Drug Delivery Devices Market Insights
The drug delivery devices market is experiencing growth due to increased drug delivery procedure volumes
combined with increases in price at slightly less than the rate of medical device price inflation. Growth in
drug delivery device utilization is largely driven by the adoption of newer biological drugs that necessitate
intravenous administration over oral routes. Additionally, there has been increased adoption of newer,
higher-priced smart pumps that help reduce medication errors and automate drug administration documentation,
resulting in higher dollar volume sales.
Leading suppliers, such as Medtronic, Baxter, and BD, collectively represented about 48% of the market share in
2023. Notably, ICU Medical increased its share from 5% in 2020 to 8.6% by acquiring Smith Medical's drug
delivery business.
Despite the market’s growth potential, it faces changes—particularly regarding regulatory oversight and
technological reliability. Many smart infusion systems have encountered recalls due to issues such as improper
medication administration and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The market remains fragmented, with no single
company holding more than 20% market share, creating opportunities for smaller players to introduce innovative
technologies.
