Obstructive Lung Disease Market Research Report– By Disease Type (Asthma, Bronchitis, Copd), By Product Type (Inhalers, Nebulizers), Drug Class (Combination Drug, Lta, Ics, Saba, Laba), Route of Administration, End User- Forecast till 2030

Obstructive Lung Disease Market Scenario

The obstructive lung disease market is expected to reach USD 51.3 Billion at a CAGR of 4.7% during the forecast period 2022-2030. Obstructive lung disease is a category of respiratory disease characterized by airway obstruction. Many obstructive diseases of the lung manifest due to the narrowing of bronchi which often cause excessive contraction of smooth muscles. The major types of obstructive lung disease include asthma, bronchiectasis, bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Increase in prevalence of COPD and asthma patients, rising geriatric population, increase in pipeline products, growing government and non-government initiatives for spreading awareness are the major factors driving the growth of the global obstructive lung diseases market.

As per the Global Burden of Disease study, it is estimated that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease caused 3.2 million deaths globally in 2015. Disease burden due to COPD was the highest in India, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, and Lesotho. COPD manifests itself as an occupational hazard in people working in agriculture, mining, plastics, and other industries.

Governments across each country have implemented regulations for the production, standardization, and utilization of COPD devices. These devices are divided into categories –Class-I, Class-II, Class-III, and Class-IV, depending upon the level of risk associated.

However, stringent government regulatory requirement for the approval of asthma and COPD drugs, side effects associated with the drug treatment, and patent expiry of drugs restrict the market growth.

Regional Analysis

The obstructive lung disease market consists of countries namely America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.

The Americas is projected to hold the largest share of the obstructive lung disease market due to presence of superior research and development base, strong regional economics, and greater emphasis on disease prevention and wellness by governments.

The European obstructive lung disease market is expected to witness rapid growth owing to the high investment in various private and government funded research and development programs in the region and increased spending on pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry development.

Countries such as China, Japan, and India in Asia Pacific are also poised to be promising markets for obstructive lung disease in the near future. The healthcare expenditure in Asia increased due to an extension of state healthcare programs and the increasing affluence of the population. India is anticipated to witness an expansion in spending due to a government resolution to enhance healthcare services. Moreover, China and South Korea are s triving to develop their biotechnology sector for diagnosis purpose. China’s efforts to develop its biotech sector has shown good results in sectors such as vaccines and biological products and the same can be expected in the obstructive lung disease industry. However, low research and development (R&D) yields, high infrastructure cost, stringent regulatory framework are some of the restraints of the obstructive lung disease market.

The Middle East region is expected to grow at a faster rate due to the factors such as the extensive development of healthcare infrastructure and growing emphasis on research and development in the healthcare sector.Recent Development:November 2023Lupin partners with Mark Cuban's company and COPD Foundation to improve availability and affordability of drugs to treat COPD in the US.October 2023AstraZeneca and Boehringer Ingelheim announce new clinical trials for their inhaled triple therapy for COPD.Novartis receives FDA approval for its new oral bronchodilator for COPD.September 2023GSK and Theravance Biopharmaceuticals announce new clinical trials for their inhaled dual bronchodilator for COPD.ResMed launches new COPD management platform.August 2023Philips Respironics launches new COPD therapy device.GlaxoSmithKline announces new partnership with COPD Foundation to improve care for people with COPD.July 2023Pfizer receives FDA approval for its new inhaled triple therapy for COPD.Teva announces new partnership with COPD Foundation to improve access to affordable COPD medications.
