Global Emphysema Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

Emphysema, a lung disease is characterized by the shortness of breath, thereby, damaging the air sacs in the lungs. The disease leads to rupture and weakening of inner walls of the air sacs over the period. The disease involves the reduction in the surface area of the lungs which in turn reduces the amount of oxygen reaching the bloodstream. Hence, during exhalation, the alveoli do not function properly leaving the air trapped in the lungs, leaving no space for oxygen-rich air to enter the lungs. Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are together known as the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The patients suffering from emphysema also have chronic bronchitis. The major causes of emphysema are exposure to air pollutants, chemical fumes, and dust and smoking. The condition can be diagnosed through various tests such as imaging tests that include chest X-ray and CT scan and the lung function test.

The global emphysema market is mainly driven by the high prevalence of respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and others and a huge demand for treatment including smoking cessation drugs and antibiotics. Additionally, the rising availability of diagnostic services for respiratory illness also fuels the growth of the market.

According to the World Health Organization, COPD affects nearly 210 million people which is attributed to the increasing population in urban areas across the globe and growing number of tobacco smokers.

The global emphysema market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period.
