Global Respiratory Devices And Equipment (Diagnostic) Market

Veterinary patient monitoring equipment refers to a type of devices and instruments that continuously track and record changes in patient wellbeing, monitor animals' respiration, blood pressure, and other vital signs, and provide warning systems. These systems are used to continuously monitor the animals to detect diseases at early stages to prevent any risks. The main types of veterinary patient monitoring equipment are cardiac monitoring devices, respiratory monitoring devices, remote patient monitoring devices, multi-parameter monitoring devices, neuromonitoring devices, and other products. The cardiac monitoring devices refer to the devices that deal with animal cardiac diseases. These are used for animals such as small companion animals, large companion animals, wild animals, zoo animals, aquatic animals, and exotic animals. Veterinary patient monitoring equipment is used in veterinary hospitals, veterinary clinics, and veterinary research centers. The veterinary patient monitoring equipment research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides veterinary patient monitoring equipment statistics, including veterinary patient monitoring equipment industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with veterinary patient monitoring equipment shares, detailed veterinary patient monitoring equipment segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the veterinary patient monitoring equipment industry. This veterinary patient monitoring equipment research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global veterinary patient monitoring equipment market size will grow from $0.42 billion in 2022 to $0.45 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global veterinary patient monitoring equipment market size is expected to grow from $0.58 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.4%. An increase in the prevalence rate of diseases among animals serves as one of the major drivers for the veterinary patient monitoring equipment market. An increase in the incidence of diseases in livestock and companion animals will require monitoring equipment to diagnose the diseases in animals. For instance, according to the Banfield Pet Hospital's 2020 Veterinary Emerging Topics (VET) Report, more than 50% of the dogs at 1,000 hospitals in 2019 were overweight or obese. Overweight pets are more likely to suffer from joint disease, respiratory disease, and other preventable conditions. The increase in the prevalence rate of diseases for animals results in an increased demand for enhanced veterinary patient monitoring equipment. Veterinary patient monitoring equipment is highly expensive. The cost of equipment will be a significant expense for a veterinary clinic or hospital. For instance, the average wearable device ranges from $50 to $100 and will likely have a recurring software as a service (SaaS) fee to store and retrieve an animal’s health data analytics. These expenses hinder the growth of the veterinary patient monitoring equipment market. Veterinarians and pet or cattle owners are shifting to wearable technology to keep track of animal behavior. Wearable technology is smart electronic devices that are worn on the body or integrated with clothing or accessories and monitor body temperature, behavior, and movement. These wearable monitoring devices provide timely insights regarding the overall health of the animal and help the veterinarian provide an appropriate diagnosis for the animal. For instance, Vetrax, a wearable sensor worn on a dog’s collar, enables clinicians and pet owners to monitor aspects of an animal’s behaviour when they are unsupervised. According to a report by Veterinary Practice News, 83% of pet owners are satisfied with the use of wearable technology and 68% find it an effective way of monitoring the weight and diabetes of their pets. The veterinary patient monitoring equipment market is regulated by government agencies such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA), USFDA (the US Food and Drug Administration), and others. The EMA should certify the medical devices before they are marketed. The EMA verifies the safety and quality of the devices before they can be certified and approved for use throughout the European Union. The EMA requires all devices to comply with the regulations stated under Directive 2001/82/EC and Regulation (EC) No. 726/2004.

