Respiratory Drug Delivery Formulation Market Expansion Projected To Gain An Uptick During 2026
Respiratory drug delivery formulations are used for treating various respiratory diseases. The pulmonary route of drug delivery is most effective in recent times for treatment of respiratory diseases as it enables to target drug delivery directly to lung both for local and systemic treatment. There are various types of drug delivery in respiratory system like inhalers, capsules. The formulations can also be delivered by the oral or nasal route. Respiratory drug delivery formulations market are categorized as solution aerosol, suspension aerosol and dry powder. Metered dose inhalers (MDIs), dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and nebulizers are used for successful delivery of a wide range of pharmaceutical drugs to the lungs. Respiratory drug delivery formulations are largely used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and cystic fibrosis.
As per the Global Asthma Network, 2014, asthma affects nearly 334 million people worldwide, thus increase in prevalence and incidence of respiratory diseases has led to increase in demand for the respiratory drug delivery formulations market. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are focused on increasing access to affordable medications to provide novel options to patients and pharmacists, thereby addressing the limited availability of respiratory drug delivery formulations, which in turn is expected to augment market growth. For instance, in August, 2017, Teva Pharmaceuticals announced that the U.S. FDA approved its QVAR RediHaler inhalation aerosol used for the maintenance treatment of asthma as a prophylactic therapy in patients aged 4 years and older. Furthermore, in December 2018, Teva Pharmaceuticals received U.S. FDA approval for its ProAir Digihaler device, a digital inhaler that uses sensors to connect to mobile app. It is indicated for the treatment of bronchospasm in people with reversible obstructive airway disease.
Moreover, rising prevalence of various infectious diseases, including respiratory tract infections, is expected to drive growth of the respiratory drug delivery formulation market in the near future. For instance, according to a study published in the Lancet Global Health Journal, in 2016, an estimated 55.3 million cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were observed in India.
Respiratory drug delivery formulation Market- Competitive Analysis
Manufacturers are focused on development, manufacturing, and marketing of multisource and branded pharmaceuticals, thereby augmenting the market growth.
