吸藥輔助器市場 – 2024 年至 2029 年預測Asthma Spacers Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
吸藥輔助器是連接到氣喘藥物分配機(通常稱為吸入器)的容納室,以促進緩慢有效的藥物吸入。氣喘吸入器將藥物轉化為氣體形式並將其輸送到患者的肺部,從而打開氣道。然而,吸入器的口腔空間狹窄,迫使藥物進入氣道,導致難以吸入,甚至浪費。
儲霧器是一根長管,連接到吸入器上,允許患者緩慢吸入藥物,減少浪費並更好地吸入。由於污染加劇和慢性病數量增加,預計氣喘患者數量增加將在預測期內推動市場成長。氣喘病例數量的不斷增加,尤其是兒童,他們發現很難直接從吸入器中吸入,預計將推動市場需求。
由於需要專門護理、發病早、認知和氣喘治療的進步等因素,氣喘,尤其是兒童氣喘,越來越受歡迎。建議使用氣喘吸入器和儲霧器以確保適當的藥物輸送和治療效果。由於對氣喘症狀的認知提高和早期診斷,越來越多的人尋求醫療協助。氣喘管理和患者教育計劃的進步推動了這一趨勢。
氣喘是一種廣泛存在的慢性呼吸道疾病,會影響氣道,由於氣道狹窄和腫脹而導致呼吸困難。預計推動吸藥輔助器市場成長的主要原因之一是全球氣喘病例數量不斷增加,尤其是兒童。根據亞太過敏、氣喘和臨床免疫學協會(PACI)的資料,全球整體有超過30億人患有氣喘。
根據世界衛生組織(WHO)資料庫,2019 年有 461,000 人死於該疾病。由於家族遺傳和空氣污染加劇導致氣喘病例增加,預計將增加氣喘吸入器和儲霧器的採用,推動預測期內的市場成長。
由於藥物傳輸增強、技術改進、副作用減少、兒科和老年患者易於使用以及吸入藥物的全身吸收減少,吸藥輔助器市場正在成長。這些設備幫助患者克服協調和時間安排方面的挑戰,從而獲得更好的臨床結果。它還可以減少口腔和喉嚨中的藥物沉積,從而最大限度地減少潛在的副作用。
Spacer 的使用者友善介面使這些人更容易獲得處方藥物並提高患者的依從性。墊片還可以減少全身吸收,並有助於將更高比例的藥物引導至肺部。它還可以增加肺部的藥物沉積並改善氣喘控制。病患教育和訓練計畫也在增加,支持使用墊片的臨床證據也在增加。
智慧吸入器技術與儲霧器的融合進一步增強了其吸引力。吸藥輔助器符合全球改善氣喘控制的努力,有助於市場成長。
市場限制因素
限制吸藥輔助器市場成長的是世界衛生組織建議使用自製替代品和無間隔物技術來降低藥物總成本。世衛組織的目標是根據其預防和控制非傳染性疾病全球行動計畫(2030)減少全世界的氣喘。
根據世界衛生組織的一項調查,只有五分之一的氣喘患者使用吸入器,大多數人不知道儲霧器的使用和重要性。世衛組織在其指導方針和宣傳計劃中提倡使用寶特瓶製作和使用自製墊片。自製間隔器的低廉價格,加上高昂的治療和藥物成本,鼓勵了DIY間隔器的採用,特別是在低收入國家,從而限制了前景廣闊的市場機會。
不需要吸入墊片的技術的開拓和新產品的推出對吸藥輔助器構成了重大的市場威脅。例如,梯瓦製藥公司已成功配製出一種無間隔物氣喘藥物,可改善患者的呼吸。 QVAR® RediHaler(TM) 是一項 FDA核准的無間隔技術,可像其前身一樣有效地輸送藥物。 QVAR(R) RediHaler(TM) 是圍繞呼吸驅動吸入器技術開發的,適合 4 歲以上的患者,甚至兒童也可以在沒有儲霧器的情況下使用。此類技術的興起預計將阻礙吸藥輔助器行業的市場。
主要市場區隔
An asthma spacer is a holding chamber attached to an asthma medicine dispensing machine, commonly known as an inhaler, facilitating slower and more effective inhalation of the medicine. An asthma inhaler converts the medicine into gas form and delivers it to the patient's lungs, opening the airways. However, the inhaler has less mouth space and rushes the medicine into the person's airways, making it hard to inhale the medicine and even leading to wastage.
