Inhalers Market: By Devices, By Type, By Application, By End User, and Geography  

Inhalers Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Devices (Metered Dose Inhaler, Dry Powder Inhaler and Nebulizer), By Type (Preventive Inhaler, Reliever Inhaler and Long-acting Bronchodilators Inhaler), By Application (Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Cystic Fibrosis), By End User (Home Care and Hospitals & Clinics), and Region  

Inhalers market size was valued at US$ 19,445.4 million in 2022 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 4.3% over 2023-2029. Due to an increase in occurrences of respiratory disorders, particularly the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19, hospital and clinical visits increased considerably, resulting in an increase in demand for inhalers and nebulizers, propelling the market forward. Various collaborations, partnerships, and acquisitions between pharmaceutical companies and smart inhaler manufacturers have increased competition in the smart inhaler industry, and the rise in healthcare expenditure in such economies presents lucrative opportunities for the market; thus, is a great opportunity for key players to invest.

Although inhalers have proven to be very successful devices, the wide variety of devices available can make it difficult for physicians to determine which one is best for a certain patient. In the future years, the market will be driven by the rise in popularity of smart respiratory inhaler devices. Smart inhaler devices connect to a smartphone app, allowing users to keep track of dose reminders and prescription schedules.

Inhalers Market Dynamics

The rising prevalence of COPD and asthma is a primary driver of market expansion. The number of people aged 65 and above in the United States is expected to nearly treble by 2050, with those aged 85 and up constituting the fastest-growing age group. Patients with asthma and COPD who live longer have more physical and cognitive co-morbidities, which impact their ability to use inhaler devices.

As the amount of ozone and particle matter in the air rises, the likelihood of developing asthma symptoms rises at an alarming rate. As a result, an increase in air pollution is predicted to directly contribute to a spike in asthma and COPD cases, propelling the market forward. However, high cost of the products is impelling the market growth.
