Dublin, Jan. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lqjncv/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Needle-free Drug Delivery Technologies market 2015-2019" report to their offering.

Needle-free drug delivery technologies are used to deliver drugs or vaccines into a patient's body without the need for a traditional needle. The primary objectives of the development of these technologies are to eliminate NSI and its associated complications and increase patient compliance and comfort. Needle-free drug delivery systems include jet injectors, microneedles, nanopatches, and vaccine implants.

The advantages of these systems over conventional syringes are expanded immunization coverage, decreased healthcare costs, and increased patient compliance. Needle-free systems expand the range of molecules that can be delivered transdermally with improved efficiency and enhance the efficacy of the drug or vaccine. Microneedles increase the efficacy of vaccines by targeting them to antigen-presenting cells mainly found just beneath the stratum corneum of the skin.

The analysts forecast the Global Needle-free Drug Delivery Technologies market to grow at a CAGR of 13.50 percent over the period 2014-2019.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Needle-free Drug Delivery Technologies market for the period 2015-2019. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales of various needle-free drug delivery systems with active mechanisms for skin permeation such as velocity, ultrasound, iontophoresis, thermo ablation, and electrophoresis. This mode of drug delivery includes:

• Jet Injectors
• Transdermal Patches (Microneedles, Nanopatches)
  

The report, the Global Needle-free Drug Delivery Technologies Market 2015-2019, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the Americas, and the APAC and EMEA regions; it also covers the Global Needle-free Drug Delivery Technologies market landscape and its growth prospects in the coming years. The report includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

The introduction and enforcement of various laws mandating the use of safety needles/syringes and needle-free devices are one of the major trends in this market. With the introduction and enforcement of such laws, the Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals markets worldwide are now switching to the mandatory use of safety needles/syringes and needle-free devices to help protect those at risk of infection from NSIs and other unsafe injection practices.

According to the report, increased safety and efficiency are the key factors responsible for the growth of the market. Needle-free drug delivery systems provide better acceptability, particularly in self-administration settings.

Further, the report states that needle-free drug delivery systems are associated with increased technology because of which there is a decrease in the rate of adoption. These devices require training modules and instruction manuals for the users.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.
