The Japan idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment market size reached USD 181.0 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 345.0 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4% during 2025-2033.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a form of chronic interstitial pneumonia characterized by the thickening and scarring of lung tissue. The clinical symptoms of IPF include breathing difficulties, persistent dry cough, fatigue, loss of appetite, and swollen limbs. It is diagnosed through blood tests, chest X-ray, computer tomography (CT) scan, lung biopsy, and pulmonary function tests. IPF is treated by prescribing anti-fibrotic drugs, which slows the rate at which the scar tissues are formed and controls the symptoms associated with the disease. Supportive therapeutic options, including pulmonary rehabilitation, palliative care, and supplemental oxygen therapy, are also provided as the effective treatment plan for IPF.
The increasing prevalence of fibrotic diseases, especially in the geriatric population, is primarily fueling the IPF treatment market growth across Japan. This can be attributed to a rise in the consumption of nicotine-based products, a surge in pollution levels, and rising stress levels. Other than this, increasing health consciousness and rising awareness regarding the effective prevention and management strategies of IPF are acting as growth-inducing factors. Other factors, such as extensive research and development (R&D) activities for introducing novel therapies, and advancements in the existing healthcare infrastructure, are positively influencing the market growth across the country.
