Dyspnea Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global dyspnea market attained a value of USD 6.50 Billion in 2024. The market is further expected to grow in the forecast period of 2025-2034 at a CAGR of 6.90%, to reach USD 12.67 Billion by 2034.

Dyspnea Market Overview

Dyspnea involves breathlessness or breathing discomfort characterized by distinct sensations that vary in intensity. It may occur due to heavy physical exertion, or as a side effect of asthma, cardiac ischemia, pneumonia, and congestive heart failure, among others. Dyspnea has become more common after COVID-19, as the virus primarily attacked the lungs of patients. As per a study conducted in 76 patients, clinical meaningful dyspnea affected 49% of the patients at 3 months, while 24% of the patients experienced the symptoms getting worse between 3-12 after COVID-19 exposure.

The dyspnea market growth is driven by the advent of targeted therapies modes, aimed to offer effective treatment. The market is experiencing a surge in research and development activities for the development of new drugs and therapies. The increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders such as asthma, pneumonia, myocardial ischemia, and other respiratory disorders globally is a major factor contributing to the market share. The market is further expected to be driven by the rising prevalence of indoor as well as outdoor pollution. The rising expenditure on the development of healthcare infrastructure is another major factor bolstering the market value.

FDA Approvals to Develop Effective Treatment Alternative to Patients

The market is expected to experience significant growth driven by the increased prevalence of respiratory disorders such as asthma. To meet the dyspnea market demand, there has been a surge in new drug developments and their FDA approvals. For instance, in January 2023, the U.S. FDA approved Airsupra, an inhalational aerosol to treat asthma in adults (18 or older).   Administered as a combination of albuterol and budesonide, it is the foremost combination of an inhaled corticosteroid and short-acting beta-agonist. The increasing incidence of FDA approvals is expected to fill a crucial gap of unmet needs in asthma treatment. In addition, increasing drug approvals are also expected to spark competition among key players, bolstering the market growth in the forecast period.

Surge in Investments to Drive Market Growth

The increased initiatives from the government to spread awareness about respiratory disorders and to get diagnosed in time for appropriate treatment are some of the significant dyspnea market trends. Moreover, an increasing number of funding activities to fetch treatments for asthma and other respiratory are collectively influencing market growth. For instance, in October 2023, San Francisco and London-based Aiolos Bio (a new startup with an asthma drug in clinical trials) declared that it raised USD 245 million in Series A funding.  Such fundings support the development of drugs for clinical treatment, leading to expansion of the market.
