Market outlook of the global COPD and asthma devices market
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma devices are useful in inhalation therapy and assist in drug delivery by converting drug suspensions or solutions to aerosolized particles. The rising availability of portable drug delivery devices is a significant factor that is responsible for this market’s modest growth rate of nearly 4% by 2019.
In this market research report, Technavio’s analysts estimate factors like the augmented use of home healthcare devices to impel market growth during the forecast period. The development of portable inhalers and nebulizers that provide aerosol therapy to patients help in reducing the duration of hospital stays. Since these devices are reliable and comfortable, their increasing usage will drive the prospects for growth in this market during the forecast period.
