The global respiratory inhalers market size was valued at USD 33.5 billion in 2023, driven by the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) across the 8 major markets. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period of 2024-2032, with the values likely to rise from USD 35.3 billion in 2024 to USD 53.9 billion by 2032.
Respiratory inhalers are handheld, portable medical devices that allow the delivery of medication directly to the lungs through the individual’s mouth. They are usually employed to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The inhalation route of administration offers a distinct advantage by maximizing the concentration of the drug in the target tissue, providing the highest potential therapeutic effect.
The respiratory inhalers market is driven by the rising cases of respiratory disorders propelling the demand for efficient inhaler devices. The introduction of innovative products such as smart inhalers by market leaders is also expected to fuel the market expansion in coming years. Furthermore, the rising healthcare expenditure and heightened patient awareness are likely to augment the market demand for respiratory inhalers.
Advancements in inhaler technology, integration of digital health solutions, increased focus on combination therapies, and environmental sustainability initiatives comprise some of the key trends and developments in the market.
Date | Company | Event |
November 2023 | GSK plc | GSK is actively investing to redevelop its Ventolin (salbutamol) inhaler into a next-generation lower carbon propellant, which currently accounts for 49% of the company’s carbon footprint, and is prescribed to almost 35 million patients. The company announced its plan to begin the Phase III trials of the metered dose inhaler in 2024 and regulatory submissions in 2025 on getting positive results. If successful, the next-generation propellant technology is estimated to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90%. |
August 2023 | Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. | Teva UK launched a new inhaler system GoResp Digihaler (budesonide/formoterol fumarate dihydrate) in the United Kingdom. The innovative device, with features like built-in sensors and Bluetooth technology, is designed for COPD and asthma patients, allowing self-management of the condition and sharing of data with healthcare professionals. |
June 2023 | Gilbert Technologies | Gilbert Technologies, a Dutch medical technology manufacturer, raised EUR 7 million in Seed and Series A funding. The funds were expected to be used in supporting the development of Electro Hydrodynamic Atomization (EHDA) technology and smart precision inhaler solutions for lung patients with severe asthma, cystic fibrosis (CF), and other disease states. |
January 2023 | AstraZeneca | The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval for Airsupra, an asthma rescue inhaler for adults 18 and older. It delivers two drugs, albuterol (opens up airways) and budesonide (treats inflammation) simultaneously. The product, developed as a collaborative effort between AstraZeneca and Avillion, is the first rescue inhaler that can manage both symptoms and inflammation associated with the condition. |
Key Trend | Impact |
Advancements in Inhaler Technology | Technological advancements in inhaler devices, including improved aerosol systems for more efficient drug delivery and user-friendly designs, are expected to fuel the demand for these innovative inhalers. These developments are targeted to optimize the therapeutic effects of medications and minimize side effects, among others. |
Integration of Digital Health Solutions | Smart inhalers leverage digital health technologies such as Bluetooth connectivity and mobile app integration to enable real-time tracking of medication use, remind patients about doses, and can even monitor inhalation techniques. Thus, smart inhalers facilitate better adherence to treatment plans and are likely to experience a high respiratory inhalers market demand in the coming years. |
Increased Focus on Combination Therapies | There is a growing market trend towards the demand for inhalers that combine multiple medications in a single device. By delivering two or more active ingredients simultaneously, these inhalers can improve lung function, reduce symptoms, and decrease the frequency of flare-ups more effectively than monotherapy. |
Environmental Sustainability Initiatives | The market is witnessing increased initiatives aimed at developing more sustainable inhaler options which can reduce the impact of inhaler propellants on greenhouse gas emissions. This trend indicates rising investments by the market leaders and government institutions to decrease the environmental repercussions of respiratory care products while maintaining their efficacy. |
The market is experiencing significant growth driven by the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis. These conditions fuel the demand for respiratory inhalers to manage the symptoms. Moreover, the rising air pollution levels and the growing geriatric population is more susceptible to respiratory disorders are some of the factors bolstering market growth.
The respiratory inhalers market size is poised to witness a steady expansion supported by rising disposable incomes, heightened patient awareness towards respiratory health, and increased initiatives by the government to improve patient outcomes. Moreover, the increased strategic partnerships between the key market players to introduce technologically advanced inhaler systems in the market are likely to augment market size in the forecast period.
