Impact of Nano Materials in Drug Delivery and Human Tissue Engineering

By Gautam Thor, Ph.D.

Unprecedented levels of funding reaching tens of billions of dollars from governments, large corporations and private venture capital during the last decade, has yet to bear the fruits on the ROI. Optimistic predictions have slowly given way to the painful reality that the impact of nanotechnological applications may take one or two decades before anticipated pay offs become apparent. However, a recent analysis of more than 200 commercially available products that use nano-based technological enhancements in the pharmaceutical, medical or healthcare field is reinforcing the notion that "incremental" modifications of existing drugs, drug delivery devices and tissue engineering products enhanced by nano innovations is actually profitable and beginning to harvest revenue.

D&MD's Impact of Nano Materials in Drug Delivery & Human Tissue Engineering market analysis report provides a market driven top down approach that identifies existing products using nano based knowledge to strengthen their capabilities and provides a description of the product's market niche to pinpoint future trends.

Nano engineering and nano science are described to ensure a thorough understanding of the concepts and processes required to satisfy end user requirements with an emphasis on the growing demands. A description of potential markets, improved production and reformulations of existing drugs and next generation tissue engineered materials are also provided. Recent sales figures and financial tendencies with most of the impetus being placed in the advent of novel nano materials are referred to throughout this report.

This publication analyzes and forecasts the existing market place in the context of the "evolutionary" changes used to improve existing healthcare or medical products. The report highlights the nano science and technology involved in their creation as well as what seems to be poised to create "revolutionary" break through in future mid term and long term analyses.
