The global nebulizer market size is expected to reach USD 1.5 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising incidence rate of chronic respiratory diseases, increasing demand for home healthcare devices, and rising geriatric population worldwide are the major factors leading to market growth.
According to the Population Reference Bureau report, “Aging in the United States”, the geriatric population in U.S. is estimated to increase from 48 million in 2016 to 98 million by 2060. Elderly people are susceptible to respiratory diseases such as COPD and sleep apnea. Therefore, growing geriatric population is expected to expand the patient pool for manufacturers and propel the growth of the market.
On the other hand, drug loss during nebulization is the major factor restraining the market. However, this can also act as an opportunity for the mesh nebulizer manufacturers as the devices are manufactured to deliver accurate drug dosage while reduce drug loss. Furthermore, increasing commercial acceptance of mesh nebulizers due to accurate delivery of drug to the lung and lower residual volumes also aids in market growth.
Technological advancements such as drug-device combination is further expected to create new opportunity in the market. The key manufacturers are expected to dominate the market of drug device combinations till the generic mesh nebulizer manufacturers invest in the support infrastructure required for the development of new pharmaceuticals. For instance, in 2016, Sunovion filed the first application for the approval of SUN-101. A mesh nebulizer in combination with a drug for COPD (SUN-101) will be a significant step for boosting the adoption of nebulizers. Other companies such as Vectura also have products in late stage development, e.g., VR475, indicated for severe asthma, in Phase III trials.
North America commanded over 35.0% share of the market in 2019 owing to growing respiratory disorders and efforts by the government such as favorable reimbursement scenario, rise in customer awareness, and well-established healthcare infrastructure. Furthermore, introduction of technologically advanced devices and favorable reimbursement scenario in this region are expected to fuel market growth in this region.
However, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market over the forecast period owing to large geriatric population, increasing focus on preventive care, and government initiatives promoting technological innovations. For instance, according to Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, in 2017, COPD is the seventh most common cause of death in the country.
