Bronchodilators are medications that help open up the airways in the lungs to allow for easier breathing. They work by relaxing and dilating the smooth muscles surrounding the bronchial tubes, thus reducing wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath and other symptoms associated with respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Bronchodilators may be either short-acting used as short-term relief from sudden, unexpected attacks of breathlessness or long-acting used regularly to help control breathlessness in asthma and COPD, and increase the effectiveness of corticosteroids in asthma. Anticholinergics (also known as antimuscarinics) are mainly used to treat COPD, but a few can also be used for asthma. Anticholinergics cause the airways to widen by blocking the cholinergic nerves. The side effects of bronchodilators can vary, depending on the specific medication. General side effects of bronchodilators include trembling, particularly in the hands, headache, muscle cramps, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, etc.

Market Dynamics:

The global bronchodilators market growth is driven by factors such as the growing geriatric population which is more susceptible to respiratory diseases, increased environmental pollution levels in both urban and rural areas, and rising awareness about proper management of asthma and COPD. However, availability of alternative treatment options, side effects associated with long term use of bronchodilators, and patent expires of blockbuster drugs are some of the key factors expected to restrain market growth. Development of combination therapies that can deliver two or more drugs simultaneously is opening new opportunities for players in this market. Moreover, greater emphasis on preventive inhalation therapies for better management of respiratory symptoms will drive future demand.
