Global Asthma Device Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. Mostly, the symptoms associated with asthma are short-lived and can be easily treated. Asthma inhalers are medical devices which deliver medication into the body via the lungs, thereby, treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Increasing prevalence of asthma is one of the major drivers for the market growth. According to the World Health Organization in 2017, approximately 235 million people suffered from asthma. Moreover, it was estimated that in 2015, the disease killed approximately 383 million patients around the globe. Additionally, rising healthcare expenditures and increasing awareness fuel the market growth. However, long treatment procedures and low per capita income followed by lack of favorable reimbursement policies in the developing countries will restrain the market growth during the forecast period.

The global asthma devices market is expected to grow at an approximate CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period.
