Transdermal Skin Patches Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)

The Transdermal Skin Patches market is expected to register a CAGR of about 4. 78% during the forecast period with a revenue of approximately USD 7244. 33 million in 2020 and expected to reach USD 9572.

New York, April 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Transdermal Skin Patches Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2021 - 2026)" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06062860/?utm_source=GNW
34 million by 2026.

The COVID-19 outbreak across the world is expected to have a positive impact on the transdermal skin patches market, as these patches enable safe, reproducible, and controlled administration of drugs to defined skin microenvironment. Therefore, researchers working on a potential vaccine against the new COVID-19 strain causing the pandemic are exploring the use of a fingertip-sized skin patch for delivery.

The major factors attributing to the growth of the market is the increasing advantages of transdermal medicine over oral and ingesting medications (medications for gastrointestinal toxicity) that result in nausea and vomiting. As they are non-invasive in nature, they decrease the inconvenience caused by intravenous or parenteral therapies. The main advantage is that the patch provides a controlled release of the drug to the patient, usually through a perforated membrane covering the drug reservoir or by body temperature dissolving thin layers of medication embedded in the adhesive. These patches are also used for the treatment of migraine, hormones, pain, cardiovascular diseases, neurology disease, and smoking cessation. In current scenario, transdermal route of drug delivery system is increasing in demand due to reduced dosing frequency, improved bioavailability, reduced adverse events, and drug input termination at any point by the removal of the patch.

Furthermore, the growing funding and investments for drug development and new launches boosts the market growth. For instance, in February 2020, the US FDA approved the Contraceptive Patch known has Twirla (levonorgestrel and Ethinylestradiol) Transdermal System, it is a New Weekly Contraceptive Patch from the company, Agile Therapeutics Inc.. Hence, a significant number of clinical trials of different types of drugs is currently underway, and it is likely to positively impact the market in the future.
