Plastics in personalized drug delivery systems refer to advanced polymeric materials designed to improve the precision, safety, and efficiency of drug administration. These plastics, including biodegradable and bioresorbable polymers like PLA and PLGA, enable controlled and targeted release of therapeutics, reducing side effects and improving patient compliance. They are used in various forms such as nanoparticles, microneedles, microspheres, and implants, often engineered to respond to physiological stimuli like pH, temperature, or enzymes. Integration with nanotechnology and smart polymers further enhances drug stability, bioavailability, and site-specific delivery, supporting next-generation personalized medicine. 

Drivers: The plastics in personalized drug delivery systems market faces several challenges that could hinder growth. High production costs of advanced biodegradable and smart polymers limit widespread adoption, especially in cost-sensitive regions. Complex regulatory requirements for biocompatibility, safety, and environmental compliance can delay product approvals. Manufacturing and scaling polymer-based drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticles or microneedles, require specialized expertise and equipment. Additionally, ensuring consistent drug loading, stability, and controlled release in diverse patient populations remains technically demanding. Market growth may also be constrained by limited awareness among healthcare providers and patients about the benefits of polymer-based personalized drug delivery technologies.
