Liposomes are small, artificial and lipid-based bilayered spherical vesicles, which are created spontaneously by hydrated phospholipids.
Owing to their ability to encapsulate bioactive hydrophilic, amphipathic, and lipophilic molecules, liposomes are extensively used as efficient delivery systems for antigens or drugs. They can protect a drug from being detected by the body’s immune system by imitating biological membranes and providing the drug more time to reach its target destination.
Liposome – a trending novel drug delivery system- In recent years, liposomes have garnered significant interest of researchers, as well as industry players, owing to their potential in diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, with a focus on delivering drugs and genetic material.
The global liposome manufacturing market, valued at USD 0.9 billion in 2025, is projected to grow to USD 1.0 billion in 2026 and USD 2.3 billion by 2035, representing a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period 2026 to 2035.
Liposomes offer great therapeutic efficacy and safety. They have several applications in the biomedical field such as delivering drug to the desired site while minimizing drug exposure to normal tissues, increased delivery of potential medications to the cytosol, stabilizing therapeutic compounds, and removing barriers to cellular and tissue absorption.
In addition to the aforementioned applications, liposomes are gaining popularity across various other fields, including drug delivery, agriculture, cosmetics, and food industry. Due to multiple advantages across diverse application areas, including enhanced biocompatibility, high biodegradability, low toxicity, weak immunogenicity, increased drug solubility, controlled distribution, ability to make surface modifications for targeted, extended, and sustained release, liposomes have been recognized as the most effective delivery system. Currently, there are several liposomal formulations clinically approved for the
