Market outlook of the global pulmonary hypertension market
Pulmonary hypertension is an example of a rare disease that affects arteries carrying blood to the lungs. The narrowing, or blockage of these arteries results in pulmonary hypertension. The recent increase in the sales of ERAs that gained global acceptance due to its oral mode of administration is expected to aid this market in surpassing USD 4 billion by 2019.
Technavio’s market research analyst has estimated the Americas to account for more than 52% of the total market share by 2019. This region’s high market share can be attributed to factors such as the increasing focus on combination therapies and the recent increase in the number of geriatric population in this region during the forecast period.

Formulation-based segmentation of the pulmonary hypertension market
- Oral
- Injection
- Inhalation
In this market analysis, Technavio’s market research analysts have estimated the oral segment to account for more than 70% of the total market share by 2019. This segment dominates the market as many companies prefer developing oral formulations as it does not involve widespread animal, and human efficacy and safety studies.
Segmentation by mechanism of action and analysis of the pulmonary hypertension market
- Endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs)
- Prostacyclin analogs
- Phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDE)
- Soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators (sGC)
The ERA segment accounts for almost 60% of the total market share by 2019 and aids in reducing high blood pressure by suppressing the pulmonary constriction. As endothelin is a 21-amino acid peptide involved in pulmonary vasoconstriction, drugs acting on them bind to ET-A and B receptors and reduce constriction.
