Abstract

This report examines the business opportunities that are being created by nano-engineered solutions for the drug delivery market. According to one source, approximately $65 billion in drug revenues every year are accounted for by pharmaceuticals with poor bio-availability which far too often results in higher patient costs and inefficient treatment but also, more importantly, increased risks of toxicity or even death. Because nanotechnology focuses on the very small it is uniquely suited to creating systems that can better deliver drugs to tiny areas within the body. Nano-enabled drug delivery also makes it possible for drugs to permeate through cell walls, which is of critical importance to the expected growth of genetic medicine over the next few years.
