Introduction

Abstract

Greystone Research Associates is pleased to announce the publication of a new market study. Inhaled Drug Delivery: Devices, Indications, Therapeutics, Markets and Forecasts is a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of the technology, products and participants providing the driving force behind this evolving segment of the healthcare sector.

The study is designed to provide drug company decision makers, drug delivery developers, device designers, healthcare marketers, and supply chain participants with a detailed understanding of the economics, technologies, disease segments, and commercial opportunities for inhaled drug delivery. Provider organization business managers, healthcare administrators and investors will also benefit from this study.

User-friendly Administration for a Diverse and Growing Therapeutic Need

Advances in drug formulation and inhalation device design are creating new opportunities for inhaled drug delivery as an alternative to oral and parenteral delivery methods. Much of the interest in pulmonary delivery of systemic drug therapies is focused on chronic diseases and refractory conditions - aliments that require frequent drug administration for a protracted period of time.

The role of device design and development in defining and driving emerging opportunities in this sector cannot be overstated. Nebulizers, metered dose inhalers (MDIs), and dry powder inhalers (DPIs) have each found a niche in the quest for optimal treatment and convenient use. While nebulizers have evolved relatively independently of the drug formulations they deliver, the current generation of MDIs and DPIs have been developed or tailored for the specific pharmaceutical being delivered, resulting in improved performance.
