Liposome drug delivery involves encapsulating drugs in liposomes, which are nanosized vesicles made of phospholipid bilayers, for safer and more effective delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Drugs can be entrapped inside the aqueous core or integrated into the phospholipid bilayers of liposomes. This modifying drug formulations allows for controlled or sustained release of drugs at target sites. It also helps protect drugs from degradation and prevents harmful side-effects by reducing interactions with healthy tissues. Some key advantages of liposome drug delivery include reduced toxicity, few side effects, improved solubility of water-insoluble compounds, and better bioavailability of encapsulated drugs. The growing demand for advanced drug delivery systems to improve patient outcomes is driving innovations in liposomal formulations.
The Global Liposome Drug Delivery Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 9,935.6 Mn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.9% over the forecast period from 2024 to 2031.
