This market research report includes a detailed segmentation of the nebulizers and inhalers market – nebulizers (ultrasonic nebulizers [pneumatic {breath-enhanced and breath-actuated}, mesh nebulizers [active and passive mesh nebulizers]) and inhalers (dry powder inhaler and meter dose inhaler), end-users (hospitals, ambulatory care centers, and home care), and regions (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World).

Research Overview

Infoholic Research predicts that the global nebulizers and inhalers market will grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period 2019–2025. The emergence of inhaled drug therapy could be more advantageous for patients with chronic respiratory conditions, such as COPD and asthma, due to its painless and flexible administration when compared to injections. The rising prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases is a significant factor fueling the growth of the market.

According to the global asthma report, asthma kills around 1000 people every day and affects as many as 339 million people, and prevalence is still rising, especially in low- and middle-income countries due to little awareness, which disproportionally witnesses the most severe cases. Also, lowered immunity among the geriatric population makes them more susceptible to pollution and infectious agents that cause respiratory disorders. According to the estimations by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations (UN DESA), the global population aged above 60 years was 962 million in 2017, which is projected to reach nearly 2.1 billion by 2050. Technological advancements with the development of an innovative solution in mesh nebulizers will drive the growth of the market in the future. Hospitals formed the largest end-user segment due to the availability of advanced medical equipment and well-educated medical professionals. North America has the largest market share due to a higher adaptation rate, a fast-moving lifestyle, and increasing respiratory incidents due to climate and pollution.

Besides, the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases coupled with the rising demand for treatment measures is spurring the respiratory care devices market growth. Moreover, the presence of established infrastructure coupled with the availability of well-developed technologies that allow early implementation of advanced technology increases the size of the respiratory care devices market to an extent. Government initiatives toward improvising standard healthcare infrastructure and increased focus on healthcare expenditure are helping these countries to focus on offering high quality healthcare. Apart from this, Eastern European governments and respiratory care associations are working hard to promote the advanced respiratory treatments available in the market.

However, few of the manufacturing defects and low awareness are expected to affect the market growth. Also, the intense competition in the market alongside the cost associated with the device is expected to negatively impact on the market growth. Mergers & acquisitions are helping in geographical expansion. Many companies are adopting new features in their product portfolio to gain more attention in the market and open up opportunities to engage new patients. For instance, TOBI Podhaler by Novartis is portable and requires no nebulizer, refrigeration, or power source to deliver the medicine and is the first and only dry powder inhaled antibacterial in the US approved by FDA.

Increasing demand for nebulizers and inhalers with innovative features and better patience compliance is creating awareness among the population.

Segmentation by Product Type:

  • Nebulizers – ultrasonic, pneumatic (breath-enhanced and breath-actuated), and mesh nebulizers (active and passive mesh nebulizers)
  • Inhalers – dry powder inhaler and meter dose inhaler

Nebulizers are used to convert liquid medication into the mist to help in smooth inhalation deep into the respiratory system. This provides instant relief for asthma, cystic fibrosis, COPD, and many other respiratory conditions. Pneumatic nebulizers accounted for a maximum share in 2018, followed by mesh nebulizers.

The inhaler segment has negligible market share and is currently focusing more on smart inhalers and effective therapy for patients. Advancements in technology, especially digitalization and usage of apps & Bluetooth for easy access and monitoring have leveraged the demand for inhalers in the market.

Segmentation by End-users:

  • Hospitals
  • Ambulatory Care Centers
  • Home Care

In 2018, home care was leading with maximum revenue in the global nebulizers and inhalers market with large volumes of units being sold globally.

Segmentation by Region:

  • North America
  • EMEA
  • APAC
  • RoW

The regions covered in the report include North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. North America is set to be the leading region in the global nebulizers and inhalers market, followed by Europe. Asia Pacific and RoW are set to be the emerging regions. The emerging markets have a high potential to grow owing to an increase in the patient population and focus toward respiratory disorders. The global nebulizers and inhalers market is likely to seek a steady penetration rate in the emerging market, and most of the vendors are targeting to penetrate India, China, Thailand, and Vietnam markets. Further, driving factors such as large patient population and government initiatives have become a new trend in the emerging markets. According to WHO, India has an estimated 15–20 million asthmatics, and in 2016, it accounted for 10% of the global asthma patients. However, the high cost of nebulizers & inhalers, lack of proper reimbursement policies, and lack of awareness about advanced products in the developing countries will have a significant impact on the overall market growth.

Competitive Analysis – The competition among leading vendors is due to the availability of a wide range of nebulizers and inhalers with different brand names in the market. The market is highly competitive, with all the players competing to gain market stronghold. Intense competition, rapid advancements in technology, frequent changes in government policies, and fluctuating prices are the key factors that confront the market. The vendors have strong focus on understanding the customer base by creating awareness and initiatives to generate knowledge about their products and upcoming technologically advanced nebulizers and inhalers. The vendors have a strong focus on acquiring smaller companies and expanding their business operations by leveraging their product portfolio globally. The competition is growing among the healthcare service providers – hospitals, physicians’ clinics, and home care where the customer groups are being consolidated for adopting different nebulizers and inhalers. Most of the companies focus on developing products in less time and fasten the regulation process with effective means to commercialize the product early into the market to stay dominant.
