Asthma Therapeutics Market Growth & Trends:
The global asthma therapeutics market size is expected to reach USD 37.91 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increasing prevalence of asthma coupled with the adoption of biologics as a long-term treatment option to treat the severe form of asthma is expected to offer this market with lucrative growth opportunities. According to the statistics published by the World Allergy Journal, in May 2014, patients suffering from asthma registered around 300 million and the number is expected to soar due to a large number of individuals inclining towards unhealthy dietary habits and sedentary lifestyles.
In addition, patent expiration of branded drugs, such as Singulair, Advair and other major drugs during the forecast period has led to a stiff generic competition, which will negatively impact the asthma therapeutics market growth in the coming years. On the contrary, the introduction of biologics is accruing towards the increasing market share of the asthma therapeutics segment, and is anticipated to continue during the forecast period.
The enhanced demand for personalized medicine approach as opposed to the conventional medication prescription pattern for treatment of severe asthma is anticipated to aid the emergence of asthma therapeutics market in the future. In addition, development of technologically advanced products, such as pressurized metered dose inhalers and smart inhalers, equipped with sensor technology and inbuilt wireless communication system is further expected to propel the asthma therapeutics market growth in the next seven years.
