Key Highlights
- The analyst projects that among the total diagnosed prevalent cases of asthma in 7MM approximately 47% of cases were from the US in 2022. The increase in asthma cases is likely due to a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental factors like air pollution and allergens, changes in lifestyle, and improved awareness and diagnosis.
- In 2022, the adult population constituted 80% of total diagnosed asthma cases across the 7MM, reflecting the greater prevalence of asthma among adults due to factors such as prolonged exposure to environmental triggers and untreated childhood asthma persisting into adulthood.
- The projection that severity-specific intermittent asthma cases will surpass other categories by 2034 suggests a potential trend towards improved asthma management and prevention strategies, leading to fewer severe cases. This underscores the importance of early detection and targeted interventions to mitigate disease progression and reduce healthcare burden.
- As asthma prevalence evolves, understanding emerging environmental and genetic factors alongside advancements in medical interventions will be pivotal in shaping future prevalence rates and guiding effective prevention and management strategies.

Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
Asthma Overview
Asthma, a prevalent non-communicable disease (NCD), impacts individuals across all age groups, with children being particularly vulnerable as it stands as the most common chronic condition among them. The manifestation of asthma symptoms, including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, results from inflammation and narrowing of the small airways in the lungs. Additionally, avoiding triggers associated with asthma can further alleviate symptoms.The burden of asthma-related deaths predominantly falls on low- and lower-middle-income countries, where challenges like under-diagnosis and under-treatment persist. The World Health Organization (WHO) is dedicated to enhancing asthma diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring to alleviate the global NCD burden and progress towards achieving universal health coverage.
Asthma Diagnosis
Diagnosing asthma involves gathering a comprehensive medical history, conducting a physical examination, and performing lung function tests like spirometry. While these methods aid in identifying characteristic symptoms and airflow obstruction, challenges such as variability in symptoms and overlap with other conditions can complicate diagnosis. Additionally, limitations in access to healthcare and diagnostic resources may contribute to under-diagnosis, particularly in marginalized communities. Efforts to improve asthma diagnosis include refining diagnostic criteria, enhancing access to testing, and promoting awareness among healthcare providers.Asthma Epidemiology
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by the Total Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Asthma, Age-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Asthma, Gender-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Asthma, Severity-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Asthma, and Type-specific Diagnosed Prevalent Cases of Severe Asthma in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.As per estimations, the total diagnosed prevalent cases of Asthma in the 7MM were around 54 million in 2022 and are projected to increase during the forecast period (2023-2034).
- There were approximately 26 million diagnosed prevalent cases of Asthma estimated to have occurred in the US in 2022. These cases are anticipated to grow in the foreseeable future during the study period.
- In 2022, EU4 and the UK accounted for nearly 25 million diagnosed prevalent population of asthma, projected to increase at a significant CAGR by 2034. Among EU4 and the UK, the UK accounted for the highest number of diagnosed asthma cases in 2022.
- Age-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of Asthma is categorized into pediatric and adults, with 5 million and about 20 million cases respectively in the US in 2022.
- The categorization based on gender, showed that diagnosed prevalent cases in female was higher than that in males. The female diagnosed prevalent cases accounted for 56% of the total cases in 2022.
- In the Japan, the intermittent, mild, moderate, and severe cases of asthma were over 2 million, 0.5 million, 0.8 million, and 0.6 million cases, respectively, in 2022.
- Type-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of Severe Asthma was segmented into type-2 inflammation and non-type-2 inflammation, among which the type-2 inflammation has a higher prevalence in 2022.
