"Combination drugs are analyzed to be the most lucrative segment of the asthma and COPD drugs market, with a high attractiveness index. This is clearly evident from the increased sales of this class of drugs in 2015," the author of the report states.

In terms of indication, asthma is projected to account for a higher share as compared to COPD during the forecast period.

Rising Incidence of Respiratory Diseases behind Growing Demand for COPD and Asthma Drugs

"One of the most prominent factors driving the asthma and COPD drugs market in the U.S. and China, and one that is likely to have a significant impact throughout the forecast period, is the growing prevalence of asthma and COPD in these two countries, especially in the last decade, the author of the study observes.

Statistics show that the prevalence of asthma across China is 1% to 2%, while it is well over 10% in some cities. Shanghai recorded a whopping 190% increase in the prevalence of asthma over the last decade. The U.S. has also seen an upsurge in asthma cases in the recent past. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that around one in 12 people in the U.S. are living with asthma, which translates to around 25 million people in the country.

Another factor driving the market for asthma and COPD drugs in China and the U.S. is the growing usage of biologics in asthma, which is a relatively new method of treatment. Noteworthy advances have been made in the recent past, particularly for patients with severe disease symptoms.
