Overview of Report Findings
- Increasing Burden of Chronic Respiratory Diseases: As per the World Health Organization, the prevalence of asthma is increasing, with a projected growth of more than 100 million additional cases by 2025. Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways. It is one of the major non-communicable diseases worldwide, affecting over 300 million individuals. The prevalence of asthma continues to increase each year, particularly in low and middle-income countries. According to the article published in the National Library of Medicine, in 2020, the global prevalence of COPD was estimated at 10.6%, resulting in ~480 million cases among both males and females. By 2050, the number of COPD cases is projected to rise by 112 million, reaching a total of 592 million, which would represent 9.5% of the total eligible population. This indicates a relative increase of 23.3% in COPD cases from 2020 to 2050.
The increasing global burden of asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis is a significant factor driving the market for pulmonary drug delivery systems. Inhalers, nebulizers, and other pulmonary devices provide targeted administration of medications directly to the lungs, thereby enhancing treatment outcomes and patient adherence. This trend is fostering the global adoption of advanced pulmonary drug delivery systems. - Surging Technological Advancements in Drug Delivery Systems: Ongoing advancements in drug delivery technologies, such as smart inhalers, metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), and dry powder inhalers (DPIs), are significantly transforming the pulmonary drug delivery market. The development of more efficient, precise, and user-friendly devices improves patient adherence and ensures better targeting of medications. In June 2024, Aseptika launched the PUFFClicker3, a universal smart inhaler dose tracker designed to be compatible with both pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDI) and DPIs. The PUFFClicker3 aims to enhance inhaler adherence for patients of all ages and those with respiratory conditions that require inhalers for treatment. It supports 101 SNOMED-coded inhalers and includes built-in graphical instructions, making it easy to transition to a new type of inhaler. Such developments in the market make treatments for chronic respiratory diseases more effective and convenient for patients.
- Geographical Insights: In 2024, North America led the market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and APAC. Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
