Treprostinil acts as a synthetic analog of prostacyclin approved for the treatment of Group 1 or PAH. It is a drug that helps reduce pressure in the lungs and improve oxygenation in the blood vessels. It was first approved by the US FDA in 2002, and it's becoming more popular because of the rising number of people with pulmonary hypertension, drug and tech advances, approvals, and campaigns by big companies. People with PAH are also more likely to be affected by diseases like HIV, which can lead to pulmonary artery hypertension. According to the American Journal of Managed Care in March 2021, PAH being a rare disorder affects between 15 to 50 people in every million people in the US and Europe. Several factors, including a surge in the increasing government awareness programs regarding the available treatment options for pulmonary arterial hypertension, rising demand for oral drugs, and increased investments from the government, public, and private sectors in healthcare departments are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period. According to the Lung Foundation Australia, November is the designated month of pulmonary hypertension awareness (PH) in Australia. PH Awareness Month is a worldwide campaign to raise awareness of the condition, its associated symptoms, and the support needed.

The Treprostinil Palmitil Market is expected to grow at a steady rate of around 3.5% owing to the increased investment in research & development globally by pharmaceutical companies due to the surge in pulmonary hypertension cases which needs to be controlled. For instance, the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson have published abstracts that highlight data from their pulmonary hypertension portfolio and their dedication to promoting scientific progress in pulmonary hypertension (PAH). These abstracts were presented at CHEST, the annual conference of the American College of Chest Physicians, which was held from October 17 to 20, 2021. Many new therapies are being introduced to treat this disease. Several other factors, such as the introduction of generic drugs and their cost-effectiveness, and government initiatives are also driving this market of treprostinil palmitil at a steady rate.

Based on type, the market is bifurcated into branded and generic. The branded segment held the maximum share in the global market of treprostinil palmitil in 2022.

For instance, an article published in the June 2023 edition of Lung India Journal states that inhaling therapy is the most secure and successful approach to treating obstructive respiratory diseases, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Apart from this, the rising number of lung disorders like asthma is boosting the patient load in hospitals and is also impelling the growth of this segment. Hence, amongst modes of administration, the inhalation category is expected to witness a higher CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on end use, the market is segmented into hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and others. The hospitals held a significant share in the treprostinil palmitil market in 2022.
