Increasing Adoption of Smart Inhalers Technology to Provide Growth Opportunities to South America Respiratory Inhalers Market
Smart inhalers aim to help people suffering from asthma ensure they take their medication as prescribed by recording the timing and dosage on their smartphones. The data collected can be used by a clinician to verify that the prescribed treatment is working, personalize asthma reviews to focus on the root causes of worsening symptoms, and provide early warning systems that inform when to visit a clinic. This technology could shift from one-size-fits-all asthma screening and lead to fewer routine appointments, which could ease pressure on the National Health Service (NHS). Adults and the geriatric population struggle to take the same puffs due to uneven breathing as the muscles that support breathing and the diaphragm weaken with age, preventing them from inhaling or exhaling enough air. Smart inhalers can benefit them., Smart inhalers that are equipped with sensors can be connected to conventional inhalers and help to keep track of when the medication is taken. Being Bluetooth-enabled, they can also be remotely paired with a computer or smart device, such as a phone or tablet, to transfer data from the smart inhaler automatically. Therefore, the above-mentioned applications of smart inhalers and their growing adoption are expected to provide growth opportunities to the respiratory inhalers market in the coming years.
South America Respiratory Inhalers Market Overview
The South America respiratory inhalers market is segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South America. Brazil dominated the South America respiratory inhalers market in 2022. Brazil is the fifth-largest country globally, both by area and by population. The healthcare facilities and services are better in the country compared to the other countries in the region. It has been experiencing the fastest demographic aging worldwide. In 2020, the geriatric population accounted for 30.1 million, ~14.3% of the total population. Further, as per the Brazil Statistical Institute, people aged 65 and over are expected to reach 36% of the total population by 2050. Aging increases vulnerability to various chronic diseases. For example, lung disorders, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, have become more common among older people. As the geriatric population in Brazil grows, it leads to an increased incidence of various health illnesses, such as respiratory diseases, leading to increased demand for respiratory inhalers. All these factors are likely to drive the adoption of respiratory inhalers, eventually offering opportunities to the Brazil respiratory inhalers market.