A spacer is attached to the inhaler, a long tube that enables patients to slowly inhale the medicine, reducing wastage and enabling better inhalation. Increasing cases of asthma owing to the rise in pollution and growing cases of chronic diseases are expected to drive the market growth during the forecasted period. Rising cases of asthma, especially among children, are expected to drive the market demand since children find it difficult to inhale through the inhaler directly.
Asthma, particularly among children, is gaining popularity due to factors such as the need for specialized care, early onset, awareness, and advancements in asthma management. Asthma inhalers and spacers are recommended to ensure proper medication delivery and treatment efficacy. The growing awareness of asthma symptoms and early diagnosis has led to more individuals seeking medical attention. Advancements in asthma management and patient education programs are contributing factors to this trend.
Asthma is a widely prevalent respiratory chronic disease that affects the airways, making it difficult for the person to breathe owing to narrowed and/ or swollen up airways. One of the prime reasons expected to drive the asthma spacers market growth is the increasing cases of asthma worldwide, especially among children. Data from the Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology (PACI) shows that globally, more than 3 billion people suffer from asthma.
The World Health Organization (WHO) database shows that 461,000 people died because of this disease in 2019. Increasing cases of asthma owing to family genetics and rising air pollution are expected to increase the adoption of asthma inhalers and spacers, driving the market growth during the forecast period.
The asthma spacers market is growing due to the enhanced medication delivery, improved technique, reduced side effects, ease of use for children and elderly patients, and reduced systemic absorption of inhaled medications. These devices help patients overcome challenges related to coordination and timing, leading to better clinical outcomes. They also help reduce the deposition of medication in the mouth and throat, minimizing potential side effects.
The user-friendly interface of spacers makes it easier for these populations to receive their prescribed medications, improving patient compliance. Spacers also help reduce systemic absorption, directing a higher proportion of the drug to the lungs. They also increase medication deposition in the lungs, enhancing asthma control. Patient education and training programs are also growing, and clinical evidence supporting spacer use is growing.
The integration of smart inhaler technologies with spacers further enhances their appeal. Asthma spacers align with global efforts for better asthma control, contributing to market growth.
Market Restraints
The WHO recommends using homemade replacements and spacer-free technology to lower the overall cost of medication, which is what is limiting the market growth of asthma spacers. The WHO aims to reduce global asthma under its Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of NCDs, 2030.
A study by the organization observed that only 1/5th of patients suffering from asthma have access to inhalers, and the majority were not aware of the usage and importance of spacers. In its guidelines and awareness programs, WHO promoted the making and usage of homemade spacers using plastic bottles, which could be substituted for branded asthma spacers. The low cost of homemade spacers, accompanied by high treatment and medication costs, encourages the adoption of DIY spacers, especially in low-income countries, and hence constraints the prospective opportunity for the market.
The development of technology and the launch of new products that do not require a spacer for inhalation pose a significant market threat for asthma spacers. Teva Pharmaceuticals. for instance, has successfully formulated spacer-free asthma medication, which enables better breathing for the patients. QVAR(R) RediHaler(TM) is an FDA-approved spacer-free technology that delivers medication as effectively as its predecessor. QVAR(R) RediHaler(TM) has been developed around breath-actuated inhaler technology and is apt for four-year-old and older patients, which can be used without the spacer, even for children. The rise in such technology is expected to hinder the market for the asthma spacer industry.
