Transdermal delivery via microneedles is increasingly gaining traction as one of the more promising drug delivery technologies. Microneedles are of a few hundred microns in size, capable of creating transient pores across the skin by penetrating the stratum corneum layer to deliver molecules. These needles are not big enough to reach the nerve-rich regions of the skin; as a result, the drug delivery is perceived as completely painless and devoid of bleeding. Drugs, vaccines, proteins, peptides and other biomolecules are suitable for delivery using the microneedle technology.
The market is still in its infancy. So far, only one microneedle based delivery device, Soluvia prefilled microinjection system, has reached the market. The vaccine-device combination product was FDA approved in May 2011 for intradermal delivery of Fluzone influenza vaccine. We have identified more than 25 companies, with proprietary microneedle technology, actively working towards the development of microneedle-based drug or vaccine products. Clearside Biomedical, NanoPass Technologies, Corium International, Circassia, Radius Health and Zosano Pharma are examples of companies which are evaluating microneedle based drug/vaccine - device combination products (referred to as products hereafter) in clinical trials.
During the course of our research, we came across 22 products currently in different stages of development. We expect around ten products to be launched by the end of this decade, providing the much needed push to this market. Technological advancements will ensure the development of microneedle systems with improved safety and efficacy profile. As more products move from pipeline to the market, we expect to see an increase in the investment in this area from various quarters.
The Microneedles for Transdermal and Intradermal Drug Delivery, 2014-2030' report provides an extensive study in the field of microneedle based delivery systems for therapeutic use. The report covers various aspects, such as, benefits of microneedle assisted drug delivery over conventional needle-syringe system, key industry stakeholders, manufacturing challenges and upcoming opportunities.
