Major Drivers of Smart Polymers Market The demand for novel drug delivery systems has been increasing significantly due to the prohibitive cost of developing new drug entities, expiration of existing international patents, discovery of new polymeric materials suitable for prolonging the drug release, and improvement in therapeutic efficiency. Traditionally, drugs have been encapsulated using lactic acid polymers. However, of late, lattice-like matrices have been employed to hold the drug of interest by integrating or trapping it between polymer strands. Smart polymers are gaining traction in drug delivery systems due to modulated or pulsating drug release pattern to mimic the biological demand. These operate fully automatically, without the need of additional sensors, transducers, switches, or pumps. Smart polymers are inexpensive, reduce dosing frequency, lower side effects, and provide improved stability. These properties of smart polymers are boosting their adoption in drug delivery systems. Thus, increase in demand for novel drug delivery system is likely to create opportunities for the global smart polymers market during the forecast period.
