In such a situation, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly adopting various drug delivery systems to enhance their product efficacy, patient compliance and extend patent lives through innovative repositioning and reformulations of existing drugs. This has resulted in significant growth in the drug delivery market over the last few years. According to GBI Research, the overall drug delivery market is forecasted to grow to $199 billion in 2016 from $101 billion in 2009, at a CAGR of 10.3%.
