What external factors are influencing the pulmonary or respiratory drug delivery market’s growth momentum?
The increasing prevalence of pneumonia is expected to propel the growth of the pulmonary or respiratory drug delivery market going forward. Pneumonia is a lung infection that causes inflammation of the air sacs, which may fill with fluid or pus, leading to symptoms like cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. The increasing prevalence of pneumonia such as aging populations, weakened immune systems, respiratory infections, air pollution, smoking, and the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Pulmonary or respiratory drug delivery helps pneumonia patients by directly targeting the lungs with medications, such as antibiotics, bronchodilators, or anti-inflammatory agents, enabling faster and more effective treatment to alleviate symptoms, reduce inflammation, clear infections, and improve respiratory function, ultimately enhancing recovery and preventing complications. For instance, in November 2023, according to the Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health, a UK-based leader in healthcare research, pneumonia cases in Kenya rose significantly, reaching 793,864 in 2022/2023. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of pneumonia drives the pulmonary or respiratory drug delivery market.
