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Russia, and others); Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, and others); Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, and others); and the Middle East and Africa. According to the report, North America represents the largest regional market for drug device combination products.
The North American region is driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, CVDs, and cancer. With a growing aging population and sedentary lifestyles contributing to the rise in chronic conditions, there's a heightened demand for innovative treatment solutions. This trend fuels the adoption of drug device combination products that offer enhanced efficacy and convenience in managing these complex health issues.
