Advancements in technology are another factor expected to significantly contribute to the industry growth during the forecast period.

Presence of established players who are investing in nanotechnology research and development for product enhancement is expected to present potential avenues for innovation, growth, and expansion in the market. The industry players are furthermore trying to receive FDA clearance for their products to be accessible in the market. For instance, in October 2023, Xenix received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance to launch the SOLACE Sacroiliac Fixation System. It consists of 3D printed, threaded implants ranging from 10.5mm or 12.0mm in diameter and 30mm to 115mm in length and features Xēnix Medical’s NANOACTIV nanotechnology surface

Mergers & acquisitions, and partnerships and collaborations are common trends in the industry to gain a competitive edge. A high number of nanomedicines are produced by small pharmaceutical companies which are later acquired by established major players. Such activities keep the market competitive and promote further growth. For instance, in January 2024, Cencora entered into a collaboration with Sigrid Therapeutics with an aim to accelerate the commercialization of Sigrid’s SiPore technology designed to prevent diabetes and obesity.

Regulatory bodies play a crucial role in the large share of the country. However, the government has accelerated the nanomedicine development in the country by initiating various favorable guidelines. In addition, FDA’s approach to effective regulation of nanotechnology-based products is expected to lower the impact of the restraints such as adverse effects associated with consuming nanoparticles, in the coming years.
