The global dry powder inhaler market is on a steady growth path, with a projected valuation of USD 20.83 billion in 2024. The market is expected to expand significantly, reaching USD 29.95 billion by 2034, driven by a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.70% over the next decade.
This growth trajectory reflects the increasing adoption of dry powder inhalers as a preferred method for delivering respiratory medications. The market’s expansion is supported by ongoing advancements in DPI technology, improved patient compliance, and the rising prevalence of respiratory conditions.
hallenges Regarding Varying Characteristics of Dry Powder Inhalers to Pave Opportunities for Medical Device Manufacturers
Regulatory pressures and changes in the drug delivery market have driven the innovation of the dry powder inhaler forward.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 300 million people worldwide are affected by asthma, and approximately 240 Mn by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Over half of these patients combined prefer the use of dry powder inhalers for the treatment of their disease.
These devices have depicted great potential in effective and reliable drug delivery, with novel designs ensuring the possibility to overcome future compliance, cost, and safety challenges.
Some of the essential performance characteristics regarding dry powder inhalers are associated with dose delivery, performances at varying airflows, and fine particle fraction content.
These characteristics may vary for powder formulations, creating the need for fine-tuning of the device or powder formulation or both combined for achieving optimal performance.
The requirement is particularly high in micro-dosing dry powder inhalers, which in turn is paving opportunities for medical device manufacturers in terms of innovations and advancements.
Growing adoption of unhealthy lifestyles, increasing geriatric population, and growing air pollution levels fuelling the prevalence of various respiratory disorders are key factors driving the expansion of the global powder inhaler market.
In addition, favorable government initiatives being taken across the globe to improve the healthcare infrastructure will further influence the market growth.
However, the fact that dry powder inhalers are not moisture-resistant remains a major challenge for manufacturers, as the medicine loses its properties when it comes in contact with moisture.
The availability of effective alternatives such as nebulizers and electric pumps is expected to restrain the adoption of dry powder inhalers.
Lack of awareness regarding these devices in low-income & underdeveloped countries may further hinder the market growth to a certain extent.
