Asthma Treatment Market Statistics

Market Overview

Asthma is managed with rescue inhalers to treat symptoms and controller inhalers that prevent symptoms. Some asthma cases demand longer-acting inhalers that keep the airways open and inhalant steroids. In asthma, the airways get narrowed and swelled and may produce extra mucus. Asthma makes breathing difficult and triggers coughing. It can interfere with daily activities and may result in life-threatening asthma attacks. It can't be cured, but its symptoms can be controlled. The signs and symptoms of asthma are breath shortness, chest tightness or pain, wheezing when exhaling, trouble sleeping due to shortness of breath, wheezing, etc. Some asthma attacks can be life-threatening.

Asthma treatment involves a diagnosis in which the doctor performs a physical exam to rule out other possible conditions, like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Treatment involves recognizing triggers, avoiding them, and tracking breathing to ensure asthma medications control symptoms. Some medications, such as fluticasone propionate, budesonide, ciclesonide, beclomethasone (Qvar Redihaler), mometasone, and fluticasone furoate, are used to control, prevent, and treat asthma.

  • A report published by the World Health Organization (WHO) on "The Global Impact of Respiratory Disease " estimated that an estimated 334 million individuals have asthma. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), during the coronavirus pandemic, people with moderate to severe asthma were at a greater risk of acute respiratory disease.

Report Highlights of the Asthma Treatment Market

  • Based on medication, the long-term control medication segment dominated the market with the largest share in 2023 due to the increasing prevalence of asthma, rising geriatric population, growing popularity of long-acting inhalers, and high healthcare expenditure.
