The COPD and Asthma Therapeutics Market was valued at USD 92.30 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 155.25 billion by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 9.18%. The increasing prevalence of chronic respiratory conditions, exacerbated by rising pollution levels, tobacco consumption, and aging populations, is significantly boosting demand for bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and combination therapies.
For instance, according to the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), asthma affected over 262 million people globally in 2022, while the WHO reported that COPD was the third leading cause of death worldwide. In addition, a growing aging population coupled with increasing automotive and industrial exhaust gases remains the key driver for the global COPD and asthma therapeutics industry. Degrading air quality near industrial areas has led to an increased incidence of asthma. According to the European Environment Agency, air pollutant levels in 2021 significantly exceeded the levels specified by the World Health Organization's (WHO) air quality guidelines. Achieving these recommended levels could have prevented a significant number of deaths across EU Member States (EU-27), including 253,000 deaths linked to exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and 52,000 deaths caused by nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exposure. In addition, reducing short-term exposure to ozone (O3) could have reduced 22,000 attributable deaths.
The COPD and asthma therapeutics market is also propelled by technological advancements in drug delivery devices, such as smart inhalers with Bluetooth connectivity and AI-based respiratory monitoring platforms, which enhance treatment adherence and enable remote patient management. Companies like Propeller Health and Teva have introduced FDA-approved smart inhalers that track medication usage and transmit data to clinicians in real time.
Moreover, the growing penetration of mobile health apps and telepulmonology solutions is improving access to care, especially in underserved areas. The expansion of online pharmacies and direct-to-consumer digital platforms is also streamlining therapy access, supporting the shift towards home-based disease management. Collectively, these advancements across therapeutic classes, delivery devices, and digital tools are expected to drive sustained growth in the COPD and asthma market through 2030.
Increasing healthcare expenditure, improved access to care in developing regions, and supportive government initiatives aimed at managing chronic respiratory conditions are further enhancing market potential. The rise of universal healthcare programs in countries such as India and China is expanding access to essential inhalers and diagnostics. For instance, China's Healthy China 2030 initiative focuses on four strategic pillars: equitable access and outcomes in health and healthcare, healthcare systems transformation, technology and innovation, and environmental and climate sustainability. Equity is the foundational goal, guiding efforts to reduce barriers in healthcare systems and improve health outcomes across the country.
The COVID-19 pandemic positively impacted the COPD and asthma therapeutics industry. Initially, disruptions in healthcare access, reduced pulmonary function testing, and delayed diagnoses led to a decline in treatment rates and prescription volumes. However, as the pandemic progressed, heightened awareness of respiratory health and the increased risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes in patients with chronic lung diseases drove greater adherence to maintenance therapies. The shift toward home-based care, telemedicine, and digital health tools, such as smart inhalers and remote monitoring, supported continued treatment and patient engagement. While the market faced short-term setbacks, the pandemic ultimately reinforced the importance of proactive respiratory care, leading to long-term growth opportunities.
