Smart Inhalers Market Trends



  • Rising prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases will drive market growth


Market CAGR for smart inhaler is being driven by the rising prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases. The rising prevalence of acute respiratory disorders such as COPD and asthma around the world is opening up a plethora of chances for the expansion of the smart inhalation device market. According to the Burden of Disease, the prevalence of COPD grew by an estimated 14.7% between 1990 and 2015, according to the Burden of Disease. Furthermore, there is a consistent shift in choice from traditional medication delivery systems to smart drug delivery equipment due to their higher benefits. One of the primary factors likely to drive their usage throughout the forecast period is the growing emphasis of preventative care. According to The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, usage of digital inhalers among asthmatic children in New Zealand grew by up to 84.0% between 2022 and 2032. As a result, such measures aided the expansion of the smart inhaler market over the predicted period.


With the use of Bluetooth, digital inhalers can be linked with smart phones, providing dosing remaining and dose monitoring procedures. Furthermore, these devices include patient education aids that reduce errors in dosage actions, resulting in lower hospitalization and treatment costs. For example, Propeller Health reported in 2016 that patients who used these types of inhalers saw a 60.0% decrease in doctor visits. Furthermore, rapidly expanding R&D activities are likely to provide more services to patients, driving the smart inhalation devices market by 2032.


Smart inhalers can nebulize with low drug amounts, higher aerosol generation efficiency, a predominantly fine-particle percentage reaching the peripheral lung, and a low residual volume. To offer patients with the best possible aerosol drug administration, smart inhalers' output rate, aerosol chamber, and reservoir sizes can be modified for different drugs. In ventilator-dependent patients, traditional and smart inhaler comparisons revealed equivalent medication delivery. Smart inhalers are more effective than traditional inhalers and can provide patients with higher pharmaceutical dosages.Because of the enhanced efficiency of smart inhalers, drug formulation dosages may need to be adjusted to avoid the development of undesirable effects due to overdosing.


The growing emphasis on individualized medication is another driver in the smart inhaler market. Because of technological improvements, healthcare providers can now employ sensors and wireless technologies to monitor patients' symptoms in real-time and tailor their treatment plans accordingly. Smart inhalers can assist patients in better managing their respiratory disorders by delivering real-time feedback and statistics on medicine usage. This can assist healthcare providers in tailoring treatment approaches to individual patient needs, resulting in better treatment outcomes and enhanced patient quality of life.
