What Are The Key Drivers Fueling Growth In The Inhaled Antibiotics Market?
The inhaled antibiotics market is projected to expand in response to the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases. These conditions, which harm the lungs and airways, prevent people from breathing properly. Inhaled antibiotics are beneficial in improving lung function, slowing down the decline of lung function, prolonging the time between disease flare-ups, and improving the quality of life for individuals with cystic fibrosis. For example, in the first half of 2023, statistics from the UK Health Security Agency, a government body in the United Kingdom, showed a 7% spike in Tuberculosis (TB) cases in England compared to the same period in 2022. As such, the escalating occurrence of respiratory diseases propels the demand in the inhaled antibiotics market.
