Bioavailability Enhancement Technologies and Services Market, 2020-2030

Low bioavailability is one of the primary concerns associated with marketed drugs; in fact, various studies indicate that around 40% of available drugs are poorly bioavailable / soluble. As the drug developers shift their focus towards development of lipophilic drug compounds, the issue with aqueous solubility / bioavailability of the drugs is likely to increase further. It is estimated that around 90% of NCEs belong to BCS class II and IV, which are known to be associated with low solubility / permeability. Given that a large number of drugs fail to reach the market due to poor bioavailability, the industry is looking for various tools / methods to mitigate this challenge. Moreover, as many companies seek to re-formulate existing product candidates that exhibit poor bioavailability (via the 505(b)(2) pathway), the demand for novel bioavailability enhancement methods has grown significantly.
