Key Market Insights

More than 180 organizations claim to be engaged in the development of subcutaneous biologics
The market is characterized by the presence of over 100 approved biologics, while more than 350 such drug candidates are presently being evaluated across different clinical stages. Of the total number of such drugs, over 115 are intended for treating autoimmune disorders, followed by metabolic disorders (65+) and oncological disorders (60+).

300+ subcutaneous drug delivery systems are presently available / under development
More than 100 of these subcutaneous drug delivery systems are large volume wearable injectors and autoinjectors. In addition, we identified around 80 pen-injectors and close to 40 needle free injectors that are designed to facilitate subcutaneous drug delivery.

Over 90% of subcutaneous formulation technology developers are small or mid-sized players Further, more than 60% of such companies are based in North America; key hubs in the region include (in decreasing order of number of companies) Massachusetts, California and New Jersey. It is also worth noting that most of the available technology platforms (over 70%) are either focused on facilitating the delivery of highly concentrated / viscous protein formulations, or enabling extended / controlled / sustained delivery of biologics.

Several partnerships have been inked by subcutaneous formulation technology developers since 2011
The report covers over 50 deals, most of which (18) were signed in 2018 and 2019. It is worth highlighting that around 40% of the total partnerships were technology licensing agreements, followed by deals related to formulation development (30%).
