What's Topical? Devices for Transdermal Drug Delivery
Executive Summary
The drug delivery device industry is on track to reach almost $23 billion by the year 2011, and the fastest growth will come from the transdermal sector. According to a recent Windhover Information/Medtech Insight report, transdermal delivery technologies will build up to sales of $4.6 billion by 2011. Pharma's increasing fondness for macromolecules will fuel that growth, as will the perennially hot market for transdermal formulations of pain drugs.
