Connected drug delivery devices are integrated with capabilities that include connectivity to a wide range of digital services. These devices are being developed by various market players with an aim to support superior patient supervision and counselling. Connected drug delivery devices are equipped with several features, such as adherence trackers, dosing remainders, and patient diaries to collect health information. These devices are prominently used in the treatment of asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), diabetes, and other cardiovascular disorders.
The efficiency of drug delivery devices in therapeutic procedures along with rising usage of electronic healthcare devices are anticipated to fuel market expansion for connected drug delivery devices over the forecast period. In addition to this, it is projected that an increase in the prevalence of diabetes, COPD, and asthma will offer a lucrative potential for increasing use of connected drug delivery devices throughout the course of the forecast period.
On the other hand, high cost associated with the research and development proficiencies, limited infrastructural facilities, and imposition of stringent regulations on drug delivery systems are expected to hinder the market growth. Also, lack of favorable reimbursement scenario and technology penetration in the developing economies, availability of low-cost substitutes, and lack of suitable infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries are projected to challenge the market in the forecast period.
Furthermore, increased public-private funding for targeted research initiatives, rising air pollution levels, and an increase in product innovations and development due to global technological breakthroughs will all create lucrative opportunities for key players in the market throughout the projection period. In the future, the market growth rate will be accelerated due to expanding number of strategic alliances, increasing Internet usage, increasing number of hospitals and laboratories, and rising per-capita expenditure on health care spending. For instance, in February 2022, Aptar Pharma, a global leader in drug delivery systems launched a product Hero Tracker Sense, which is a next generation Metered-Dose Inhaler (MDI) add-on connected device, designed to address patient inhalation technique and adherence. It is designed to help improve the lives of patients around the world suffering from chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, and other respiratory conditions caused by COVID-19, to track their MDI usage and facilitate improved adherence to their prescribed therapy.
Global distribution and sales channel disruption due to COVID-19 pandemic could be blamed for the decline in connected drug delivery devices sales. People had to face restrictions such as lockdown, social distancing, and others. During the pandemic, business processes such as production, inventory management, and distribution of goods and services have ceased, which is expected to have a significant impact on the worldwide economy. However, the coronavirus outbreak made the high demand for simple and secure homecare setting medical devices. A healthcare provider is now able to remotely monitor a patient's medicine due to the requirement for online connectivity equipment. Owing to these factors, the COVID-19 pandemic's negative effects were decreased and the market kept expanding gradually.

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Connected Drug Delivery Devices Market," the connected drug delivery devices market size was $290.30 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $2.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 24.3% from 2022 to 2030.Connected drug delivery devices are the wireless connected and smart electronic devices that allow patient-administrated therapy. Delivering drugs through connected devices, such as auto-injectors, smart inhalers, and closed-loop solutions, has been documented as a potential way of improving patient adherence and reducing dosing errors, particularly in the home setting. Also, these devices are used for the treatment of various diseases such as multiple sclerosis, diabetes, liver & renal transplant recipients, hepatitis C, hypertension, asthma, tuberculosis, and clinically isolated syndrome.
Connected drug delivery devices help physicians to monitor the compliance of patients to the therapy prescribed by them as well as to modify or make any advancement in the treatment of the patient treatment as required. Increasing number of initiatives to create awareness regarding complexities caused by over dosage or under dosage of medicines is expected to promote the adoption of connected drug delivery devices. Patients with chronic diseases, such as asthma and diabetes, are facing challenges in managing medications, adherence to prescriptions, visiting healthcare providers, and maintaining a balanced diet. Connected drug delivery devices can be useful for self-management. As these devices can aid in patient adherence to prescribed treatments, which is likely to significantly increase their adoption.
One of the key challenges for widespread adoption in drug delivery applications remains the cost effective integration of simple to use electronic communications systems. This is because delivery devices are, mechanically simple and made at low cost in extremely high volumes. Furthermore, connecting these devices to an existing wireless network usually entails pairing procedures, passwords, apps, and/or subscriptions. These may draw attention away from the system's dependability and usability for the patient.
