Introduction

Abstract

Greystone Research Associates is pleased to announce the publication of a new market study. Microneedle Drug Delivery Patches, Syringes & Systems: Devices, Players, 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, healthcare segments and commercial opportunities for microneedle arrays and devices in the delivery of therapeutic drugs. Provider organization business managers, healthcare administrators and investors will also benefit from this study.

Converging Technology that Addresses Unmet Medical Needs

Microneedle technology is attaining commercial viability at a time when drug developers are faced with new challenges as they assess ways to administer new classes of compounds with significant therapeutic potential. The widespread availability of rapid throughput screening is accelerating the discovery of new drugs, a significant number of which are large-molecule therapeutic compounds that cannot tolerate passage through the digestive system, requiring pharmaceutical companies to forego oral formulations and select alternate routes of administration.

Microneedle technology has the potential address the growing trend toward selfadministration by allowing the precise placement of therapeutic agents at prescribed locations below the skin. But before microneedles find widespread use, developers must refine the techniques for large-scale manufacturing and for optimally inserting microneedles into the skin, and advance the design integration of microneedles into commercially viable drug delivery systems.
