Connected drug delivery devices are advanced pharmaceutical tools that employ digital technology to monitor, regulate, and oversee the dispensing of medications, thereby improving adherence and patient outcomes. These devices are capable of internet connectivity, enabling data exchange between patients and healthcare providers to monitor medication usage, adjust dosages, and enhance treatment strategies.
The primary categories of connected drug delivery devices encompass standalone components, software, and integrated devices. Standalone components and software denote software or hardware capable of functioning independently or separately from a medical device that generates or utilizes it. They leverage various technologies such as Bluetooth, near-field communication (NFC), and others. These devices cater to a range of routes of administration including parenteral and inhalational methods, and find applications in conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes management, among others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the pharmaceutical sector. Companies are grappling with higher costs on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), glass vials, and laboratory equipment-many of which have limited alternative sources. Generic drug manufacturers, already operating with minimal profit margins, are particularly affected, with some scaling back production of low-margin medications. Biotech firms are also experiencing delays in clinical trials due to shortages of specialized reagents linked to tariffs. In response, the industry is shifting API production to regions like India and Europe, building up inventory reserves, and advocating for tariff exemptions on essential medicines.
The connected drug delivery devices market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides connected drug delivery devices market statistics, including connected drug delivery devices industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a connected drug delivery devices market share, detailed connected drug delivery devices market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the connected drug delivery devices industry. This connected drug delivery devices market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The connected drug delivery devices market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $7.48 billion in 2024 to $9.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased awareness of connected devices, increased importance of remote monitoring for medication adherence, increased patient engagement, widespread consumer adoption, the rapidly increasing cost of medical management.
The connected drug delivery devices market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.81 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising patient awareness about adherence to prescribed therapies, rapidly moving healthcare it infrastructure, increasing emphasis on preventive care, widespread adoption of connected devices in laboratories and hospitals for maintaining electronic health records (EHR). Major trends in the forecast period include increasing R&D activities, surge in technological innovation and the increasing connectivity of devices, soaring adoption of machine learning and artificial intelligence, rising implementation of telehealth platform integrated with AR/VR technologies, increasing adoption of electronic technology in healthcare devices.
The forecast of 23.9% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may pose a significant challenge for chronic disease management by increasing costs of smart insulin pens and inhalers sourced from Sweden and Finland, potentially reducing treatment adherence monitoring and raising digital health technology costs. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growth of the connected drug delivery device market is anticipated to be propelled by the increasing significance of remote patient monitoring (RPM). Remote patient monitoring is a healthcare delivery method utilizing technology to monitor patient health and medical data from a distance. Connected drug delivery devices play a crucial role in enhancing RPM by enabling precise tracking of medication usage and adherence, facilitating timely interventions, and offering personalized care management. For example, a survey conducted by Vivalink Inc., a US-based digital health solutions provider, in August 2023, revealed a significant increase of 305% in clinicians utilizing RPM on patients, rising from 20% in 2021 to 81% presently, with 84% of these users planning to expand their RPM usage in 2024. Consequently, the growing importance of remote patient monitoring is propelling the growth of the connected drug delivery device market.
Major players in the connected drug delivery devices market are concentrating on developing innovative technologies, such as digital respiratory health solutions, to enhance their market profitability. Digital respiratory health solutions for connected drug delivery devices encompass technology-enabled devices facilitating medication delivery to the respiratory system while monitoring usage and health data to improve patient outcomes. For instance, in February 2022, AptarGroup Inc., a US-based manufacturer of dispensing packaging and drug delivery devices, introduced HeroTracker Sense. This innovative digital tool transforms traditional metered-dose inhalers into smart, connected devices, enhancing medication adherence and management for individuals with chronic respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD. It incorporates features such as sensors for analytics and insights, supporting patient adherence monitoring via the BreatheSmart app, thereby aiding in the effective management of respiratory diseases.
In May 2022, Halozyme Therapeutics Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, acquired Antares Pharma Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is expected to bolster Halozyme's strategy, solidify its position as a top drug delivery firm, and expand its coverage of specialized products with its best-in-class auto-injector technology and specialty commercial business. Antares Pharma Inc. is a US-based specialty pharmaceutical company operating in the connected drug delivery sector.
