Inhalable Drugs Market: Overview

Oral and injectable drugs are widely used therapies across the globe. However, use of inhalation route of administration is gaining momentum in the market for delivery of peptide, proteins and other drugs. Pulmonary delivery of systemic drug therapies is widely used for treating mainly refractory ailments and chronic diseases. Inhaled drugs are mainly used in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, to avoid active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) exposure to harsh environment conditions and gastrointestinal tract enzymes.

The demand for inhalable drugs market is driven by increasing prevalence of chronic non-respiratory diseases like diabetes, infectious diseases, Parkinson’s disease and chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD), asthma etc. Additionally, increasing geriatric population across the globe, technological advancements, increasing R&D spending to bring novel inhalation therapy drugs using nanoparticles, nanocrystals, surfactant carriers are other important factors that boost the market growth. The novel therapy helps in increased systemic availability of drugs and can be conveniently administered over invasive methods, minimal toxicity, and improved drug interactions. However, high cost of inhalable drugs may limit the market growth over the forecast period. Emerging markets with increasing aging population and unmet medical needs are expected to bring growth opportunities over the forecast period for global inhalable drugs market.
