Drug Delivery Markets Vol III Pulmonary Delivery Systems

The lungs are considered by many to be the best alternative for drugs needing to bypass the gastrointestinal tract. With advancing technology, the practice of utilizing the huge surface area of the lungs to delivery drugs into the blood circulation has been slowly transforming into reality.

The pulmonary drug delivery market reached $25.5 billion in 2006 and is expected to experience high steady growth in the next five years. Contributing to growth are new technologies such as dry powder inhalers and new product offerings that require advanced drug delivery. Pulmonary drug delivery offers the potential for noninvasive administration of a wide variety of macromolecules. Nearly every biotherapeutic product that treats chronic or long-term illness would benefit from noninvasive delivery by providing a competitive advantage with current therapeutics. This advantage could expand the market for each product or enable new indications to be considered.
