Topical medications are generally applied on body surfaces such as skin or mucus membrane, thus being reverse counterparts of systemic medications and products. These medications include creams, foams, gels, lotions, ointments, and others.
Major factors that drive the topical drug delivery market are the high prevalence of skin diseases and burn injuries, deep penetration of drugs in the body, growth in preference for topical drug delivery due to non-invasive nature, and rise in geriatric population. However, side effects of topical drugs, such as allergies and rashes, and slow onset of action restrain the market growth. Factors such as delivery of biologics through the transdermal route and acquisition of small market players are expected to present numerous opportunities for market growth in near future.
