Report Code: HCR 0872 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Pulmonary Drugs Market Overview

Pulmonary Drugs Market size is estimated to reach $68.7 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Pulmonary drugs can treat an extensive series of conditions, which are involved within the scope of pulmonary ailments like pneumonia, allergic rhinitis, pulmonary hypertension, and others. Pulmonary delivery of drugs utilizing dry powder inhalers (DPI) is a rising approach to treating tuberculosis (TB). Compared to the traditional pulmonary delivery for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), TB needs high dose delivery to the lung. Antihistamines are medications that treat allergic rhinitis, common cold, influenza, and additional allergies. Usually, people consume antihistamines as an economical, generic, medication that can be purchased without a prescription and offers alleviation from nasal congestion, sneezing, or hives brought about by pollen, dust mites, or animal allergy with not many side effects. In pulmonary ailments, monoclonal antibodies have been tested principally in asthma with important outcomes. The anti-IgE and the anti-interleukin-5 (IL-5) antibodies are presently a portion of the typical treatment of serious asthma. Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) are one of the two principal kinds of inhalers for the delivery of respiratory medications, for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The other is Dry Powder Inhalers. MDIs are also termed pMDIs (pressurised metered dose inhalers).

The extensive application of pulmonary drugs in the treatment of all kinds of pulmonary ailments is set to drive the Pulmonary Drugs Market. The enormous environmental pollution in metropolitan cities and industrial lands resulting in respiratory ailments involving the application of antihistamines is set to propel the growth of the Pulmonary Drugs Market during the forecast period 2022-2027. This represents the Pulmonary Drugs Industry Outlook.

The increasing awareness regarding pulmonary ailments and the existence of key players are further fuelling the progress of the Pulmonary Drugs Market in the Asia-Pacific region.

Pulmonary Drugs Market - Drivers

Surging Applications Of Dry Powder Inhalers Are Projected To Drive The Growth Of Pulmonary Drugs Market:

Peak inspiratory flow (PiF, ml/s), is defined as the peak box pressure signal happening at the time of one breath in a negative direction. The peak inspiratory flow rate to distribute powder from most commercially accessible dry powder inhalers (DPIs) is between 30 and 60L/min. These flow rates lead to oropharyngeal doses comparable with that acquired from a pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) without an add-on device. All DPIs need the patient to prepare the dose prior to inhalation, and the suitable process is detailed in the package insert or patient information leaflet. It is thought-provoking to note that the principal pharmaceutical firms with an interest in inhaled asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) medications appear to be prioritizing the DPI over reformulated HFA pMDIs products. Principally, combination products in DPIs including a long-acting -agonist and a corticosteroid (for example, Advair Diskus and Symbicort Turbuhaler) have been very favorable. The surging applications of dry powder inhalers are therefore fuelling the growth of the Pulmonary Drugs Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Soaring Applications Of Pulmonary Medications Are Expected To Boost The Demand For Pulmonary Drugs:

Typical medications utilized in the treatment of pulmonary ailments involve bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory agents, decongestants, antihistamines, antitussives, mucokinetics, respiratory stimulants and depressants, and paralyzing and antimicrobial agents. Disregarding which class a specific medicine belongs to, the reason for its prescription focuses on advancing bronchodilation or alleviating bronchoconstriction, expediting the elimination of secretions from the lungs, enhancing alveolar ventilation, or oxygenation, or optimizing the breathing pattern. Short-acting bronchodilators possess a half-life of 3 to 6 hours, while longer-acting bronchodilators possess a half-life of 18 to 24 hours. The treatment of infection usually includes the administration of antibiotics by a systemic route, like intravenous or oral. However, pulmonary infections can also be accessed by inhalation of antibiotics owing to the infection being more directly accessible through the airways, making inhalation delivery basically topical administration. This technique provides deposition of great antimicrobial concentrations directly at the site of infection, however, with a possibly decreased systemic exposure. There is proof for the application of aerosolized antibiotics for the treatment of numerous conditions like cystic fibrosis (CF), which has evolved into the standard of care for chronic infection, as well as non-CF bronchiectasis, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, and ventilator-associated infection where such therapy does not have a certified indication however has been utilized with expanding frequency. The soaring applications of pulmonary medications are therefore driving the growth of the Pulmonary Drugs Market during the forecast period 2022-2027.

Pulmonary Drugs Market Challenges

Challenges Of Inhalable Medications Are Hampering The Growth Of The Pulmonary Drugs Market:

Inhalable formulations present a challenge. They need to be stable at room temperature, effectively delivered in a reproducible dose, and simple to apply. Formulation problems involve drug absorption, particle size, models for toxicology parameters, and patient compliance. Numerous determinants are influencing the deposition of drug particles in the respiratory tract, like inertia, gravitational sedimentation, and Brownian motion. Lungs possess a huge surface area, making them perfect for drug absorption. They are constituted of two distinct parts, the cartilage-lined tracheobronchial tree and the thin-walled alveolar sacs lined by a dense capillary network, constituting 95% of the whole. However, therapeutics delivered to the lungs to treat lung conditions require to remain inside the lungs instead of being absorbed, owing to their considerable negative impacts on the gut, the heart, the brain, and the blood vessels. Drugs conveyed as aerosols by way of MDIs or DPIs need to have the correct range of particle size. This is owing to this parameter being critical to the deposition of the suitable dose, and the delivery of the drug to the correct location. If the particles are large (>10 m), the aerosol will come to rest on the oropharynx and larynx owing to inertia, while if the size is between 2–5 m, the particles come to rest on the central airways. Tiny particles (0.5–2 m) will arrive at the peripheral airways. If too tiny (below 0.5 m), they flow about without settling and depart the lungs with the ensuing breath. These issues are thus hampering the growth of the Pulmonary Drugs Market.
