A dry powder inhaler (DPI) is a medical device designed for delivering medication in the form of dry powder directly to the lungs. It is primarily used for treating respiratory disorders such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To effectively use a DPI, it is crucial for the user to inhale rapidly and deeply, allowing the medication to reach the lungs.
The main types of dry powder inhalers include single-dose inhalers and multi-dose inhalers. Single-dose inhalers are devices that administer medication directly to the lungs in the form of dry powder. These devices can be either manually operated or digitally operated, and they find applications in treating conditions such as asthma, COPD, cystic fibrosis, and others. Various end-users, including hospitals and clinics, homecare settings, and ambulatory surgical centers, utilize these inhalers.

Major trends in the forecast period include increased research and development, renewed interest in traditional building techniques, advancements in material technology, architectural and design trends, regulatory support for sustainable construction.
The increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases is anticipated to boost the growth of the dry powder inhaler market in the future. Respiratory diseases encompass a wide range of disorders affecting the respiratory system, including various lung diseases. Dry powder inhalers play a critical role in treating respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis by delivering medication directly to the lungs, where it is most effective. This method serves as a promising alternative to traditional drug delivery techniques for respiratory issues. For example, a study published in December 2023 by JAMA Network Open, a medical journal of the American Medical Association, indicates that the global burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is projected to nearly reach 600 million cases worldwide by 2050, reflecting a 23% increase in prevalence. Notably, cases among females are expected to surge by 47.1%, while male cases are projected to rise by only 9.4%. Additionally, the majority of these cases are expected to occur in low- and middle-income regions, where the prevalence is anticipated to be more than double that of high-income areas by 2050. Consequently, the growing prevalence of respiratory diseases will significantly drive the expansion of the dry powder inhaler market.
The increasing levels of air pollution are also anticipated to contribute to the growth of the dry powder inhaler market. Air pollution, measured by the concentration of various pollutants in the atmosphere, leads to respiratory issues, making dry powder inhalers a preferred delivery method for medications that alleviate symptoms and manage respiratory conditions exacerbated by airborne pollutants. In 2022, the United States Environmental Protection Agency reported approximately 66 million tons of pollutants released into the atmosphere in the United States. Additionally, in March 2023, IQAir reported that Iraq was the second most polluted country with 80.1 µg/m3, 16 times higher than the WHO PM2.5 annual guideline in 2022. Therefore, the rising levels of air pollution are expected to drive the growth of the dry powder inhaler market.
Key players in the dry powder inhaler market are focusing on developing innovative products featuring muscarinic antagonists for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) while also expanding their product portfolios. Muscarinic antagonists are drugs that inhibit the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, and they are used to manage various conditions, including COPD and organophosphate poisoning. For example, in March 2024, Berry Global, a US-based company recognized for its development and manufacturing of diverse flexible packaging solutions, unveiled its new dry powder inhaler at Pharma Pack. This inhaler is specifically designed to improve drug delivery for respiratory conditions such as COPD and asthma, providing a customizable solution for pharmaceutical companies.
In August 2024, Aptar Pharma, a US-based specialist in drug delivery, acquired the Orbital Dry Powder Inhaler for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition strengthens Aptar's capabilities in respiratory drug delivery, especially for managing conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Orbital Dry Powder Inhaler is noted for its innovative design, which enhances medication delivery. This acquisition aligns with Aptar Pharma's strategy to expand its product offerings and reinforce its position in the respiratory treatment market. The Orbital DPI operates within the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors in India.
