Major trends in the forecast period include sustainable manufacturing practices, remote monitoring and compliance tools, patient-centric inhalation solutions, respiratory inhalation vaccines, customizable dosage respules.

The increasing incidence of respiratory disorders is expected to drive the growth of the respules market in the coming years. Respiratory disorders encompass a range of lung diseases and conditions, including tuberculosis, lung cancer, pulmonary hypertension, mesothelioma, cystic fibrosis, emphysema, and asthma. Respules are effective in treating various respiratory issues, such as bronchial asthma, emphysema, spasmodic stenosis, and excessive bronchial mucus production. For instance, in December 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that in 2022, 2.5% of the population (approximately 638,100 individuals) had COPD, with similar rates observed in males (2.4%) and females (2.6%). Additionally, current daily smokers were significantly more likely to have COPD (8.1%) compared to ex-smokers (4.4%) and non-smokers (1.6%). Therefore, the rise in respiratory disorders is driving the growth of the respules market.

The rising levels of air pollution are expected to drive the growth of the respules market in the coming years. Air pollution refers to the presence of harmful substances, pollutants, or contaminants in the atmosphere that can negatively impact human health, the environment, and the climate. Respules often contain medications such as bronchodilators, which help relax the airways and ease breathing, or corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation and swelling. These treatments can alleviate symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, often exacerbated by exposure to air pollution. For instance, in April 2024, Gov.UK reported that the average number of days with 'Moderate' or higher pollution levels in urban areas rose to 9 days in 2022 and has remained consistent in 2023. During this period, nitrogen dioxide contributed an average of 0 days of 'Moderate' or higher pollution, while sulphur dioxide accounted for less than 1 day. Thus, the increase in air pollution is significantly driving the growth of the respules market.

Major companies in the respules market are increasingly focusing on developing innovative products that enhance drug delivery, improve patient compliance, and optimize therapeutic efficacy. Novel pharmaceutical products refer to new and innovative medications or drug formulations that significantly differ from existing treatments. These may include unique active ingredients, novel drug combinations, or advanced delivery systems aimed at improving efficacy, safety, or patient adherence. For instance, in January 2023, Lupin Limited, an India-based pharmaceutical company, launched DIFIZMA, a novel fixed-dose triple drug combination designed to treat inadequately controlled asthma. This formulation combines Indacaterol, a long-acting beta-agonist; Glycopyrronium, a long-acting muscarinic receptor antagonist; and Mometasone Furoate, an inhaled corticosteroid. Together, these components improve lung function and provide better symptom control, while also reducing the frequency of asthma exacerbations. This not only enhances overall patient quality of life but also lowers the risk of hospitalization.

Leading companies in the respules market are also engaging in strategic partnerships to fortify their market positions and introduce innovative products. Collaborations and partnerships in this market facilitate broader market reach, expanded distribution networks, and heightened research and development initiatives, thereby contributing to the success and growth of respiratory medication products. For instance, in July 2023, Viatris Inc., a US-based pharmaceutical company, collaborated with Kindeva Drug Delivery L.P., a US-based pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), to jointly launch Breyna (budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate) Inhalation Aerosol. As the first FDA-approved generic version of AstraZeneca's Symbicort for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Breyna offers accessible and cost-effective treatment options for individuals facing respiratory challenges. Available in 80 mcg/4.5 mcg and 160 mcg/4.5 mcg dosage strengths, Breyna addresses the maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction, reduces exacerbations in COPD patients, and manages asthma symptoms in patients six years and older.

In February 2022, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, an India-based pharmaceutical company, collaborated with AstraZeneca, a UK-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology company, to commercialize Pulmicort Respules in Colombia. As part of this agreement, AstraZeneca retains the production and registration ownership of Pulmicort Respules, ensuring continued and expanded access to this essential treatment for people living with asthma in Colombia.
