The Topical Drug Delivery Market Size was valued at USD 317.8 billion in 2023 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.3% over 2024-2030. Topical Drug Delivery medication delivery is known to be one of the most effective methods of drug delivery owing to its finest therapeutic benefits. The rising incidences of skin disease and related issues globally are the factors that contribute to the topical drug delivery market growth. Furthermore, increasing benefits of transdermal medicine such as low rejection rate, excellent ease of administration, and outstanding patient convenience and persistence, over oral and ingesting medications (medications for gastrointestinal toxicity) that result in nausea and vomiting, are pushing the demand for the topical drug delivery market. Additionally, due to its non-invasive nature, patches decreased the inconvenience brought on by parenteral or intravenous therapies is propelling the market growth. During covid 19, the topical drug delivery market is hit badly by lockdowns worldwide. That pandemic also hurt the supply and demand chain of raw materials needed to make medications (such as drugs and manufacturing equipment). On the brighter side, the global economy is projected to gradually normalize, with an increase in the manufacturing and transportation of raw materials and associated equipment, resulting in market growth.
