Nasal drug delivery technology involves administering pharmaceuticals through the nasal cavity, aiming to rapidly achieve therapeutic drug levels in the bloodstream and potentially enable direct drug delivery to the brain via olfactory neurons. This method bypasses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and undergoes minimal processing in the liver and intestines.
Key dosage forms for this technology include nasal spray, nasal drops, nasal gels, ointments, powders, and others. Nasal spray devices expel numerous tiny liquid drops to cleanse the nose or deliver medication to the body. They are available in pressurized and non-pressurized containers and are applied across diverse uses such as allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, nasal congestion, asthma, vaccination, and more. These products are accessible through various distribution channels such as hospital pharmacies, retail outlets, and online pharmacies, and are utilized by end-users including home care settings and hospitals.
Tariffs are influencing the nasal drug delivery technology market by increasing costs of imported pharmaceutical-grade polymers, spray devices, metering systems, packaging materials, and precision manufacturing equipment. Pharmaceutical manufacturers in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported delivery components, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs in device exports. These tariffs are increasing production expenses and impacting pricing strategies. However, they are also encouraging localized device manufacturing, regional supplier partnerships, and innovation in cost-efficient nasal delivery platforms.

This nasal drug delivery technology 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 nasal drug delivery technology market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $85.23 billion in 2025 to $92.28 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing prevalence of respiratory and neurological disorders, increased use of non-invasive drug delivery routes, expansion of nasal allergy treatments, availability of simple self-administration devices, rising acceptance of nasal therapeutics.
The nasal drug delivery technology market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $129.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in CNS drug development, rising demand for rapid-onset therapies, expansion of nasal vaccine research, growing adoption of patient-friendly delivery systems, continuous innovation in nasal formulation technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of nasal spray drug formulations, rising focus on brain-targeted drug delivery, growing development of novel nasal drug devices, expansion of vaccine and emergency therapeutic applications, enhanced emphasis on rapid drug absorption.
The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is projected to stimulate growth in the nasal drug delivery technology market. Chronic diseases are defined as health conditions that persist for a year or more and necessitate continuous medical care, potentially limiting daily activities. Nasal drug delivery technologies are utilized to manage chronic rhinosinusitis, enhancing bacterial biofilm management and mucociliary clearance through a therapeutic approach tailored for the intricate structure of the nasal cavity. For example, in April 2025, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that in 2023, around 194 million adults in the United States, representing 76.4% of the adult population, were living with at least one chronic condition, while approximately 130 million adults, or 51.4%, were affected by two or more chronic conditions. As a result, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is fueling the expansion of the nasal drug delivery systems market.
Companies active in nasal drug delivery technologies are increasingly prioritizing collaborative innovation to develop advanced solutions such as nasal powder delivery devices, with a focus on improving accuracy, ease of use, and therapeutic performance, reflecting a broader strategic emphasis on product innovation. Nasal powder delivery devices are specifically engineered to administer powdered formulations through the nasal route, supporting local, systemic, and nose-to-brain drug delivery applications. For instance, in November 2023, Hovione LLC., a Portugal-based pharmaceutical company specializing in contract development and manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug product intermediates, partnered with Industrial Design Consultancy (IDC), a United Kingdom-based product design and development firm, to create a next-generation nasal powder delivery device platform. The collaboration aims to accelerate the development and commercialization of two new nasal powder devices, including one single-use and one multidose format, intended for local, systemic, and nose-to-brain therapies. These devices are designed to deliver precise and flexible nasal deposition, improve usability and reliability, and simplify drug development and manufacturing by maintaining compatibility with standard capsules and filling equipment. Hovione will offer these devices exclusively as part of its integrated nasal drug development and manufacturing solutions.
In October 2024, AptarGroup Inc., a United States-based global provider of drug delivery systems, completed the acquisition of the device-technology assets of SipNose LTD. Nasal Delivery Systems for an undisclosed consideration. This acquisition is intended to expand Aptar's capabilities in intranasal and central nervous system drug delivery by incorporating SipNose's proprietary platforms developed for local, systemic, and nose-to-brain administration. SipNose LTD. is an Israel-based company specializing in targeted intranasal drug delivery technologies, and its assets are expected to strengthen Aptar's innovation pipeline and competitive positioning in advanced nasal drug delivery solutions.
