Abstract
The lungs are considered by many to be the best alternative for drugs needing
to bypass the gastrointestinal tract. With advancing technology, the practice
of utilizing the huge surface area of the lungs to delivery drugs into the
blood circulation has been slowly transforming into reality.
The pulmonary drug delivery market reached $25.5 billion in 2006 and is
expected to experience high steady growth in the next five years. Contributing
to growth are new technologies such as dry powder inhalers and new product
offerings that require advanced drug delivery. Pulmonary drug delivery offers
the potential for noninvasive administration of a wide variety of
macromolecules. Nearly every biotherapeutic product that treats chronic or
long-term illness would benefit from noninvasive delivery by providing a
competitive advantage with current therapeutics. This advantage could expand
the market for each product or enable new indications to be considered.
