Capsule Based Inhalers Market Segmented By Generic and Branded molecule type having Asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) indications
Presently, pulmonary drug delivery is considered as the focus of accelerated research and development as it aims to provide maximum therapeutic benefit by directly targeting the drug to the location of pathology in the lungs. Among all the available delivery options, capsule-based inhalers are the most preferred device for treatment.
Capsule-based inhalers fall under the classification of dry powder inhalers (DPI) and work according to a simple procedure. Capsule-based inhalers generally have a chamber to store a capsule where a capsule is broken by the external forces. The powder is released from the chamber upon aspiration.
Capsule-based inhalers are used to deliver the drug from a capsule containing the bronchodilator, corticosteroid, and combination of corticosteroid and bronchodilator molecules. Capsule-based inhalers are majorly used for the treatment of asthma and COPD.

The increasing prevalence of asthma and COPD contributes to the growing demand for efficient respiratory care, in recent years. Moreover, healthcare professionals, especially in established regions, are more inclined towards the adoption of capsule-based inhalers for the delivery of drugs directly to the respiratory tract of patients in order to increase the effectiveness of drug delivery.
For instance, the total number of deaths caused by COPD is expected to increase by over 30% in the next 10 years. COPD is considered to be the third leading cause of death and is likely to emerge as the fifth major cause of disability by 2020. Other factors like technological advancements in capsule-based inhalers, reimbursement scenario, and rise in the disposable income are some of the factors responsible for boosting the growth of the global capsule-based inhalers market.
For instance, in Germany, all prescription products are reimbursed under SHI and discounts are provided by the pharmacies to SHI funds (2011–12) US$ 2.7 per package.
For non-prescription products, the discount is set at 5% of the retail price. However, drug delivery from capsule-based inhalers involves a complex interaction between the device and the patient, thus, engineering development of capsule-based inhalers medical technology is proving to be a great challenge which might reduce the demand and further result in hampering the capsule-based inhalers market growth.
The capsule-based inhalers possess some technical limitation which might further affect the dose delivered to the patients. These all factors are responsible for hindering the adoption rate of capsule-based inhaler which would further restrain the growth of the global capsule-based inhalers market.
