New drug delivery formulations to generate global sales of $2.6 billion by 2020

Sept. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- According to the report “Emerging Drug Delivery Technologies & Strategies: Players, Pipelines & Partnerships” available at http://www.pharmaceutical-market-research.com/publications/drug_delivery/emerging_drug_delivery_technologies_strategies_players_pipelines_partnerships.html pharmaceutical companies are increasingly moving towards drug delivery developers to defeat a range of challenges in getting new medicines and formulations effectively and safely delivered.

This new 188 page report assesses three key emerging sectors in the drug delivery field that will play a crucial role in tackling a range of delivery issues associated with these new classes of drugs in key therapeutic areas such as cancer, CNS, cardiology, respiratory and ophthalmology.

To date more than a dozen products have been approved that utilise some of the first generation lipid-based technologies, pioneered by Elan Pharmaceuticals, Enzon, Gilead Pharmaceuticals, ALZA (acquired by Johnson & Johnson), Skye Pharma, and The Liposome Company (acquired by Elan Pharmaceuticals). These products encompass anaesthetics, antiinfectives and oncology agents and together generate over US$1.85 billion in sales annually.

Intensive research activity is currently being focussed towards more than 75 products in preclinical and clinical development; over half of these products (c.46 products) are to reach the market by 2020 to generate global sales in excess of US$2.6 billion by 2020.
