Nebulizer is a medical device which can convert the liquid medication into mist or aerosol. Nebulizer is primarily utilized for the treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis. Increasing prevalence of asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis drives the global nebulizers market. Moreover, increasing geriatric population also accentuates the global market for nebulizers. In addition, rising government initiatives in developed nations such as U.S, U.K and Japan also supports the growth of this market. The global nebulizers market was valued at USD 610.0 million in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 937.7 million by 2019.

In 2012, breath actuated pneumatic nebulizers segment accounted for the largest share of the global pneumatic nebulizers market due to factors such as cost effectiveness and efficient drug delivery. Moreover, the breath-actuated pneumatic nebulizers segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2013 to 2019 in the global pneumatic nebulizers market. Ultrasonic nebulizers are further segmented into standalone and portable ultrasonic nebulizers. Portable ultrasonic nebulizers accounted for the largest share as they are easy to handle and operate.
Increasing Geriatric Population and Rising Government Initiatives Identified as Primary Growth Drivers
Aging and the consequent degeneration of the body is the most common cause of chronic diseases. The increasing geriatric population worldwide has significantly expanded the pool of patients suffering from respiratory disorders. Hence, the demand for nebulizers has been correspondingly raised. To counter the rising incidence of respiratory disorders, governments of several countries such as the U.S., the U.K., and Japan have created policies encouraging the growth of the nebulizers market in their respective territories. The most common types of nebulizers available in the market include mesh nebulizers, pneumatic nebulizers, and ultrasonic nebulizers. Among these, pneumatic nebulizers led the global nebulizers market in 2012. This product segment was successful in seizing the lion’s share of the market because of its cost-effectiveness and ease of use.
The market for pneumatic nebulizers can be further classified into breath-actuated and vented pneumatic nebulizers. The demand for breath-actuated pneumatic nebulizers was higher than vented pneumatic nebulizers in 2012. Impressive drug delivery and reasonable price of breath-actuated pneumatic nebulizers played a key role in boosting demand globally. The market for ultrasonic nebulizers can be classified into portable and standalone ultrasonic nebulizers. Of these, portable ultrasonic nebulizers registered higher demand, since they are easier to operate.
North America accounted for the largest share in the global nebulizers market in 2012 owing to rising prevalence of respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis. In addition, increasing government initiatives in this region also supported the growth of nebulizers market in the North American region. Asia-Pacific was observed to be an emerging market for nebulizers and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2013 to 2019. This growth was mainly attributed due to presence of large patient pool diagnosed with chronic diseases such as asthma and chronic pulmonary obstructive diseases (COPD) in this region. Also, manufacturers are expanding their operations in Asian countries such as India, China, Japan and South Korea. For example, Omron Healthcare, Inc., established its subsidiary in South Korea to sell its nebulizers in this region. Thus, all the above mentioned factors collectively supports the growth of nebulizers market in Asia-Pacific region. Some of the key players having presence in the global nebulizers market are Philips Healthcare, Omron Healthcare, GF Health Products, Inc. and PARI Respiratory, Inc.
