China's population is ageing, and chronic ailments are becoming more common. Since 1970, China's population life span has grown by 17 years. From 2010 to 2040, the proportion of Chinese citizens aged 60 and up is expected to rise from 12.4% (168 million) to 28% (402 million).

According to WHO, Diabetes affects over 10% of all adults in China, or around 110 million individuals. Diabetes and its consequences account for about 1 million deaths in China each year. Rising incidence of chronic illnesses, technical improvements, and the expansion of the biologics industry leads to the increasing demand for drug delivery devices.

The research report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic short term impact on China drug delivery market, due to supply chain disruptions and delay in elective procedures. Drug delivery systems are being used more frequently to improve patient health and treatment outcomes, as post-pandemic chronic diseases become more prevalent. For instance,

• In September 2022, the International Diabetes Federation's Diabetes Atlas 2021 reports that there were 140.8 million diabetics in China and this number is expected to rise to 164 million by 2030.

The incidence of diabetes in China is gradually increasing, which is expected to drive demand for prefilled syringes and autoinjectors in the coming years. Rising incidence of cardiovascular illnesses (CVD) increase the use of long-term medication. Increasing awareness regarding novel drugs among population is anticipated to boost the market.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence in the China Drug Delivery Devices Market

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for hundreds of years in China to prevent and treat various ailments. Increased awareness among population for novel drug therapies paved the way for technological advancements. Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in drug delivery system help patients to manage their medication in better way.

AI algorithms analyze patient data to provide personalized recommendations for medication management. It is particularly helpful for patients with diabetes to manage their condition effectively. AI provides real-time assistance in managing blood sugar levels and helps users gain insights into their glucose patterns, which in turn, assists in making informed decisions about diet and lifestyle choices.
