Anticipating Market Introduction of Nanotechnology-Enabled Drug Delivery Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Nanotechnology-enabled drug delivery systems (NDDS) are associated with high expectations regarding their economic and societal value. NDDS are expected to contribute to important issues in healthcare such as enabling novel pharmaceutical therapies which only target the site of the disease and help to reduce costs of healthcare. To date, more than two dozen NDDS have been developed into marketed products and many more are under development [1]. Market forecasts have estimated that the market for these technologies will grow from US$ 1 billion in 2010 to US$ 136 billion in 2021 [2, 3].
