What Are Key Factors Driving The Demand In The Global Extended-Release Drugs Market?
The escalating prevalence of long-term health ailments is predicted to influence the expansion of the extended-release drug market. Chronic conditions are characterized as health issues that persist for at least a year and require ongoing medical assistance, hamper normal daily activities, or both. Heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes stand as prime examples. Extended-release drug delivery systems are engineered to maintain a fairly steady concentration of medication within the body over an extended timeframe. It aids in preserving a regular therapeutic effect and negates the possible inconsistencies in drug levels occurring with immediate-release medications. For example, in January 2023, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a United States-based National Library of Medicine, anticipated that by 2050, the population aged 50 years and above suffering from a minimum of one chronic disease will experience a 99.5% hike, escalating to 142.66 million. Thus, the escalating prevalence of chronic conditions is fueling the growth of the extended-release drug market.
