Asthma treatment involves the medical approaches and management techniques aimed at controlling and alleviating asthma symptoms, preventing attacks, and enhancing lung function in affected individuals. This treatment focuses on reducing airway inflammation and managing symptoms to improve breathing.
The primary categories of asthma treatment include long-term control medications and quick-relief medications. Long-term control medications are taken daily to maintain asthma control and prevent symptoms. Devices used for administering these treatments include inhalers, dry powder inhalers, metered-dose inhalers, and soft mist nebulizers. Drug classes involved are short-acting beta-agonists (SABA), long-acting beta-agonists (LABA), inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), leukotriene modifiers, immunomodulators, combination drugs, and others. Administration routes encompass oral, inhaled, intravenous, and subcutaneous methods. These medications are distributed through various channels, including hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, online pharmacies, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the pharmaceutical companies contend with tariffs on APIs, glass vials, and lab equipment inputs with few alternative sources. Generic drug makers, operating on razor-thin margins, are especially vulnerable, with some reducing production of low-profit medicines. Biotech firms face delays in clinical trials due to tariff-related shortages of specialized reagents. In response, the industry is expanding API production in India and Europe, increasing inventory stockpiles, and pushing for trade exemptions for essential medicines.
The asthma treatment market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides asthma treatment market statistics, including asthma treatment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with an asthma treatment market share, asthma treatment market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the asthma treatment industry. This asthma treatment 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 asthma treatment market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $22.69 billion in 2024 to $23.75 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising urbanization and pollution levels, increased use of inhalers and nebulizers, improved healthcare access in emerging markets, heightened awareness and diagnosis rates, and greater exposure to allergens.
The asthma treatment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $28.27 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to an increasing emphasis on personalized asthma treatments, greater adoption of biologics and monoclonal antibodies, rising investments in respiratory drug research and development, expanded use of telehealth and digital asthma management tools, and enhanced government initiatives focused on chronic respiratory care. Key trends expected include progress in biologic therapies for severe asthma, development of advanced digital inhalers with tracking capabilities, innovations in personalized medicine, improvements in drug-delivery technologies, and advancements in AI-powered asthma management platforms.
The rising prevalence of respiratory disorders is expected to drive the growth of the asthma treatment market in the coming years. Respiratory disorders encompass diseases that affect the lungs and breathing, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and asthma. This increase is largely linked to air pollution, as particulate matter and nitrogen oxides irritate and inflame the airways, causing breathing difficulties and worsening conditions like asthma. The growing number of respiratory disorder cases is boosting demand for asthma treatments, which include medications, inhalers, and lifestyle modifications to manage airway inflammation and symptoms. For example, in December 2023, the National Library of Medicine, a US-based institution, reported that by 2050, COPD cases in low- and middle-income countries are expected to more than double those in high-income countries, with sub-Saharan Africa projected to see a 59% rise and lead globally in COPD prevalence and cases by 2040. Thus, the increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders is fueling growth in the asthma treatment market.
Leading companies in the asthma treatment market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as anti-inflammatory rescue inhalers, to provide rapid symptom relief while simultaneously addressing airway inflammation in asthma patients. Anti-inflammatory rescue inhalers deliver quick relief during asthma attacks and reduce underlying airway inflammation. For instance, in January 2024, AstraZeneca, a UK-based biopharmaceutical firm, introduced AIRSUPRA (albuterol/budesonide), a novel inhaler for asthma. It is the first and only FDA-approved fixed-dose combination of albuterol, a short-acting beta2-agonist (SABA), and budesonide, an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), designed specifically as a rescue medication for asthma. This inhaler provides fast bronchodilation and targets airway inflammation during exacerbations, treating both symptoms and inflammation with a single inhalation. It is intended for patients aged 18 and older and aims to improve overall asthma control while reducing dependence on separate controller medications.
In January 2024, GSK plc, a UK-based pharmaceutical company, acquired Aiolos Bio for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, GSK intends to enhance its respiratory treatment portfolio and support long-term growth by combining Aiolos Bio's innovative therapies with its global presence to better serve patients worldwide. Aiolos Bio is a US-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on asthma treatment.