Generic pharmaceuticals refer to a drug that was developed to have the same dosage form, safety, strength, mode of administration, quality, performance attributes, and intended use as an already marketed brand-name drug. The action and clinical benefits of a generic drug are identical to those of a brand-name drug. The three main types of generic pharmaceuticals are biosimilar; simple generic, and super generic. A biosimilar is a biological product that is very similar to a reference biologic and has no clinically significant differences in terms of safety, purity, or potency. The drugs are delivered through oral, injectable, dermal/topical, and inhalers that are used for various therapies such as CNS, cardiovascular, dermatology, genitourinary/hormonal, respiratory, rheumatology, diabetes, and oncology. The various distribution channels involved is hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online pharmacies. The generic pharmaceuticals market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides generic pharmaceuticals market statistics, including generic pharmaceuticals industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a generic pharmaceuticals market share, detailed generic pharmaceuticals market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the generic pharmaceuticals industry. This generic pharmaceuticals market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global generic pharmaceuticals market grew from $332.43 billion in 2022 to $358.5 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The generic pharmaceuticals market is expected to grow from $453.19 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.0%. The rising incidence of chronic diseases is one of the major drivers of the generic pharmaceutical market. As more individuals are diagnosed with chronic diseases, they look for more medicines for treatment. Branded drugs come at a premium price, while generic drugs are available at a lower cost and have the same chemical composition as branded drugs. The low cost and same chemical composition and strength of generic drugs make a patient buy generic drugs instead of branded drugs. If it is a chronic disease, the treatment goes on for a longer period, and hence, the sales of generic drugs also increase. For instance, according to the WHO (World Health Organization), over the next 10 years, the number of deaths due to chronic disease is projected to increase by 17%. Also, in 2020, almost 3-quarters of all deaths in the world are due to chronic diseases. The lack of awareness about generic drugs is one of the restraints on the generic pharmaceutical market. The high marketing and advertisement of branded drugs overshadow the availability of generic drugs, which are a substitute for expensive branded drugs. Thus, consumers opt for branded drugs even though the generic drugs carry the same chemical formulation as their counter-branded drugs. According to an article published on CVS HEALTH, many doctors and pharmacists preferred to offer branded drugs to their patients over generic drugs. This prevents the patients to go for generic drugs as they develop a preconceived notion of generic drugs not being at par with branded drugs. For example, according to research conducted by Sahana K Hebbar, in the International Journal of Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, out of 100 patients and 50 non-medical staff, 95% of the patients and 60% of the non-medical staff didn't know about generic drugs. Thus, a lack of awareness about the availability of generic drugs hampers the generic pharmaceutical market. 3D printing technology can transform the manufacturing of drugs in the generic pharmaceutical market. 3D printed pharmaceuticals help improve R&D productivity and deliver new benefits to patients. 3D printing allows the manufacturer to produce drugs with customised size, shape, and texture, which is not possible in traditional manufacturing of generic drugs. 3D printing can help the manufacturer to make generic drugs that have different release dates, appearances, and tastes. For example, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) completed a study where ultraviolet (UV) and 3D printing were used to manufacture tablets to treat Parkinson's disease. Martin Wallace, director of GSK Technology, said that GSK is investing in 3D printing to manufacture pills and tablets. Also, Aprecia pharmaceutical company launched 'ZipDose' technology, which manufactures 3D printed drugs. The drug manufacturers must comply with the CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations that come under the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which includes generic pharmaceuticals. The CGMP regulations require manufacturers to maintain a minimum quality standard for the methods, controls, and facilities used in the manufacturing, packaging, and processing of drug products. Part- 99 of chapter 1 under title 21-Food And Drugs of CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) contains subparts from A to H. The whole part-99 describes the guidelines that need to be followed by drug manufacturers regarding the dissemination of information on human drugs, including biologics, and devices. The guidelines concern the safety, effectiveness, or benefit of use that is not included in the approved labelling for a drug or device approved by the Food and Drug Administration for marketing. The guidelines regulate the information regarding the drugs that should be delivered to the health care practitioner, pharmacy benefit manager, health insurance issuer, group health plan, or federal or state government agency.

