Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Microneedle Drug Delivery Systems Market size was over USD 812.47 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2030.5 million by 2037, growing at around 7.3% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of microneedle drug delivery systems is assessed at USD 859.92 million.

The market is estimated to grow on the back of the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Over the past ten years, there has also been an increase in other lifestyle-related illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease, chronic kidney disease, and chronic lung disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, four out of ten people in the US have two or more chronic diseases, and six out of ten adults in the country have at least one. Furthermore, according to statistics, in 2021, around 530 million adults aged 20-79 have been diagnosed with diabetes globally, a figure projected to rise to 640 million by 2030 and 780 million by the end of 2040.

Additionally, the non-invasive method of microneedle patch immunization has been thoroughly researched. The World Health Organization has ranked vaccine reluctance as one of the top ten hazards to global health. According to a recent study conducted in October 2020, 53.1% of the people under that study chose not to get vaccinated or were unsure if they should get vaccinated. Fear of needles, pain and side effects are the usual causes of vaccine reluctance. The market is anticipated to expand owing to the rising demand for microneedle patches that don't require needles or the effect of pain associated with it.

Microneedle Drug Delivery Systems Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growth of the Healthcare Industry – Microneedle drug delivery systems offer various advantages compared to conventional hypodermic injections such as enhanced efficacy, self-administration, and quick onset of action. The increasing research and development by large firms and business organizations in microneedles to improve their stability is estimated to fuel the growth of the microneedle drug delivery systems market in the coming years. According to statistics, the United States healthcare industry was valued at around USD 800 billion in 2021.
  • Rising Cases of Cancer – According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 1,752,735 new cancer cases were diagnosed in the United States in 2019 and approximately 599,589 people died of cancer.
  • Increased Research and Development Expenditure – According to the World Bank data, the worldwide research and development expenditure as a ratio to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was around 2.33% in 2019, which increased to 2.63% in 2020.
  • Increasing Rate of Obesity in Population – According to the most recent data, the obesity rate among citizens of the United States was about 40% in 2020.
  • Growth in Prevalence of Neurological Disorders – According to estimates, around 21 million people suffer from neurological problems, of which about 13 million globally require surgery every year.

Challenges

  • Concerns Associated with the System - Drug degradation, poor absorption, and local discomfort are some of the major concerns associated with the microneedle drug delivery systems. Further, both coated and hollow microneedles possess the risk that the drug will not properly enter the skin and will not be effective. Some of the material used to construct the microneedles cannot be absorbed by the body and any fragments of the needles may irritate.
  • Dearth of Skilled Professionals
  • High Cost of Research and Development in Microneedle Drug Delivery Systems
