Transdermal Medical Patch Market - Market Overview

A transdermal medical patch, also known as medicated patch or skin patch, is a type of medical device designed to deliver medications or other therapeutic substances through the skin and into the blood stream. These patches are typically thin, adhesive patches that applied directly to the skin allowing the medication to be absorbed gradually over a specified period. Transdermal patches provide a convenient method of medication administration. They can be applied to the skin and worn for a specified duration, often ranging for a few hours to several days, depending on the medication and desired therapeutic effect.

Market Driver

Increasing Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Drives Global Transdermal Medical Patch Market

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes account for a significant amount (US$ 4,100,000 million) in annual healthcare spending in the US. Transdermal medical patches are used to administer medications to people suffering from chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and arthritis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), ~17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2019, representing 32% of all deaths recorded globally. 85% of CVD-related deaths were due to heart attacks. According to the same source, over three-quarters of CVD deaths occurred in low-and-middle-income countries in 2019, including 17 million premature deaths (under the age of 70) due to noncommunicable diseases; CVDs were a cause of death in 38% of the mortalities associated with noncommunicable diseases.

A cardiac patch provides an excellent platform for cell engraftment improvement. For example, a vascularized cardiac patch developed recently shows promising potential for treating ischemic heart injuries. Nitroglycerin transdermal patches are used to prevent angina (chest pain) episodes in people with coronary artery disease. It works by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the stress on the heart, thereby lowering the need for oxygen. However, these patches cannot be used to treat angina attacks that have already begun.

Alzheimer's disease was officially listed as the sixth-leading cause of death in the US in 2019 and the seventh-leading cause of death in 2020 and 2021. According to the 2023 stats by the National Institute of Health, ~6.7 million Americans (i.e., 1 in 9 people or 10.8%), aged 65 and older, have Alzheimer's dementia. The percentage of people with Alzheimer's dementia increases with age. 5% of people aged 65–74, 13.1% aged 75–84, and 33.3% aged 85 and above have Alzheimer's dementia. According to a published the “Global Prevalence of Young-Onset Dementia" report published in 2021, the prevalence of younger-onset dementia in the US is estimated at 110 of every 100,000 people aged 30–64 years, or ~200,000 Americans in total. Thus, individuals with age less than 65 can also develop Alzheimer's dementia.

Rivastigmine patch is used to treat dementia (memory loss) associated with mild, moderate, or severe Alzheimer's disease or mild-to-moderate dementia associated with Parkinson's disease. Rivastigmine and donepezil, which are cholinesterase inhibitors, exhibit a dose–response relationship, with higher doses of the drugs demonstrating greater efficacy. As a small, lipophilic, and hydrophilic molecule, rivastigmine is chemically well-suited for transdermal delivery. The technology underlying the rivastigmine patch contributes to its discreetly small and thin appearance. Thus, the rivastigmine patch enables quick and easy access to high-dose efficacy.

Therefore, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases catalyzes the demand for medical patches, thus surging transdermal medical patch market.
