Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has just added a report on the growth potential for oral drug delivery to its collection. “Drug Delivery Markets, Vol. 1: Oral Delivery” forecasts the market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10% over the next several years reaching upwards of $52 billion by 2010.
The oral drug delivery market is the largest sector within the total drug delivery arena. It’s made up of both pharmaceuticals utilizing oral delivery technologies as well as the technologies themselves. This study shows 2006 world revenues at the manufacturer’s level exceeding $35 billion for the overall oral drug delivery market with more than $3 billion coming from the delivery technology sector alone.

The largest contributors to the overall market were the controlled/sustained-release segment and the delayed-release segment, but growth continues to be fueled by the introduction of many line extensions in both the controlled-release and fast-dissolving product segments. Broader market issues are also fueling growth.

This comprehensive study includes a detailed market overview with market size and forecasts, profiles of legacy companies within the market as well as new entrants, challenges faced by oral-delivery technology companies, key trends and demographics impacting the global marketplace, and a unique analysis of the value of technology licensing as a portion of the overall modified oral delivery market..
