Prevalence of Chronic Respiratory Disease Boost the Market Growth

Increased prevalence of chronic respiratory disease within the population due to rising levels of pollution primarily drives the market growth. Chronic respiratory disease affects the airways and other parts of the lungs. For instance, according to NIH estimation, 23% COPD cases will rise among 600 million population by 2050. However, around 47.1% new cases are expected to increase in females and double in low and middle-income countries due to poor working conditions and lack of symptom awareness. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is one of the commonly inherited COPD, common in females between 30-60 years of age. In addition, according to the report published by WHO, in November 2023, tobacco smoking is one of the leading causes of COPD, due to tobacco smoking more than 70% of cases of COPD are observed in high-income countries, and 30-40% COPD cases in middle-income countries with pollution from household being another important risk factor. In addition to smoke of cigarette, presence of dust, the overweight and physically unfit individual is more prone to the risk of developing respiratory diseases.

However, a dry powder inhaler comes as preventive care and it is a valuable option for asthma and COPD patients, by contributing a medicated target drug delivery system to lungs, with a 200-dose holding capacity, allowing use for a longer period of time and maximizing therapeutic effect with instant action. These are easy to use compared to conventional inhalers present in the market with less exacerbation effect on patients and are more environment friendly due to the absence of a chemical propeller that contains chlorofluorocarbon, making it more effective Therefore, becoming patients’ common choice and boosting the market growth.

Increasing Development Demand in Dry Powder Inhaler and Government Collaboration Drives the Market Growth

Increasing demand for dry powder inhaler is attributed to the rising prevalence of long-term respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis, asthma, and chronic- obstructive pulmonary disease owing to market expansion. For instance, according to the report published by NIH, in 2022, 1 in 3500 individuals are affected by cystic fibrosis, one of the most common causes of death in end-stage lung disease. Therefore, due to the rising demand of more innovative inhalers, many pharmaceutical companies and industries are announcing clinical collaborations to accelerate the development of inhalers. For instance, in April 2024, Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd and Abingworth announced a collaboration to advance TEV-‘248, a dual-action combination of an inhaled corticosteroid and short-acting beta-agonist( ICS/SABA).

In this collaboration, Abingworth proposed US$150 million to Teva for research and development and it is expected to maintain SABA and underuse of inhaled corticosteroids in mild asthma patients. In addition, this market is continuously evolving with new advancements, to develop low-cost, simple and eco-friendly dry powder inhalers. For instance, in November 2023, 1nhaler a Scotland-based start-up raised US$ 2.5 million to develop single use dry powder inhaler, made up of a breathable cardboard-based membrane with dimensions as credit card, capable of delivering a specific drug to patients, and is estimated to be one of the most potential and simplest disposable inhalers at low cost, leading to increase opportunities to market players and driving the growth of market.

Increasing Advancement in Health Sector Hampering the Expansion of Dry Powder Market

Moisture sensitive nature of dry powder inhalers is one of the factors that hinders the market growth, as these are required to be kept in dry conditions away from humidity as there is high chance of particle clumping inside the inhaler due to the presence of saliva and water during exhalation process resulting in incapable to inhale properly and unaccountable for emergency situations. In addition, these are medicine-based inhalers, causing trouble for old-age patients in deep and quick inhaling as its delivery depends upon the amount of force applied during breathing, up to 70% of old-age patients are unable to inhale forcefully enough to active the inhaler, resulting forceful breathing may cause complications.

However, with increasing medical facilities maximum patients are adopting treatments resulting in increasing competition between market players to develop new innovative inhaler. New innovative inhalers led to rise in cost, which makes it difficult to afford in low and middle-income countries and hampers the growth of the market. Additionally, the presence of lactose in some of the dry powder inhalers increases the chances of developing allergies among lactose intolerant individuals led to a subsequent shift to standard inhalers. These factors limit the use of dry powder inhalers resulting slow market growth.

Growing Demand for Advanced Dry Powder Inhaler Fuels the Market Growth

The Increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases among the population is driving the need for more accurate, quicker and precise inhalers in the market. For instance, in March 2023, Berry Global launched Berryhaler a dry powder inhaler to relieve COPD, asthma and other respiratory diseases, it offers ready to use dual chamber dose counter design that delivers 30 doses of double and triple customized formulations to the patient, in addition, to maintain the hygiene of the medication it is present with rotatable bidirectional mouthpiece cover, preventing overdose or under dosage of medication and resulting in accurate and safe dose.

Furthermore, according to WHO COPD is the seventh leading cause of death in the world due to poor health, with more progressive innovations and rising needs of preventive measures among COPD patients are increasing leading to an increase in the demand for new and alternative medicated inhalers in the market. It is a long-term inflammation condition that damages the lung tissue and results in breathing difficulties. For instance, in August 2023, Lupin launched the Tiotropium Dry Powder inhaler, which contains Tiotropium Bromide Inhalation Powder to treat COPD including chronic bronchitis, emphysema and more, enabling more airflow in bronchial tubes and allowing easier breathing. Inhalers are the greatest rescue supporter during emergency situations until get the system well managed.
