The global aerosol delivery devices market size reached USD 49.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 75.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% during 2025-2033. The market is primarily driven by the rising rates of respiratory illnesses, improvements in inhalation technology, growing geriatric population, rising healthcare costs, and a growing global awareness regarding the availability of customized medicine.

Aerosol delivery devices are used in drug delivery and treating respiratory disorders, such as asthma, obstructive lung diseases, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension, infectious pulmonary. They lower dosage requirements, reduce systemic adverse effects and improve the ability of patients to self-administer medication. Some of the commonly available aerosol delivery devices are pressurized metered-dose inhalers, nebulizers, and valved holder chambers. At present, smart aerosol drug delivery devices are used in non-respiratory conditions, such as diabetes, analgesia, thyroid disorders, and genetic diseases, due to the advent of novel macromolecular medications.

Aerosol Delivery Devices Market Trends:

The global outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) that leads to acute respiratory infections among patients represents one of the key factors driving the need for aerosol delivery devices. These devices assist in treating obstructive airway diseases at home and in healthcare settings. Apart from this, the rising prevalence of chronic respiratory infections due to surging air pollution levels, allergens and occupational risks, and the increasing number of individuals who smoke tobacco and drink is propelling the market growth. Moreover, a considerable rise in the geriatric population, which is more vulnerable to developing serious health illnesses, is positively influencing the demand for portable inhalation devices that are convenient and economical. Besides this, market players are developing novel aerosol delivery devices that help treat chronic inflammation and infection in the lungs and improve airway clearance in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Furthermore, they are offering mini ultrasonic nebulizers and inhalers through e-commerce channels that have automatic memory and are easy to use while traveling. This, in confluence with the escalating demand for personalized drug therapy and the increasing use of online channels for purchasing medical supplies, is driving the market.
