Global Oral Transmucosal Drugs Market - 2023-2030

Market Overview

The global oral transmucosal drugs market reached US$ 15,005.2 million in 2022 and is projected to witness lucrative growth by reaching up to US$ 24,441.4 million by 2030. The oral transmucosal drugs market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

Globally, chronic or non-communicable diseases are on the rise and are responsible for 73% of all fatalities. Non-communicable illnesses are to blame for 44% of lost disability-adjusted life years and 53% of all fatalities in India. More than a sixth of the world's people reside in India, which has been experiencing significant socio-economic development and an epidemiological trend towards chronic non-communicable diseases led to the rise in the oral transmucosal drugs market growth.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a surge in the need for alternative routes of administration of drugs for end-of-life and palliative care, particularly in community settings. Transmucosal routes include intranasal, buccal, sublingual and rectal. They are non-invasive routes for systemic drug delivery with the possibility of self-administration, or administration by family caregivers. The factors such as growing cases of autoimmune disorders, technological advancements, and oral drugs market developments are boosting the global oral transmucosal drugs market growth.

Market Dynamics

Increase in the incidence of autoimmune disorders and cancer to boost the market growth

For instance, each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the number of new cancer cases and deaths in the U.S., and compiles the most recent data on population-based cancer occurrence and outcomes. In 2022, 1,918,030 new cancer cases and 609,360 cancer deaths were projected to occur in the U.S., including approximately 350 deaths per day from lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer. Thus, the prevelance of cancer boost the market growth.

Technical challenges of transmucosal drug

Transmucosal drug delivery is preferable to oral and parenteral forms of administration since it is non-invasive and enables self-administration or administration by trained carers. Understanding the mechanism of mucosal drug absorption is crucial in order to find medications that are right for transmucosal administration. The intranasal, oral, and rectal mucosa each have particular morphological and physiological traits, but they also have several things in common.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Due to supply chain disruption, a government-imposed lockdown, manpower shortages, and limitations on manufacturing activities, the COVID-19 pandemic had a short-term detrimental effect on the market for oral transmucosal medications. Oral transmucosal medication producers, on the other hand, are profiting from coronavirus outbreaks by providing reduced first-pass metabolism with a quick onset of action. These qualities make oral transmucosal medications useful for palliative care and end-of-life care to provide quick symptom alleviation. Since some patients' health has a tendency to rapidly decline in some circumstances, it was essential during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict Analysis

The Russia-Ukraine is estimated to have a minimal impact on the global oral transmucosal drugs market, owing to the low prevalence and absence of key market players in this region. However, the impact of the import and export of raw materials is anticipated to have little influence over the global oral transmucosal drugs market over the forecast period.

Artificial Intelligence Impact Analysis

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become more prevalent in a number of societal fields, most notably the pharmaceutical industry. Artificial neural networks (ANNs), information technology, and wireless communication all play a role in the development of smart medication delivery systems that have the potential to overcome the drawbacks of traditional therapeutic approaches. Devices for regulated drug distribution are more versatile, thanks to wireless connections.
