Key viruses are Influenza type A and B, while key bacterial agents are Streptococcus, Mycoplasma pneumonia, and Staphylococcus. There are several risk factors when population has high disposition to develop chronic bronchitis, particularly in regions where they are exposed to high environmental pollutants. The prevalence of bronchitis is high the general population. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients, the prevalence estimates can be as high as 54%. The high burden has been highlighted as a key driver for the evolution of the bronchitis treatment market.

Other key risk factors comprise tobacco smoking, increasing age, socioeconomic status, and occupational exposure. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have gathered considerable attention among players in the bronchitis treatment market.

Among the two types, chronic bronchitis holds the leading share of the global market throughout the forecast period.

Advent of  novel LAMA/LABA fixed dose combination inhalers has helped in preventing the exacerbations in COPD patients. Thus, long-acting bronchodilators have attracted research targeted toward improving the mechanism. Growing number of clinical trials has helped develop long-acting bronchodilators. The findings of these studies have paved way to guidelines for reducing COPD exacerbations, thus unlocking new prospects for players in the bronchitis treatment market. Introduction of new drug regimens in COPD treatment options has expanded the horizon for stakeholders in the market. This has also led to the approval of novel LAMA/LABA fixed combinations, opening new doors to opportunities for market players.
