Increasing incidence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is directly proportional to the tobacco smoking and exposure. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2016, tobacco smoking is the primary cause of COPD leading to around 90% of COPD cases. The irreversible damages caused due to smoke leads to adoption of lifestyle adjustments and medical treatments that includes consumption of bronchodilators, inhaled glucocorticoids, inhaled steroids, and other pulmonary drugs to relieve the disease symptoms, thereby propelling demand for pulmonary drugs. Tobacco is major cause of death and illness across the world. The number of smokers is consistent globally and does not have a drop since a past few years. Smokers are highly susceptible to respiratory diseases such as COPD and asthma.
For instance, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the average rate of smokers in 2012 was 1 in 5 people, which was reported to be constant in the Burden of Tobacco use in the U.S. released in 2015. North America dominates the global pulmonary drugs market, owing to the increasing prescriptions of Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and Long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) combinational products. According to Ontario Drug Policy Research Network, 2015, ICS+LABA combination products are the second-most commonly prescribed inhaled respiratory medications for all indications in Canada, with 1.1 million prescriptions dispensed in the fourth quarter of 2013, whereas, short-acting beta-agonists (e.g., salbutamol) are the most frequently prescribed inhaled respiratory medications in Canada with 1.8 million prescriptions dispensed in the same time period.
The government and non-government initiatives help patients to fight the diseases by providing sufficient medical care and education regarding the benefits of preventive measures as well as appropriate medications to curb the life threatening diseases such as COPD. For instance, in 2016, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 90% of deaths were reported due to COPD in low and middle-income economies.
