Acute lung injury (ALI) is a serious condition marked by widespread inflammation and damage to the lungs, resulting in impaired oxygen exchange. It can be caused by direct factors such as pneumonia or trauma, or indirect causes such as sepsis or pancreatitis. Symptoms of ALI include shortness of breath, low oxygen levels, and respiratory distress.
The primary types of acute lung injury are direct injury and indirect injury. Direct injury occurs when damage happens as a direct result of an event, action, or incident. Treatment options for ALI include mechanical ventilation, pharmacotherapy, fluid management, and others. These therapies are utilized by a range of end users, such as hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
The acute lung injury market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides acute lung injury market statistics, including acute lung injury industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with acute lung injury market share, detailed acute lung injury market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the acute lung injury industry. This acute lung injury market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The acute lung injury market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2.48 billion in 2024 to $2.60 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to awareness campaigns, an increase in ICU admissions, factors such as smoking and air pollution, hospital-acquired infections, and efforts to reduce mortality rates.
The acute lung injury market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.09 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%. The growth during the forecast period can be driven by advancements in biologics and gene therapies, government funding and grants, the development of precision medicine, regenerative medicine, stem cell therapies, and global health policy reforms. Key trends in this period include the development of biologic drugs, wearable and remote monitoring devices, inhalation-based therapies, CRISPR and gene editing technologies, and the use of biosensors for real-time analysis.
The increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases is expected to drive the growth of the acute lung injury market. Respiratory diseases encompass a range of conditions that affect the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system, leading to breathing difficulties and impaired lung function. The rising incidence of these diseases can be attributed to factors such as increased air pollution, smoking, sedentary lifestyles, aging populations, and the impact of viral infections. Conditions such as pneumonia can lead to acute lung injury by causing severe inflammation and damaging the alveoli, which impairs gas exchange and results in respiratory distress. For example, in September 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported a rise in the death rate from influenza and pneumonia in Australia, increasing from 31.9 per 100,000 people in 2021 to 42.6 per 100,000 people in 2022, reflecting a substantial 33.54% increase. As such, the growing prevalence of respiratory diseases is fueling the expansion of the acute lung injury market.
Companies in the acute lung injury market are concentrating on developing novel treatments, such as peptide therapies, to maintain their market position. Peptide treatments involve using short chains of amino acids (peptides) as therapeutic agents for medical conditions. For instance, in November 2022, Zuventus Healthcare Ltd., an India-based healthcare company, launched Aviptadil for treating acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This treatment offers several unique benefits, including potent vasodilatory effects that are 50 times more effective than prostacyclin, a lung protection mechanism that enhances surfactant production by binding to alveolar type II cells, anti-inflammatory properties that suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and TNF-alpha, and immunomodulatory action to regulate immune responses in the lungs. Aviptadil has also shown clinical effectiveness in improving outcomes for patients with severe viral-related ARDS.
In September 2024, Ligand Pharmaceuticals Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, acquired Apeiron Biologics AG for $100 million. This acquisition strengthens Ligand's portfolio by integrating innovative therapies, particularly in immunotherapy and cancer treatment. It also expands Ligand's research and development capabilities, opening up new revenue opportunities and reinforcing its position in the biotech industry. Apeiron Biologics AG, an Austria-based biotechnology company, is actively involved in developing treatments for acute lung injury (ALI).
