The market is witnessing growth due to factors such as increasing preference of pulmonary route as an alternate route of drug delivery, rising focus on the development of smart/digital inhalers, and increasing incidence of respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma, and cystic fibrosis.
The respiratory drug delivery market is segmented based on formulations, canister type, applications, end users, and regions. The formulation segment is further divided into device type and formulation type.
The respiratory drug delivery market, by device type, is categorized into metered dose inhalers, dry powder inhalers, and nebulizers. The metered dose inhalers segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market by type of delivery by device, in 2016. Factors such as the efficient absorption of drugs through the lungs and negligible side effects (as drugs are exposed only to the lungs) are contributing to the growth of this segment.
