Market Overview:
Pulmonary drug delivery systems are devices used for direct delivery of drugs to the lungs for local and systemic action. It includes nebulizers, inhalers, dry powder inhalers (DPI), metered dose inhalers (MDI) and other devices. Products are used for treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Market Dynamics:
The Pulmonary Drug Delivery Systems market is primarily driven by rising prevalence of respiratory diseases globally. As per WHO estimates, over 300 million people suffer from asthma and 65 million from COPD worldwide. Growing geriatric population is also another driver as older people are more susceptible to respiratory infections and diseases. Moreover, technologically advanced inhalers that are portable, easy to use and provide targeted drug delivery are gaining popularity over conventional devices. However, high costs of pneumatic and electronic inhalers along with lack of disease awareness in developing nations are some of the challenges restraining the market growth.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Pulmonary drug delivery systems offer direct delivery of drugs to the lungs, improving efficacy of drugs. It minimizes systemic side effects and provides improved pharmacokinetics. The devices are user-friendly and portable.
Weakness: Complex nature of developing new therapeutic molecules and dosage forms leads to high development costs. Regulatory hurdles and lengthy approval process adds to the costs. Adherence to therapy can be challenging for certain patient groups.
Opportunity: Rising incidence of respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD presents an opportunity. Growing geriatric population prone to such conditions will drive the market. Technological advancements enable development of smart nebulizers and inhalers.
Threats: Expiry of patents increases competition from generic drugs. Strong pipeline of alternative drug delivery routes can divert attention away from pulmonary route. Stringent regulatory framework and product recalls affect company revenues and brand image negatively.
