A digital dose inhaler (DDI) is used for delivering medication to individuals suffering from respiratory ailments like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It comprises built-in sensors and electronic features that can record when the medication is administered and the quantity of the dose. It assists in ensuring adherence to prescribed treatment routines and allowing for a better understanding of the disease of the patient and the effectiveness of the medication. As it provides feedback to the users and helps them to correct their technique, the demand for DDI is rising across the globe.

Digital Dose Inhaler Market

At present, the increasing adoption of DDIs, as they offer enhanced convenience and effectiveness in medication delivery, is bolstering the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing demand for efficient and effective inhalation devices among patients is offering a positive market outlook.

Breakup by Type:

Digital Dose Inhaler Market By Type

  • Branded Medication
  • Generics Medication
     

Branded medication accounts for the majority of the market share

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the type. This includes branded medication and generics medication. According to the report, branded medication represented the largest segment. Branded medication refers to drugs that are developed and marketed by pharmaceutical companies under a proprietary name. These medications are often the first of their kind to be introduced to the market and are protected by patents, preventing other companies from selling generic versions for a certain period. The development of branded medications involves thorough research and development (R&D) activities to ensure their efficacy, safety, and quality. Pharmaceutical companies are investing significantly in (R&D) to develop new respiratory medications, which are then sold under a brand name, often at a higher price point due to the innovation and research backing them.

Breakup by Product:

  • Metered Dose Inhaler
  • Dry Powder Inhaler
     

Metered dose inhaler holds the largest share in the industry

A detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the product has also been provided in the report. This includes metered dose inhaler and dry powder inhaler. According to the report, metered dose inhaler accounted for the largest market share. Metered dose inhalers (MDIs) are one of the most common types of inhalers used in respiratory therapy. They are designed to deliver a specific amount of medication to the lungs, with each actuation or press of the inhaler. MDIs consist of a pressurized canister that contains medication in a liquid or aerosol form, housed within a plastic case with a mouthpiece. When the inhaler is actuated, it releases a measured dose of medication in aerosol form for inhalation. MDIs are popular due to their portability, ease of use, and the ability to provide quick relief in acute respiratory situations. They are highly effective for delivering bronchodilators and steroids which are commonly used in the management of conditions like asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
