Nasal drug delivery is one of the most preferred drug delivery routes among patients as well as healthcare providers. This can majorly be attributed to the noninvasive nature of this route of delivery and greater drug absorbability through the nasal route. In addition, the nasal route offers a less hostile environment for drugs compared to the gastrointestinal route, thereby enabling better absorption of the drug. The easy administration of these drugs plays a crucial role in improving the compliance to drug therapies among patients, which in turn drives patient outcomes. Considering these factors, the preference for nasal drug delivery is increasing among patients as well as healthcare providers. Being highly vascular, nasal cavity enhances the drug absorption resulting in rapid action. The World Health Organization (WHO) has specific guidelines for manufacturers, which outlines all necessary requirements for the adoption of new nasal delivery devices with a single-use delivery system. Thus, nasal drug delivery, unlike other routes of drug delivery, does not require stringent sterile methods for administering drugs into the body. Thus, the high preference for nasal drug delivery among patients and health care providers, due to the growing awareness regarding its benefits, is driving the market growth.
Market Overview
According to The Insight Partners, the global Nasal Delivery Devices Market was valued at US$ 58.50 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 95.68 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 6.4% during 2020–2027.