Respiratory disposables are used to interface respiratory devices with patients, such as ventilators, nebulizers, and oxygen therapy devices.  The main types of respiratory disposables are masks, tubes, inhalers, and others. A mask is a piece of cloth or other material that is personal protective equipment intended for medical purposes. These are used for disease indications such as asthma, a chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and other chronic respiratory diseases. The applications involved in adult, pediatric, and neonatal. The various end-users are hospitals, clinics, ambulatory care centres, and others. The respiratory disposables market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides respiratory disposables market statistics, including respiratory disposables industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a respiratory disposables market share, detailed respiratory disposables market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the respiratory disposables industry. This respiratory disposables market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global respiratory disposables market size will grow from $2.77 billion in 2022 to $3.07 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The respiratory disposables market size is expected to grow to $4.41 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.5%. The high prevalence rate of respiratory diseases globally is driving the respiratory disposables market. Excessive smoking, exposure to toxic materials, adverse climate conditions, and air pollution are some of the main causes which are leading to a rise in respiratory diseases such as asthma, lung cancer, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). According to a study, around 65 million people suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and around 3 million people die every year because of this disease. It was also reported that around 334 million people suffer from asthma diseases caused by air pollution as well as tobacco smoke, toxic disposable devices. These factors are increasing the demand for the treatment of respiratory ailments, thus driving the respiratory diseases market. The respiratory disposables market is being restrained due to stringent regulatory policies. Regulatory agencies and governments across various countries are imposing stringent restrictions on product approval and launch, this is limiting the market growth. For instance, FDA banned Amphastar Pharmaceutical’s Primatene product, an albuterol CFC inhaler for asthma because ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) propellants have depleted the ozone layer. The FDA rejected Amphastar’s first attempt to bring a reformulated version of Primatene mist to market. The FDA rejected another application for Primatene Mist. Which resulted in a rise in development costs and potential sales loss due to delays in product launch, thus restraining the Respiratory disposables market. Rapid advances in technology are driving innovation in respiratory disposable manufacturing. Areas of particular development are likely to be AIR gel technology, wearable technologies, and 3D printing technology. These technologies are being used in the manufacturing of respiratory disposables, resulting in higher productivity, lower costs, and higher margins. Companies in this market are increasingly focusing on AIR gel technology, in which gel is incorporated into the bag on the edges of the mask which helps to the protection of the skin and creates a bridge to minimize the irritation of the skin and for effective sealing. For example, Vyair medical prepared Veraseal 2 disposable mask, used for acute care with AIR gel technology and advantage of vented and non-vented versions. Similarly, Sleepnet prepared Mojo ventilation masks with Airgel technology. In the USA, occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) regulates all respiratory medical equipment, guidelines for which are specified in 29 CFR 1910. 134. Under OSHA, the national institute for occupational safety and health/national personal protective technology laboratory (NIOSH/ NPPTL) provides a market approval certificate and FDA approves the product for marketing. Before market approval, all the medical devices should be analyzed appropriately by performing a compatibility test within a hospital environment. They are tested on an Electrical bench and Non-clinical performance testing is also required. Moreover, proper software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed. Labels on the devices are required to include the purpose of the device. In 2021, Medline a Netherland-based medical device company acquired the Hudson RCI brand of respiratory consumables from Teleflex. The acquisition helps Medline's offerings, enlarging the respiratory environment with the highly regarded Hudson RCI products and opening extra opportunities for development and help to customers.

Corticosteroids therapy refers to a treatment that is given in a variety of ways to stifle the immune system and reduce inflammation. Asthma is one of the disorders they are used to treat allergy symptoms like hay fever, and urticaria (hives). Corticosteroids, sometimes known as steroids, are a kind of anti-inflammatory medication. The main product types of corticosteroids therapy are glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids. Glucocorticoids are a type of corticosteroid hormone that is very effective at suppressing the immune system and reducing inflammation. The therapy is used for the treatment of skin allergies; rhuematology indications; endocrinology; acute respiratory diseases by hospitals; clinics; research institutes; and others. The corticosteroids therapy market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides corticosteroids therapy market statistics, including corticosteroids therapy industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a corticosteroids therapy market share, detailed corticosteroids therapy market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the corticosteroids therapy industry. This corticosteroid therapy market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global corticosteroids market grew from $5.05 billion in 2022 to $5.26 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The corticosteroids market is expected to grow from $6.33 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 4.7%. The SARS-CoV outbreak research studies show that corticosteroids as adjunctive therapy may be beneficial to treating corona viruses if utilized in the early acute phase of infection. The use of corticosteroids during the treatment of coronaviruses has shown positive outcomes due to their ability to modulate the inflammatory response. Therefore, the corticosteroids market has experienced a surge in its growth. The increasing prevalence of Skin related diseases and the rising incidences of rashes, dermatitis, itching, eczema, and psoriasis contributed to the growth of the corticosteroid market. