3D Printed Drugs Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Prevalence of Dysphagia to Favor Market

The worldwide population is mounting, such that it is predicted that there will be 2 billion over the age of 65 years by 2050; the most significant proportional increase will be in those over the age of 85 years. Various epidemiologic reports indicate that the prevalence of dysphagia is common in older populations and children. According to the statistics of the CDC, over 795,000 people are getting affected by strokes in the US every year, wherein 50% of stroke patients are associated with swallowing disorders. Additionally, various neurological diseases are known to be associated with dysphagia. The porous structure of 3D-printed drugs makes them collapse easily in the oral cavity. Thus, this form of medication is helpful for patients who often have swallowing difficulties, which in turn is driving the market's growth during the forecast period.

Emerging Market in Developing Countries

3D printing technologies are widely used in many areas, including fashion, construction, aerospace, and many other industries. In the field of medicine, it is being used mainly in dentistry and tissue engineering. However, the use of 3D printing technology in the pharmaceutical field is relatively recent. Many business sectors are unleashing the power of 3D printing technology, and experts predict that 3D printed (3DP) medications will revolutionize the pharmaceutical sectors during the forecast period. There’s a real opportunity with precision medicine to scale and dial in dose size for a specific patient. Many drug companies see tremendous opportunity and greater flexibility in creating dosage forms that meet specific patient needs. For instance, Cincinnati-based Aprecia is a pharmaceutical company specializing in 3DP medicinal products.
