Sustained Release Injectables to Exceed $10 Billion in 2015, According To Greystone Research Associates

(Amherst, NH) – Engineered formulations of injectable drugs – a class that includes established therapeutics for a number of disease segments including metabolic diseases, neurology and oncology – will experience an annual growth rate of 9.3 percent, exceeding $10 billion in market value by 2015, according to a new and comprehensive analysis by Greystone Research Associates. Growth will be spread across several major indications and will be driven in part by product candidates currently in the development pipeline.

“The technologies that are being used to create these extended release formulas include a range of approaches such as microsphere encapsulation, drug conjugation, and physical chemistry processing,” explains, George Perros, Greystone Managing Director. “The advantages of these drug products have allowed sustained release injectables to quietly carve out a healthy space for themselves in a number of therapeutic indications.”

This market segment relies on a collaborative business model, one that involves the IP owner, the drug developer, the device designer or manufacturer and quite often a CSO. Not surprisingly, partnerships and alliances are a hallmark of this segment.

Complete findings are contained in a new report researched and written by Greystone Research. Sustained Release Injectables: Evolving Formulations, Improving Dosing Regimens examines the current market and evolving potential for sustained release injectables. The report assesses the therapeutic impact of approved sustained release injectable drugs and development-stage candidates, and analyzes key market segments, technology factors, demand drivers and the competitive landscape.