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), each year in the US, at least 2 million people are infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die due to such infections.For instance, in November 2021, according to an article shared by Cleveland Clinic, a US-based non-profit academic medical center, Skin cancer strikes almost one in five persons at some point in their lives. Every day, 9,500 Americans receive a skin cancer diagnosis. Skin cancer affects 20% of Americans at some point in their lives. The increased prevalence of such disorders increased the demand for corticosteroids, driving the market. Side effects associated with the long-term use of corticosteroids are negatively affecting the corticosteroids market. More recently, in a meta-analysis that included 28 studies (2,382 patients), the overall risk of adverse events was 150 per 100 patient years. Psychological and behavioral adverse events (e.g., minor mood disturbances) were reported most frequently, followed by gastrointestinal events (e.g., dyspepsia and dysphagia). Infectious complications included bacterial infections; reactivation of tuberculosis or toxoplasmosis; and viral infections, including herpes virus, varicella-zoster virus, and reactivation of viral hepatitis. The association between corticosteroid therapy and subsequent infections was calculated by pooling data from 71 controlled clinical trials. The overall rate of infectious complications was 12.7% in the 2,111 patients randomly allocated to systemic corticosteroids and 8.0% in the 2,087 controls. The risk of infection was particularly high in patients with neurologic diseases and less pronounced in patients with intestinal, hepatic, and renal diseases. The rate was not increased in patients given a daily dose of <10 mg or a cumulative dose of <700 mg of prednisone. With increasing doses, the rate of occurrence of infectious complications increased in patients given corticosteroids as well as in patients given a placebo, a finding suggesting that not only the corticosteroid but also the underlying disease state account for the steroid-associated infectious complications observed in clinical practice. Adverse and unwanted effects due to the use of corticosteroids hurt the corticosteroid market. The development of silicones for topical and transdermal drug delivery is one of the key trends in the corticosteroid therapy market. Silicone gel sheets are soft wound covers composed of cross-linked polymers reinforced with or bonded to mesh or fabric. A new strategy to deliver drugs to the inner ear from dexamethasone (DXM)-loaded silicone implants and to evaluate the distribution of the drug in the cochlea with confocal microscopy and the development of a new device for local corticosteroids delivery into the oval window with an extended drug release of DXM to the inner ear is also seen in recent years. Silicone gel sheeting is also an excellent treatment option for pediatric patients who may not be able to tolerate intralesional corticosteroid injection. Silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesives for transdermal drug delivery have shown higher diffusivity and greater skin permeation rate. Silicones offer several advantages such as improved drug permeability, and high diffusivity and offer efficient function and performance to modern drug products. Sanofi is in talks to buy Flexion Therapeutics. Flexion’s knee injection for osteoarthritis, Zilretta (sustained release corticosteroid), would fit right in with Sanofi’s biosurgery division, which markets its osteoarthritis injectable, Synvisc. Zilretta is a sustained-release corticosteroid first up for approval for use in the knee. Analysts have suggested it could bring in $500 million to $600 million in peak sales and perhaps hit blockbuster status if it wins indications for use in other joints. Major players in the corticosteroids therapy market are Sumitomo, Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, Sanofi, Johnson and Johnson, GSK, AstraZeneca, Cipla, LEO Pharma, Abbott Laboratories, Bayer and Zizhu Pharma. North America was the largest region in the corticosteroids therapy market in 2022.

Orphan drugs refer to drugs that are specifically designed to treat an uncommon medical problem. It might be characterised as medicines that address public health needs but are not produced by the pharmaceutical industry due to financial constraints. Since a chemical may be used to treat a common condition but not have been designed for another, more rare indication, the indications of a medicine may likewise be called "orphan." The main types of orphan drugs are biological and non-biological. The various therapy areas include oncology, blood, the central nervous system, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, and immunomodulatory use for the treatment of oncology, hematology, neurology, cardiovascular, and others. Haematology is the study of blood and blood disorders.The drugs are distributed through hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, and online sales.

Any disease that affects a small percentage of the population is rare. Rare disease treatments often require a cold chain, a supply chain regulated by the temperature that is not readily accessible in all countries. Orphan diseases or rare diseases occur rarely among people (i.e. 7 out of 10,000). However, globally, the prevalence of rare diseases is increasing in recent years. For instance, in January 2022, according to an article shared by the American Cancer Society, in USA, There are about 54,000 new instances of oropharyngeal or oral cancer each year. 11,230 people lose their lives to oropharyngeal or oral cancer. The average age of most people diagnosed with these cancers is 63, but they can occur in young people. Just over 20% (1 in 5) of cases occur in patients younger than 55. Thus, the rising prevalence of rare diseases is driving the growth of the orphan drugs market. The lack of supportive government policies hinders the orphan drugs market. Due to the lack of relevant policies for orphan drugs, certain drugs do not receive any special recognition or priority for approval by regulatory authorities. Medgenome Labs Ltd., the global research partner in accelerating insights into complex genetic diseases, pointed out that companies manufacturing orphan drugs frequently drop out in foreign markets due to a lack of government funding. For example, orphan medical products (OMPs) in India, due to a lack of proper regulations and clear guidelines, do not obtain tax cuts or exemptions from customs duties. Therefore, the lack of supportive government policies limits the growth of the orphan drugs market. Approval of biological orphan drugs for multiple indication act as a key trend driving the growth of the orphan drugs market. The biological drugs are used for treating rare diseases such as cancer with fewer side effects that have a high prevalence rate in the developed world.
