The Global Implantable Drug Delivery Devices Market, by Product Type (Drug Infusion Pumps, Intraocular Drug Delivery Devices, Contraceptive Drug Delivery Devices, and Stents) by Technology (Biodegradable Implants and Non-biodegradable Implants), by Application (Ophthalmology, Cardiovascular, Birth Control/Contraception, and Others), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa), is estimated to be valued at US$ 12,015.2 million in 2020 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.7% over the forecast period (2020 – 2027).
Implantable Drug Delivery Devices Market – Impact of Coronavirus (COVID – 19) Pandemic
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on April 3, 2020, the patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases, diabetic retinopathy, and old age are at higher risk of being affected by the coronavirus infection. For such patients, implantable drug delivery devices will be one of the best options, as it will not be exposed to the outside environment as well as due to long term drug delivery, the patients will have less hospital visits, thus reducing the risk of coronavirus infection. Thus, COVID – 19 pandemic is expected to boost the global implantable drug delivery devices market growth over the forecast period.
Companies are engaged in research and development activities for manufacturing new products, which is expected to boost the global implantable drug delivery devices market growth over the forecast period. For instance, on May 26, 2020, Genentech, Inc., a subsidiary of F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, announced positive results of the phase III study for the Port Delivery System with ranibizumab. Port Delivery System with ranibizumab is a permanently refillable eye implant and is used for the treatment of patients suffering from neovascular or age-related macular degeneration.
Increasing product launches is expected to spur the global implantable drug delivery devices market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in 2016, OrbusNeich launched a dual therapy stent, Combo Plus, which has an antibody biological coating that captures endothelial progenitor cells. This initiates the formation of an endothelial layer while a coating of bioabsorbable polymer elutes sirolimus to inhibit neointimal hyperplasia. This dual stent promotes vessel healing in patients with complex coronary artery disease.
