Nanoparticle Formulation Market Size is valued at 5.87 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach 13.74 billion by the year 2034 at an 9.0% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Nanoparticles are particles in the nanometer scale from 1 to 100 nm in diameter. These particles have proven helpful in many areas, including biomedicine, commonly for implants & drug delivery. Drug delivery with nanoparticles is an exciting field in which therapeutic compounds use nanoparticles as carriers to improve absorption, solubility, stability and decrease toxicity of the body.
Natural ingredients are back in fashion and useful because of their low toxicity and fewer side effects. However, natural compounds generally have low bioavailability and solubility, meaning the digestive system cannot readily absorb them. A feasible solution to these hitches is the usage of nanoparticles as drug delivery systems to act as delivery vehicles for therapeutics. Nanoparticles can provide many advantages for drug delivery, such as site-specific delivery and increased bioavailability. Additionally, nanoparticles aid in treating various disease conditions, including cancer, infectious diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological disorders.
Due to the challenges related to process development, consistency of the constructs & reproducibility, biopharma companies started to opt for contract manufacturing services to save time and reduce the complexity of nanoparticle formulations.
Many research firms are seeking novel nanoparticle delivery technologies and focusing on more patient-centricity in drug development.
The Nanoparticle Formulation Market is categorized into type of nanoparticle formulated, type of organic nanoparticle formulated, type of inorganic nanoparticle formulated, and scale of operation. The type of nanoparticle formulated segment comprises organic nanoparticles, inorganic nanoparticles, and carbon-based nanoparticles. By type of organic nanoparticle formulated, the market is divided into polymeric nanoparticles, lipid nanoparticles, viral nanoparticles, protein-based nanoparticles, and other organic nanoparticles.
The type of inorganic nanoparticle formulated segment consists of metal nanoparticles, quantum dots, silica nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, and other inorganic nanoparticles. Based on the scale of operation, the market is segmented into preclinical, clinical, and commercial.
Due to several advantages of lipid nanoparticles in therapeutics, pharma companies are collaborating with industries specializing in lipid nanoparticle formulation to expand their capabilities and improve product quality. In September 2022, NeoVac and Aragen Life Sciences Private Limited announced an agreement to create a lipid product that will enable the development of lipid nanoparticles (LNP) for use in producing RNA vaccines for various diseases. In 2021, WACKER collaborated with CordenPharma. Both companies reported that they intend to jointly develop novel methods for manufacturing Lipid Nanoparticles (LNPs) to meet the growing market demand.
The clinical category is expected to retain a significant share of the nanoparticle formulation market over the forecast period. Many ongoing clinical studies on drug therapies and vaccines for treating various diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and infectious diseases, are expanding the clinical segment of the market.
Factors such as the surging demand for targeted therapies, innovations in nanoparticle delivery systems, and increasing research efforts in drug development technologies are responsible for the blooming of the nanoparticle formulation market in North America, followed by Europe. At the same time, the Asia Pacific regional market is predicted to witness steady growth in the next few years. Increasing inventions, the introduction of nanoparticle delivery systems, and growing chronic diseases will likely drive the nanoparticle formulation market in this region.
