Market Trends of Mucus Clearance Devices Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Mucus Clearance Devices Market according to our research experts:
COPD and Asthma Hold Significant Share in the Global Mucus Clearance Devices Market
- Asthma is referred to as a chronic respiratory disease that blocks the airways of the lung because of mucus production, inflammation, and tightening of muscles. Similarly, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD) is caused by the blockade in the airways further resulting in difficulty in breathing, owing to the primary cause as tobacco smoking.
- According to the 2018 Global Asthma Report, published by the GAN Global Centre, Auckland, New Zealand, asthma is ranked 16th among the leading causes of years lived with disability and 28th among the leading causes of the burden of disease, as measured by disability-adjusted life years, across the globe. Around 300 million people have asthma worldwide, and it is likely that by 2025 a further 100 million may be affected. There is a large geographical variation in asthma prevalence, severity, and mortality. While asthma prevalence is higher in high-income countries, most asthma-related mortality occurs in low-middle income countries.
North America Dominates the Global Mucus Clearance Devices Market
- According to the 2019 report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 13 people has asthma. More than 25 million Americans have asthma. This is 7.7% of adults and 8.4% of children. Asthma has been increasing since the early 1980s in all age, sex, and racial groups.
- According to the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAI), in 2016, approximately 8.3% of children in the United States were found to have asthma. Boys were to some extent more likely to have asthma than girls at a rate of 9.2% and 7.4%, respectively.
- Asthma incidence among children increased from 8.7% in 2001 to 9.4% in 2010 and then declined to 8.3% in 2016. Although not all changes were statistically noteworthy, a similar outline was observed among the sub-demographic groups, except the Mexican/Mexican American children, among whom asthma prevalence increased from 5.1% in 2001 to 6.5% in 2016.
- Hence, such high prevalence of asthma drives the growth in demand for mucus clearance devices across the region, thus accounting for a major share of the global market.
