Global Bronchitis Treatment Market - 2022-2029

Global Bronchitis Treatment Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

The global bronchitis treatment market size was valued at US$ XX million in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of XX % during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tube lining, transporting air to and from the lungs. Bronchitis causes thickened mucus to be coughed up, which can be discolored. Bronchitis can be acute or chronic.

Market Dynamics

The factors influencing the bronchitis treatment market are the rising pollution levels and the increasing prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The rising level of pollution is expected to drive the global bronchitis treatment market in the forecast period

Chronic bronchitis is a common clinical condition marked by persistent cough and sputum production for at least 3 months over two or more years. Estimates of prevalence in the general adult population range from 3.5 to 27%. Bronchitis is caused by inhaling infectious or physicochemical agents through the airway. Environmental factors play a role in the progression of bronchitis.

In all studies, chronic bronchitis symptoms were more common in areas with higher particulate air pollution. Prospective studies in a larger number of geographical areas are needed to confirm that current urban air pollution is linked to the occurrence of chronic bronchitis. Sulfates, carbon materials, nitrates, trace elements, and water are the main components of particulate matter. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and respirable particulate matter diameter less than 10 microns (PM10) are the most blamed pollutants for contamination and health effects. As a result, they are considered first in routine measurements. Annual Arithmetic Mean for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) 0:03 ppm(80g/m3), 24-hour limit is 0:14 ppm (365g/m3), Suspended Particulate Matter (PM10) limit value for the annual arithmetic average is 50 g/m3, boundary value for 24 hours is 150g/m3 according to NAAQS (National Ambient Air Quality Standards). Air pollution has a greater impact on children than it does on adults. Because the lungs continue to develop until six to eight, 80 percent of alveoli form after birth.

The problems associated with bronchitis treatment are expected to hamper the market growth

Lack of approved bronchitis drugs, strict regulatory policies, high costs associated with research and development, and preference for alternative treatment options are factors limiting the growth of the bronchitis treatment market over the forecast period. Treatment costs rise as the disease progresses, and other factors such as age, chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, exacerbations, and other admissions are considered. The average annual cost per patient with bronchitis was €4,671.00 in a study conducted in Spain, and this cost doubled with each increase in severity. Moreover, the side effects associated with the drugs are expected to hamper the market growth. For instance, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are the most common bronchitis side effects. Weight gain and mood swings are possible side effects of some drug classes, such as corticosteroids, while bronchodilators can cause heart palpitations and upset stomach.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a reduction in patient visits, reducing the number of patients seeking bronchitis treatment, affecting the market growth. For instance, according to a September 2020 article titled Reduction in ambulatory visits for acute, uncomplicated bronchitis: an unintended but welcome result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an overall net reduction in ambulatory adults seeking care for bronchitis in the health system while challenging many other aspects of antimicrobial stewardship. As a result, during the early stages of the pandemic, COVID-19 had a negative impact on the market.

Segment Analysis

The bronchodilators segment is expected to dominate the market growth in the forecast period

The bronchodilator segment is expected to account for a significant market. Bronchodilators are medications that open the airway passages and expand the windpipe, making it easier to breathe for people with lung infections, bronchial asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Bronchodilators are the first-line treatment for bronchitis because they clear the airway obstruction, an important parameter in chronic bronchitis patients' breathing.

Furthermore, major factors driving the market segment's growth include the rising incidence of respiratory diseases, the rising prevalence of smoking, and the rising number of product approvals. As the number of respiratory diseases rises, the demand for bronchodilators is expected to rise. For instance, according to a February 2022 article published by the National Center for Bio, Acute Bronchitis, it is estimated that 5% of the general population suffers from acute bronchitis each year, resulting in more than 10 million office visits. As a result, as the prevalence of bronchitis rises, so does the demand for bronchitis treatment. On 14th February 2022, the US FDA approved Lupin Limited's generic version of Brovana (arformoterol tartrate) for treating bronchoconstriction in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (COPD). Brovana's active ingredient is a bronchodilator, which causes the airways to relax and widen, reducing bronchoconstriction.

Geographical Analysis

North America region is expected to hold the largest market share in the global bronchitis treatment market

The increase in the incidence of bronchitis, a rising smoking trend among the young generation, and an increase in the number of strategic initiatives taken by market players are expected to drive market growth. For instance, according to the CDC, 5% of adults in the United States were diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, or chronic emphysema in 2020, according to a February 2022 update. As a result, COPD is linked to bronchitis, so there is a high demand for bronchitis treatment. On 4th June 2021, Lupin launched Arformoterol, a generic inhalation product, to treat chronic bronchitis in the United States market. As a result of these developments, more such products are expected to be developed and approved to treat bronchitis, boosting the country's market growth in the coming years.
