According to a research report published by Spherical Insights and Consulting, The Global Injectable Suspensions Market Size was worth around USD 11.6 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to grow to around USD 23.5 Billion by 2035 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.63% from 2025 and 2035. The market for injectable suspensions presents numerous opportunities for growth, driven by increasing innovation in long-acting formulations and novel drug delivery systems, as well as the rising incidence of chronic diseases that require more stable and patient-friendly formulations.

Market Overview

The global injectable suspension industry is focused on developing and selling pharmaceutical products where solid drug particles are suspended in a liquid medium for parenteral administration, such as injection. Injectable suspension refers to the parenteral preparations designed for injection into the body, consisting of finely divided insoluble particles (microsized or nanosized) dispersed in a liquid medium, with no release modifiers and no insoluble excipients in the solution phase. They usually contain a drug concentration in between 0.5-5.0% which passes easily through the hypodermic needle. For instance, Kenalog-40 injection is an injectable suspension, 40 mg/mL for intramuscular or intra-articular use.

Innovation and market expansion are anticipated as a result of major players' growing R&D expenditures and the strategic alliances among biopharmaceutical companies for advancing the delivery platform. For instance, in July 2025, Clearside Biomedical, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, announced a plan to explore a full range of strategic alternatives to advance its SCS platform and drug development to enhance stockholder value. With an increasing advancement in nanomedicine, the integration of protein-bound nano-injectable solutions is anticipated to drive a huge surge in the global injectable suspensions market. For instance, Nanomi’s LAI platform is a proprietary particle control technology that has demonstrated efficacy and safety in drug delivery of Risperidone long-acting injectable, which was approved by the US FDA in September 2025.

Market Segmentation

The injectable suspensions market share is classified into product type, application, and end-use.   

• The non-steroid injectable suspensions segment dominated the market with a major share of about 57.5% in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the product type, the injectable suspensions market is divided into steroid injectable suspensions and non-steroid injectable suspensions. Among these, the non-steroid injectable suspensions segment accounted for a major share of about 57.5% in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. For instance, procaine benzyl penicillin, Procaine penicillin G and Benzathine benzylpenicillin (benzathine penicillin G) are the antibiotics that are injected intramuscularly. The increasing use of injectable suspension for biologics and small molecule drugs is contributing to driving the segmental market growth.

• The oncology segment is dominating the market with a significant revenue share of 34.6% in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the injectable suspensions market is divided into oncology, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and others. Among these, the oncology segment is dominating the market with a significant revenue share of 34.6% in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. There is ongoing research on developing injectable delivery vehicle systems suitable for combined chemo and radiotherapy. For instance, protein-bound nano injectable suspensions are advanced nanomedicine that offer precise and controlled drug delivery for treating complicated diseases, including cancer.

• The hospitals segment held the largest market share of 37.9% in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the end-use, the injectable suspensions market is divided into hospitals, clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.
