According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research, the global drug device combination products market was valued at $66 billion in 2012 and is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9 percent from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of $115.1 billion in 2019.
Drug device combination products are therapeutic products that combine a drug and a medical device chemically and/or physically, to be produced as a single product. These products can be designed for local as well as systemic drug delivery. With the advances in medical technology, medical devices have changed their definition to more complex devices which assist in improving the efficiency of drugs in therapeutic treatments. These innovations have also made it difficult for regulatory agencies to classify and provide guidelines for safety and validation of these products. Newer developments in drug device combination products have yielded several products for targeted drug delivery within the body. Clinical trials for drug device combination products are more comprehensive and expensive coupled with complications as compared to those required for individual drug and device.
Growing elderly population combined with rise in risk for cardiovascular diseases, asthma and various other chronic disorders contribute to the growth of this market particularly in the emerging economies of Middle East, India and China. Moreover, technological advances such as biodegradable implants coupled with increase in access and recognition of these technologies in emerging market, will serve as an opportunity for investors to invest in.
The global market for drug device combination products has been studied from the perspective of current widely used various product types. The report provides a detailed analysis of drug eluting stents which are segmented into coronary stents and peripheral vascular stents while the infusion pumps include implantable infusion pumps and ambulatory infusion pumps. Inhalers include metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers and nebulizers. The others segment comprises intraocular implants and drug eluting beads. The market estimations for transdermal patches, orthopedic combination products such as bone graft implants and antibiotic loaded bone cements, wound care combination products and photosensitizers have also been provided in the report for the forecast period 2013-2019.
The overall market for drug device combination products is fragmented owing to number of small players involved in respective product segments. In 2012, transdermal patches accounted for the largest share by revenue at $25.1 billion of the total drug device combination products market. However, due to the product recalls and consequent stringent regulatory approval procedures, the overall market revenue is expected to decline during the forecast period in the United States and Europe. The market for inhalers accounted for the second largest share at over $20 billion in 2012. It is estimated that the global market for inhalers will grow at a CAGR of over 8 percent from 2013 to 2019, owing to its high incidence rates of asthmatic and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
Geographically, North America dominated the global market for drug device combination products in terms of revenue generation and is expected to maintain its position throughout the forecast period. The adoption of drug eluting stents, implants, growing elderly population and rise in incidences of hypertension and obesity in the United States, is expected to contribute to the leadership of the North American market. Europe was the second largest regional market for drug device combination products in 2012, owing to the increased demand for drug eluting stents and infusion pumps.
