The global aerosol delivery devices market was valued at $31,464 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $46,729 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 4.9% from 2020 to 2027.
Aerosol delivery devices are used as rescue therapy or permanent treatment for respiratory diseases and non-respiratory diseases. It is the most advanced mode of drug administration treatment in which a drug is directly delivered to lungs to offer a systemic effect. Aerosol delivery devices are frequently used in treatment of asthma and COPD, which includes dry powder inhalers, metered dose inhalers, and nebulizers. Moreover, these devices are used in non-respiratory diseases such as diabetes, analgesia, and Parkinson’s disease.
Increase in prevalence of respiratory diseases such as COPD asthma and cystic fibrosis; surge in focus of manufacturers toward development of portable inhalation devices; increase in need for rescue medication treatment during sudden asthmatic attack; rise in demand for short-term, effective medication for asthma, and COPD; and government initiatives toward spread in awareness for COPD and asthma symptoms are the major factors that drive growth of the aerosol delivery devices market. In addition, rise in geriatric population, technological advancements in inhaler devices, rise in adoption of aerosol delivery devices by patients, rise in urbanization and pollution levels, and increase in number of R&D activities to develop ideal inhalation therapy are some other factors that contribute toward growth of the market. However, complications and side-effects associated with drug inhalation and high cost associated with nebulizers are expected to hinder growth of the market.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on January 30, 2020 declared COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. COVID-19 has affected around 210 countries across the globe. According to a paper published by the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI), in 2020, asthma and COPD patients appear to have increased their adherence to inhalation medications during the COVID-19. Moreover, some parts of developed countries such as the U.S. and the UK are experiencing shortages of bronchodilator inhalers such as albuterol inhalers, as hospitals are utilizing them for COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, according to data provided by the National Health Service (NHS) in 2020, number of salbutamol inhalers prescribed by general practitioners (GP) in England raised by 63% between February 2020 and March 2020. Thus, COVID-19 infection uplifted growth and opportunities for manufacturers of aerosol delivery devices during the forecast period.
