Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Treatment Market - Forecasts from 2019 to 2024

The global idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment market is expected to reach US$4.020 billion by 2024 from US$2.090 billion in 2018, at a CAGR of 11.52%. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a specific form of chronic, progressive fibrosing interstitial pneumonia characterized by the formation of scar tissue within the lungs in the absence of any known cause. The scarring typically starts at the edges of the lungs and advances towards the center of the lungs. As the normal lung tissue is replaced by more heavily scarred lung tissue, which makes it difficult to breathe and deliver needed oxygen to the body. The disease initially manifests with symptoms of exercise-induced breathlessness and dry coughing. Diagnostic tests for IPF include chest imaging studies (X-Rays and CT scan), lung biopsy, pulmonary function tests, oxygen desaturation study and other tests such as autoantibody tests, full blood count, arterial blood gas etc. Currently there are two drugs approved for the treatment of IPF: Nintedanib and Pirfenidone. Both the drugs slow down the development of scar tissue in the lungs of people with IPF. Growth in prevalence of fibrotic disease coupled with the unavailability of proper treatment options will drive the market for the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment during the given time frame.
