Nanoparticle Measurement Instrument Market Drivers and Opportunities

Expanding Applications of Nanotechnology Drive Market Growth

Nanotechnology is being employed in a rising number of applications in the pharmaceutical industry, including cancer treatment, targeted drug delivery, and diagnostic imaging. The use of nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles helps increase the efficacy and lower the side effects of therapeutic candidates. Nanopharmaceuticals are the materials manipulated at the nanoscale, often to produce drugs with enhanced bioavailability, controlled release properties, or targeting. These applications need precise measuring devices to monitor drug delivery, assure quality control, and characterize nanoparticles. A thorough understanding of and control over nanoparticle size, shape, surface charge, and composition are necessary to develop nanopharmaceuticals. Thus, zeta potential analyzers, electron microscopes, and size analyzers are essential for investigations related to nanoparticles. Nanopharmaceuticals can ensure the precise delivery of drugs to particular tissues or cells, along with improving their stability and solubility. The continuous research and optimization efforts in the field of nanotechnology depend on the availability of sophisticated measurement tools to understand and alter the interactions and properties at the nanoscale. Thus, an increase in the application of nanotechnology to produce nanopharmaceuticals is driving the global nanoparticle measurement instrument market growth.

Emergence of Nanoparticle-Based Drug Delivery Systems to Offer Opportunities for Market

Several research activities are being carried out on drug delivery using nanotechnology. Nanotechnology contributes significantly to the effectiveness and potency of chronic disease treatments through site-specific and target-oriented delivery of precise medicines in humans. Various nanomedicine agents have been studied for their application in chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Recent efforts to advance nano-based drug delivery systems and nanomedicine have been focused on improving drug delivery by using the efficacy and selectiveness of nanomaterials. The use of large-sized materials in drug delivery poses substantial challenges, which include poor bioavailability, in vivo instability, poor solubility, issues with target-specific delivery, and sub-optimal absorption within the body. Nanotechnology plays a significant role in advanced medicine/drug formulations, as their size, shape, and surface chemistry can be adjusted to deduce benefit from the unique properties of nanoscale materials and structures; this allows tailoring their functionalities for different biomedical applications. For instance, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are being studied by AstraZeneca as a novel and promising delivery system for nucleotide-based medicines that produce therapeutic proteins inside target cells. Creative Biolabs offers sophisticated formulation development systems for APIs. Its particle and nanoparticle engineering technologies enable an array of nanotechnology-based drug delivery platforms. The business also sells polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, and nanocrystals. Thus, continuous developments in nanotechnology-based drug delivery systems are expected to generate significant opportunities for the nanoparticle measurement instrument market in the coming years.
