Increasing Prevalence of Asthma and Emergence of Covid-19 to Augment Growth of Respiratory Drug Delivery Formulation Market
Respiratory drugs can
be delivered to the body in different ways. The most common form is through
inhalation. Oral or intravenous delivery are other common methods. Respiratory
drugs are used for the treatment of different respiratory disorders. They
include medicines for treatment of influenza, pneumonia, chronic obstructive
pulmonary diseases, and some common forms of allergy such as food allergies and
rhinitis.
Market Dynamics
Increasing
prevalence of asthma is expected to propel growth of the global respiratory
drug delivery formulation market. For instance, According to The Global Asthma
Report 2018, around 300 million people have asthma worldwide, and the number is
expected to reach 100 million by 2025.
Moreover,
initiatives to boost adoption of dry powder inhalers is also expected to aid in
growth of the market. For instance, in September 2018, researchers from
University of Helsinki, Finland, reported investigation of non-verbal,
demonstrational videos as a method of teaching inhaler naïve individuals how to
use a dry powder inhaler.
Emergence
of Covid-19 is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities for players in
the global respiratory drug delivery formulation market. For instance, globally,
as of 4:32pm CET, 30 December 2020, there have been 80,773,033 confirmed cases
of COVID-19, including 1,783,619 deaths, reported to the World Health
Organization. Moreover, launch of solutions to track usage pattern of
metered-dose inhalers is also expected to aid in growth of the market. For
instance, in November 2019, Lupin Ltd. launched a device – Adhero – to track
usage pattern of metered-dose inhalers (MDI) by patients suffering from chronic
respiratory diseases.
Major
players operating in the global respiratory drug delivery formulation market are
focused on approval and launch of new products to expand their product
portfolio. For instance, in September 2019, Novartis International AG’s
Concept1 inhaler received certification under the new EU Medical Devices
Regulation (MDR).
