Respiratory Drugs Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The need for sustainable and safe respiratory drugs is notably driving the respiratory drugs market growth, although factors such as the high cost of conducting clinical trials in respiratory disorders may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the respiratory drugs industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Respiratory Drugs Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global respiratory drugs industry growth is the need for sustainable and safe respiratory drugs. Globally, respiratory diseases are the leading cause of death, with COPD as the third cause of death in western Europe and the fourth globally. Despite the presence of effective therapies, numerous patients globally live with poorly controlled respiratory diseases and have a low quality of life. Over the past 40 years, there have been a few new classes of drug therapy introduced for the treatment of respiratory diseases. Leukotriene receptor antagonists are a new class of drugs, but these drugs are not adequately effective in controlling asthma. Overall, drug innovation in respiratory medicine is a pressing issue and will drive respiratory drug market growth during the forecast period.
Key Respiratory Drugs Market Trend
High cost of respiratory disease management is one of the key respiratory drugs market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. Respiratory diseases are a huge burden globally in terms of direct health services costs and indirect costs related to prescribed drugs. The high cost of respiratory disease management has led organizations such as the Lung Foundation Australia to demand support and funding from the government to reduce the cost burden on patients. Moreover, the economic burden of respiratory diseases can be reduced with access to preventive care and early treatment. The British Lung Foundation and the British Thoracic Society opine that cost-effective approaches for the management of respiratory diseases are self-management and patient education. Such factors will further support the respiratory drug market in the coming years.
Key Respiratory Drugs Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global respiratory drugs industry growth is the high cost of conducting clinical trials in respiratory disorders. The incidence of disease in this class has increased rapidly in recent years. According to ClinicalTrials.gov, there are few clinical trial studies of respiratory diseases. There are around 88 active and recruiting Phase I study for asthma treatment and 39 studies for COPD. The cost associated with each phase of a clinical trial restricts the number of clinical trial studies. Approximately USD 115.3 million is spent for each phase of a clinical trial, which includes Phase I, II, III, and IV. Respiratory system studies ranked third in terms of cost spent per a study in clinical trials. Such factors may challenge the respiratory drug market growth in the forecast years.
