Smart pills and drugs refer to mini electronic devices that are equipped with sensors. These pills and drugs are designed in the mold of capsules to perform highly advanced functions in the human body such as imaging, sensing, and drug delivery. A delivery system for those pills and drugs employs smart technology for efficient delivery to a targeted area, which is widely used in the diagnosis and therapeutics of numerous chronic and acute diseases.
Smart pills and drug delivery systems use different formulations, technologies, and approaches to deliver drugs to a specific area. These drugs are released at a proper rate as per need, which reduces dosage frequency and potential side effects. It helps enhance the safety and efficacy of drugs by delivering them to a specific place in the body and improving ease of administration.
The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic propelled the market due to the rising requirement for monitoring patients suffering from COVID-19. However, the demand from the research and biotech sector has increased to test the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines and drugs, which boosted the market.
Increasing demand for quick diagnosis is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. Smart pills and drugs are released to a targeted area that evaluates patients’ health quickly, which helps to decide prescribe medications at an early stage to avoid long-term exposure to disease. Furthermore, the rising demand for minimally invasive surgeries is likely to propel the market.
Rising prevalence of chronic diseases is also driving the market. Chronic diseases require long-term treatment with proper monitoring to improve patient outcomes. Thus, the demand for reliable clinical testing and targeted drug delivery solutions has increased, thus fueling the market.
Smart pills are advanced technology that utilizes sophisticated systems and software for manufacturing, which requires a high initial amount. Thus, the high cost of smart pills limits the market to a certain level. Furthermore, the lack of awareness among the population regarding smart pills and drugs is expected to hamper the market.
Growing advances in nanotechnology and the rising investments in R&D by biotech and pharmaceutical companies create immense opportunities in the market. The incorporation of digital pathology and digital dictation increases the safety and efficacy of disease diagnostics. Thus, prominent players are focusing on improving the safety and efficacy of smart pills. Furthermore, the increasing FDA approvals for novel drugs is likely to fuel the market.

Based on product, the smart pills and drugs delivery systems market is segregated into connected inhalers, connected wearable injectors, connected autoinjectors, connected pen injectors, add-on-sensors, and others. The connected wearable injectors segment accounted for a large share of the market in 2021 and is expected to generate a key share of the market during the projection period, owing to the increasing concerns over needle stick injuries. It precisely delivers medications over fixed or variable periods of time. Rising demand for continuous health monitoring is likely to boost the segment.
On the basis of delivery mode, the market is fragmented into injectable, implanted, oral, inhalation, and others. The injectable segment is anticipated to expand at a significant growth rate in the coming years, as it reduces side effects by controlling the release rate. It reduces fluctuations in plasma drug levels and improves patient compliance with safety and efficacy. The segment growth is further attributed to the growing need for reducing overdosage.
The implanted segment is estimated to grow at a rapid pace during the projected period, owing to the rising requirement for targeted drug delivery systems. In implanted mode, the drugs can be directly released to the specific area to achieve better results.
Based on application, the smart pills and drugs delivery systems market is divided into endoscopy, patient monitoring, and others. The patient monitoring segment is anticipated to register a robust growth rate during the forecast period, due to the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. Patients with chronic diseases require regular monitoring to keep track of their health condition, which reduces the time for a regular health checkup and improves their medical conditions.
On the other hand, the endoscopy segment is expected to grow at a considerable CAGR, due to the rising demand for accurate diagnosis. This growth is further attributed to the increasing demand for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal problems at an early stage.
On the bases of end-user, the market is segmented into clinics, hospitals, home care, ambulatory care, research centers, and others. The research centers segment is estimated to expand at a significant growth rate during the projected period due to the ongoing R&D activities for developing and improving the products. However, smart pills and drugs are widely used in drug discovery to determine the side effects.
