Buccal Drug Delivery Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Buccal drug delivery is a substitute technique for an oral drug delivered in which the drug is administrated through buccal mucosa of oral cavity. The drug is usually placed between the upper gums and cheeks for the treatment of numerous disease and condition. Buccal drug delivery is considered suitable for use among the hospital patients. The biofluid interaction of the buccal drug delivery is reduced by such delivery systems. These systems even help in providing high concentration particularly at target area.

Buccal Drug Delivery Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing research by Different Community Hospitals

Rise in admission in hospitals, particularly of elderly patients, and product development and research by numerous community hospitals are increasing the segment growth. Studies conducted by several hospitals bring novelty and increase the commercialization of the formulation. For instance, three community hospitals in Japan in 2020 conducted in vitro and in vivo studies to develop mucoadhesive microparticle-laden gels for oral mucositis. The research confirmed that the drug's increased concentration at the target site and faster treatment than traditional dosage forms are most likely to improve the adoption. Furthermore, several hospitals in highly developed countries are much involved in the study and development of buccal mucoadhesive formulation which includes potent analgesics, insulin, and drugs to treat heart failure. Ambulatory centers are anticipated to witness the huge growth during the forecast period, followed by the other segment that includes home health, clinics, and OTC medications.

Opportunities

• Increasing Demand of Sublingual Films

The sublingual films are anticipated to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period 2023-2030. Multiple factors are responsible for the segment's growth, such as increased research to develop controlled release formulation and immediate availability of high drug concentration at a target site. These formulations are used widely being used in anti-addiction treatments and emergency care centers due to their faster onset of action.   

• Increase in Smoking Addiction

Buccal drug delivery is often the most recommended and effective formulation for treating patients with smoking or nicotine addiction. Several studies have confirmed that nicotine lozenges are highly effective in delivering a greater concentration of the drug than gums or other dosage forms. It is also a good alternative for those hesitant to constantly chew on gums and a great choice to cease low and high-dependent smoking. Thus, this factor boost the market growth.

Restraints/Challenges
