The implantable drug delivery devices market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market for implantable drug delivery devices has seen a robust expansion in the recent years. The market is projected to increase from $20.65 billion in 2024 to $22.11 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%.
This phenomenal growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as an aging population, high occurrence of chronic diseases, increased consumer awareness, growing emphasis on preventive healthcare, and a rising demand for personalized medicine.
The implantable drug delivery devices market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for implantable drug delivery devices is projected to experience substantial growth in the coming years. By 2029, it's expected to reach $31.25 billion, showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%.
The significant growth anticipated within this time frame can be linked to factors such as personalized drug delivery, an upsurge in demand for minimally invasive procedures, increased healthcare spending, the expansion of global healthcare, and the emergence of regenerative and genomic medicine. Key trends during this forecast period are expected to be technological advancements, progress in biotechnology, the introduction of micro-implants, the utilization of AI in dosage adjustments, the integration of telemedicine, the development of advanced bio-compatible materials, and enhancements in drug delivery technology.
Increased incidences of specific illnesses such as diabetic retinopathy, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and other chronic conditions are anticipated to enhance the market demand for implantable drug delivery devices. Notably, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the number of tuberculosis cases elevated from 8,320 in 2022 to 9,615 in 2023, signifying a rise of 1,295 cases or 16% in March 2024. Consequently, the use of implantable drug devices for site-specific medication administration, beneficial in treating these diseases, is bolstering the growth of the implantable drug delivery devices market.
