Global Asthma Spacers Market: Introduction


An asthma spacer is a medical device used to increase the ease of administering aerosolized medication from an inhaler. The spacers are made from antistatic polymer that helps in prevention of electrostatic charge-related loss of medication to the walls of the chamber. A spacer device is a container with a mouthpiece or mask at one end, and space to insert an inhaler at the other. Asthma spacers are handy devices that are used to deliver medication into your lungs and are used to treat asthma or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Spacers are available in different shapes and sizes.

Increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases and disorders is a key factor expected to drive growth of the global asthama spacers market over the forecast period. In addition, technological advancements and rising number of approvals for inhalers and spacers or valve holding chambers is expected to have a positive impact on growth of the global asthma spacers market.

For instance, in May 2017, Lupin Limited along with its American subsidiary -Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. “  partnered with Albertsons Companies LLC in order to exclusively offer Lupins InspiraChamber, which is a valve holding chamber developed for enhanced delivery of inhaled aerosol therapies.

Moreover, increasing number of approvals for new drugs with enhanced effectiveness and increasing number of generic drug approvals and subsequent product launches is another key factor expected to have a positive impact on the target market.

However, lack of knowledge regarding usage of device and administration protocols and high cost of products are some factors expected to hamper growth of the target market. In addition, inhalers are often required to deliver more than one medicine at a time, and as a result, the cost of such products increases significantly. Furthermore, usage of spacers is time-consuming and may become difficult when required to be administered to young children, patients with special needs, and elderly individuals, which can further impact adoption rate and market growth.

Whereas, increasing focus by healthcare organizations to implement or introduce insurance schemes which will allow patients access to asthma treatment and medicines, support further R&D activities to know asthma triggers and for identifying causes of asthma, etc., is expected to create lucrative opportunities for major players in the market. In 2015 for instance, the UN created the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, with the objective to transform the world with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets. Among the SDGs, Goal 3 which ensure healthy lives and promotes well-being for all at all ages specifically addresses health priorities. Among the goals, several targets and indicators were made to address issues related to reducing the global burden of asthma.
Also, leading players are engaged with new product development, which is expected to support growth of the target market in the next ten years.
