Pulmonary Drug Delivery Systems Market Size, Share, Growth, Report By 2030


06 Oct 2024

The global pulmonary drug delivery system market size was exhibited at USD 55.26 billion in 2022 and is projected to hit around USD 92.4 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2023 to 2030.

In a pulmonary drug delivery system, medication is inhaled via the lungs and enters the bloodstream via the alveolar epithelium. It is an alternative method to subcutaneous and also intravenous injection. It is a non-invasive method. It plays an essential role in the efficiency of pulmonary delivery. For respiratory delivery, many devices are used, such as nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers, and dry powder inhalers. These devices are adapted for use with protein/peptide drugs. In pulmonary drug delivery, patients use an inhaler to inhale their medications. It is used in treating lung diseases, for instance, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Drug particle properties, breathing patterns, and respiratory tract geometry affect its rate and efficacy. It lowers systemic side effects and increases bioavailability. 

Pulmonary drug delivery is used for inhaled beta-agonists, corticosteroids, and anticholinergic agents to treat asthma and COPD. The pulmonary route of administration offers various benefits. The drug is delivered directly to the disease site to treat respiratory diseases. It is provided to perform topical relief. Targeted drug delivery is delivering the drugs to the targeted area. It is a targeted drug delivery system. The drug is infused into the body via the pulmonary route. It is a better drug delivery alternative for treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It provides quick relief from asthmatic attacks and acute bronchitis.
