Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD) - Epidemiology Forecast - 2034
Description
Key Highlights
DelveInsight research indicates that in 2024, there were around 180,000 diagnosed prevalent cases of PH-ILD across the 7MM, which are expected to increase by 2034.
In the US, there were over 80,000 diagnosed prevalent cases of PH-ILD in 2024, accounting for approximately 45% of all diagnosed cases across the 7MM.
The rise in PH-ILD cases in the 7MM is driven by improved diagnostic tools, and a growing aging population. Broader screening among patients with Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) and advancements in imaging and pulmonary testing also contribute. Additionally, evolving clinical guidelines promote earlier detection, leading to higher reported prevalence rates over time.
Japan accounted for 16% of the diagnosed PH-ILD cases across the 7MM. The number of cases is expected to rise due to the country's aging population, which increases the risk of ILD and related complications.
In Germany, PH-ILD prevalence was slightly higher in males with nearly 8,700 cases as compared to 6,300 females in 2024, with the gap expected to widen by 2034.
Early and accurate diagnosis of PH-ILD remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other respiratory conditions and the absence of specific diagnostic tools, often leading to delays in identification and increased risk of disease progression.
DelveInsight’s “Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD) –Epidemiology Forecast – 2034” report delivers an in-depth understanding of PH-ILD, historical and forecasted epidemiology trends in the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan.
The PH-ILD report focuses on the epidemiological landscape, providing detailed insights into current and forecasted diagnosed prevalence across the 7MM from 2020 to 2034. It highlights geographic variations, demographic trends, and factors influencing disease burden to support strategic planning and resource allocation.
Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD) Disease Understanding
Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD) Overview
PH-ILD is a chronic, progressive condition that develops as a complication of various ILDs, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), connective tissue disease (CTD), and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. It is marked by elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries due to lung scarring and vascular remodeling. This places increased strain on the heart and lungs, leading to symptoms such as worsening shortness of breath, fatigue, and reduced exercise capacity. Over time, these symptoms significantly limit daily activities and diminish quality of life. PH-ILD is often underdiagnosed or diagnosed late, as its symptoms overlap with those of the underlying ILD.
Further details related to country-based variations are provided in the report…
Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD) Diagnosis
Diagnosing PH-ILD is challenging due to overlapping symptom PH-ILD with underlying ILD. Suspicion should arise in ILD patients with unexplained worsening dyspnea or reduced exercise capacity. Key tools include echocardiography for initial screening and pulmonary function tests showing a disproportionate drop in Diffusing Capacity for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO). High-resolution Computed Tomography (CT) aids in assessing lung fibrosis, while right heart catheterization (RHC) remains the gold standard for confirming pulmonary hypertension. Early, accurate diagnosis through routine monitoring in high-risk ILD patients is crucial for timely intervention and improved outcomes.
Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (PH-ILD) Epidemiology
For the purpose of designing the patient-based model for PH-ILD, the PH-ILD epidemiology chapter in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by total diagnosed prevalent cases of ILD, type-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of ILD, type-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of PH-ILD, total diagnosed prevalent cases of PH-ILD, and gender-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of PH-ILD in the 7MM covering the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan from 2020 to 2034.
In 2024, approximately 1.1 million diagnosed prevalent cases of ILD were reported across the 7MM. This rising burden is largely attributed to improved disease recognition, broader use of high-resolution imaging, and increased awareness among physicians and specialists.
In the US, among the type-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of ILD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)-associated ILD accounted for the highest number, with nearly 112,000 reported cases in 2024.
In the UK, among the type-specific diagnosed prevalent cases of PH-ILD, sarcoidosis-associated cases were the most common, with approximately 4,000 reported cases in 2024.
In 2024, nearly 70,000 people in the EU4 and UK were living with diagnosed PH-ILD, underscoring a substantial and growing regional disease burden.
In 2024, diagnosed PH-ILD prevalence showed a slightly higher burden in males, with approximately 42,000 cases compared to 39,000 in females in the US. This gender gap is expected to widen by 2034, highlighting potential differences in disease susceptibility or progression.
In 2024, IPF accounted for the largest share of PH-ILD cases in Japan at 21%, while hypersensitivity pneumonitis represented just 1%, underscoring notable variation in subtype distribution and the need for tailored diagnostic and treatment strategies.
In Japan, over 28,000 diagnosed prevalent cases of PH-ILD were reported in 2024, with the numbers projected to increase by 2034, indicating a rising disease burden.

Physician’s View
As per the KOLs from the US, PH-ILD care faces significant challenges, as timely diagnosis remains limited despite rising prevalence. Overlapping symptoms with other ILDs often contribute to delayed recognition, resulting in patients being identified only at more advanced stages of the disease.
As per the KOLs from the Germany, PH-ILD is characterized by complex vascular remodeling and fibrotic processes, which contribute to disease progression and symptom severity. These underlying mechanisms highlight the need for deeper understanding and innovative approaches to better address the biological drivers of the condition.
As per the KOLs from Japan, The growing burden of PH-ILD, particularly among aging ILD populations, is compounded by the disease’s heterogeneity and complexity. The absence of standardized clinical approaches adds to the challenges, highlighting persistent gaps in real-world patient management and care strategies.
