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 sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the healthcare sector, especially in the supply of essential medical devices, diagnostic equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Hospitals and healthcare providers are grappling with higher costs for imported surgical tools, imaging systems, and consumables like syringes and catheters, many of which have limited domestic substitutes. These escalating expenses are putting pressure on healthcare budgets, prompting some providers to delay equipment upgrades or pass increased costs on to patients. Furthermore, tariffs on raw materials and components are disrupting the manufacturing of vital drugs and devices, leading to supply chain delays. In response, the industry is adopting diversified sourcing strategies, expanding local production where feasible, and pushing for tariff exemptions on critical medical products.

This bronchitis 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 bronchitis treatment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.61 billion in 2024 to $5.92 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising air pollution levels, cigarette smoking epidemic, increased respiratory infections, environmental and occupational exposures, lifestyle factors.

The bronchitis treatment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.89 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to advancements in respiratory medicine, expanded access to vaccination, tailored pediatric treatment approaches, precision medicine in respiratory care, global efforts to reduce smoking. Major trends in the forecast period include personalized treatment approaches, advancements in inhalation therapies, targeted therapies for specific bronchitis types, focus on prevention and vaccination, patient-centric care models,.

The forecast of 7.4% growth over the next five years reflects a slight reduction of 0.1% from the previous projection. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may disrupt U.S. pulmonary care by increasing costs for nebulizer systems and mucolytic medications imported from Switzerland and India, potentially prolonging respiratory symptoms and raising primary care treatment expenses. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The rising prevalence of respiratory diseases is anticipated to drive the growth of the bronchitis treatment market in the future. Respiratory diseases encompass conditions that impact the lungs and other components of the respiratory system, affecting either the upper or lower respiratory tract. Various factors, including infections, allergens, irritants, and genetic factors, can contribute to these diseases. Treatments for bronchitis can vary based on the underlying cause and severity of the condition, involving the use of antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and bronchodilators to facilitate airway dilation. For example, in November 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a US government agency, reported that in 2022, the illness rate among private industry employers increased to 45.2 cases per 10,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers, up from 37.7 cases in 2021. This rise was largely attributed to a greater incidence of respiratory illnesses, which escalated from 27.8 cases per 10,000 FTE workers in 2021 to 35.8 cases in 2022. Consequently, the growing incidence of respiratory diseases is fueling the expansion of the bronchitis treatment market moving forward.

The growing aging population is poised to contribute to the expansion of the bronchitis treatment market. The aging population phenomenon, characterized by an increasing proportion of elderly individuals within a population, presents a demographic shift with implications for healthcare. Bronchitis treatment in the elderly offers various advantages, addressing both acute and chronic forms of the condition. Benefits include symptom alleviation, complication prevention, improved respiratory function, enhanced ease of breathing, elevated overall quality of life, and reduced hospitalization risks. Globally, the World Health Organization projects that by 2030, 1 in 6 people will be aged 60 or older, with the number doubling to 2.1 billion individuals by 2050. In the UK, the House of Commons Library forecasts a 24% rise in the senior population, reaching 17.4 million people by 2043. The increasing aging population emerges as a significant driver for the growth of the bronchitis treatment market.

Major players in the bronchitis treatment market are focusing on developing technologies like drug-device combination products to improve medication delivery effectiveness and enhance patient adherence to treatment plans. A drug-device combination product integrates a drug with a delivery device to amplify its therapeutic benefits. For example, in July 2023, Viatris Inc., a global healthcare company, and Kindeva Drug Delivery L.P. introduced Breyna. This inhalation aerosol is specifically designed for treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It comprises a combination of active ingredients, including a long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) and a corticosteroid, which work synergistically to alleviate symptoms and diminish airway inflammation.

Major companies in the Bronchitis Treatment Market are advancing technologies like dry powder inhalers (DPI) to improve drug delivery precision, optimize dosing, and enhance the overall patient experience, making treatment more accessible and user-friendly for individuals with bronchitis. Dry Powder Inhalers (DPI) are devices that administer medication in a dry powder form directly to the lungs, enabling effective treatment of respiratory conditions. For instance, in November 2023, Lupin Limited, a pharmaceutical company based in India, introduced Vilfuro-G. This inhaler combines three active ingredients-vilanterol, fluticasone furoate, and glycopyrronium bromide-into a single device. This innovative formulation aims to provide comprehensive management of COPD symptoms by addressing inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus production simultaneously.

In January 2022, Covis Pharma Group, a Switzerland-based specialty pharmaceutical company, made a strategic move by acquiring the respiratory portfolio of two medicines from AstraZeneca for $270 million. This transaction involved the acquisition of Eklira and Duaklir, positioning Covis to offer a comprehensive range of best-in-class treatments for allergic rhinitis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The acquisition underscores Covis Pharma Group's capability to collaborate effectively and become a preferred partner for major pharmaceutical firms. AstraZeneca PLC, a UK-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology company and a co-developer of a vaccine against bronchiolitis, is the other party involved in this significant transaction. This strategic initiative demonstrates the ongoing efforts of major companies to expand their product portfolios and strengthen their positions in the competitive bronchitis treatment market.
