Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) refers to a progressive and irreversible fibrosing interstitial pneumonia that directly impacts the functioning of the lungs. It is characterized by the formation of scar tissue within the lungs that starts at the edges and progresses toward the center, thus causing difficulties in breathing and insufficient delivery of oxygen to the body parts. It is diagnosed through chest imaging studies, lung biopsies, pulmonary function tests and antibody tests. Two of the most commonly used antifibrotic therapy includes nintedanib and pirfenidone-based drugs, which improves lung functioning and minimizes the risks of acute respiratory deterioration. They are often coupled with oxygen therapy and palliative care to provide comfort and improve the recovery of the patient.
The increasing prevalence of fibrotic diseases, along with the rising geriatric population across the globe, is one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. Furthermore, changing lifestyle patterns and increasing consumption of nicotine products, such as cigarettes, is providing a thrust to the market growth. Moreover, smoking tobacco and cigarettes is considered as one of the most common causes for the development of IPF. In line with this, increasing health consciousness among the masses regarding the effective management strategies of IPF is also favoring the growth of the market. Additionally, the advent of novel medicines and advancements in the IPF diagnostic and treatment methods, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. This, along with extensive research and development (R&D) activities and improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, represents some of the other factors anticipated to drive the market further.
