The global microneedles for drug delivery market was valued at USD 3.03 billion in 2023. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period of 2024-2032 and attain a market value of USD 5.67 billion in 2032. The market value is impacted by the increasing use of such platforms and ongoing technological advancements in this field. There has been a significant increase in the number of patent applications associated with microneedles for drug delivery, driven by the rising prevalence of chronic illnesses including diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders which makes novel medication delivery methods like microneedles necessary.
The Global Microneedles For Drug Delivery Patent Landscape report includes a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the patents in this growing industry. The key sections captured in the report for microneedles for drug delivery include a thorough examination of the patent portfolios of key players, covering aspects such as the number of patents and types of technologies patented. It includes the latest trends, geographical distribution of patents, top IP player profiles, technological segmentation, and patent valuation. The breakdown of patents by technical segments is provided, giving more clarity on the specific areas of innovation within microneedles for drug delivery technologies.
Microneedles built on a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) are a novel approach to medication administration that improves skin permeability. It causes small pores to open in the skin, which facilitates the passive diffusion of medications to cause dermal microcirculation. This phenomenon facilitates effective medication absorption. MEMS microneedles are tiny needles that typically range in size from microns to millimetres. Typically, they have dimensions of roughly 150–550 µm in length and 50–300 µm in width. Their tip diameter ranges from 1 to 80 µm, allowing them to painlessly penetrate the epidermis layer and reach the dermal tissues. Therefore, such technical innovations are impacting the patent landscape significantly.
Micro-needling for drug delivery is a minimally invasive technique that uses tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin, enabling painless and efficient delivery of drugs, vaccines and therapeutic agents. This method improves the absorption of drugs, reduces pain, and the risk of infection and allows self-administration. There are different types of microneedles, including solid, coated, dissolvable, hollow, and hydrogel-shaped, each suitable for different applications in cosmetics and medicine. They offer a promising alternative to traditional needles, improving patient compliance and improving treatment outcomes.
The application of microneedles for drug delivery continues to evolve, driven by the use in cosmetic treatments such as antiaging and skin rejuvenation procedures. Microneedle-based products are increasingly approved by regulatory authorities, thus facilitating market growth. Microneedles offer a more comfortable and less painful alternative to traditional hypodermic needles that improves patient compliance which is a driving factor to boost market value in the forecast period.
Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases is Expected to Boost the Market Growth
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes , cardiovascular disease and cancer increases the need for effective and efficient drug delivery systems. Microneedles offer a minimally invasive solution that improves patient compliance and ensures consistent drug dosing. This demand is driving innovation and the adoption of microneedling techniques in the management of long-term treatment regimens.
For instance, In November 2021, NanoPass Technologies and Aesthetic Management Partners (AMP) signed an agreement to begin commercialization of NanoPass's MicronJet® 600 aesthetic delivery device in the United States. MicronJet 600 is an intradermal injection device with three 0.6 mm hollow pyramid-shaped microneedles. It was manufactured by NanoPass Technologies using the silicon microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology.
Increasing Demand for Minimally Invasive Techniques is Expected to Propel the Microneedles for Drug Delivery Industry Growth
The demand for minimally invasive procedures derives from patients wanting less painful and more comfortable treatment options. Microneedles meet this need by offering a painless alternative to traditional injections, reducing discomfort, and improving patient compliance. This trend is accelerating the development and adoption of micro needle techniques in various medical and cosmetic applications.
