Novel Drug Delivery System (NDDS) in Cancer Therapy Market - Global Industry Analysis to 2020 for the $15 Billion Market
M2 - Wed Nov 12, 3:22AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ws3rns/ndds_in_cancer) has announced the addition of the "NDDS in Cancer Therapy Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 - 2020" report to their offering. The global market for NDDS in cancer therapy was valued at USD 3,655.3 million in 2013 and is expected to reach USD 15,984.2 million in 2020, growing at a CAGR of 23.7% during the forecast period from 2014 to 2020 The world is witnessing a continuous rise in the incidence of various types of cancer. Clinical benefits of embolic agents and nanoparticles over other therapy and drug delivery systems; technological advances leading to the development of new and innovative therapy; and expanding therapeutic indications of existing NDDS are some of the major factors expected to drive growth of the global NDDS in cancer therapy market during the forecast period from 2014 to 2020. On the other hand, factors such as high treatment cost associated with NDDS, strict regulatory pathways and cost associated with new product development may restrict market growth to some extent. One of the major opportunities in this market is nano-enabled drug delivery systems as this segment has been anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of 24.7% during the forecast period. Embolization particles, liquid embolics and nanoparticles as drug delivery systems altogether comprise the global market for NDDS in cancer therapy. PVA particles, microspheres, drug eluting beads (DEB) and selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) are the major products under the embolization particles market segment, while Onyx LES and TRUFILL nBCA LES are the two major liquid embolic system brands. The liquid embolics market segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period from 2014 to 2020. Nanoparticles in novel drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising technology to treat patients suffering from various types of cancer. The market for nanoparticles segment was valued at USD 3,307.7 million in 2013 with the largest revenue share in the overall NDDS in cancer therapy market. Over the past two decades, many nanoparticles such as Doxil (doxorubicin), Megace ES (megestrol acetate), Abraxane (paclitaxel), Myocet (doxorubicin), DepoCyt (liposomal cytarabine), and DaunoXome (daunorubicin citrate) have been approved as drug delivery systems for cancer therapy.
