Growing Demand Driving Growth in the Rescue Inhaler Market
Rescue inhalers deliver medicine to the airways and provide quick relief from asthma symptoms and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) attacks. They contain either albuterol or levalbuterol and act as bronchodilators that relax muscles in the airways to relieve wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. The global rescue inhaler market is estimated to be valued at US$ 15.5 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.8% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

The prevalence rates of both asthma and COPD have increased significantly over the past few decades due to increasing environmental pollution and growing tobacco consumption.

This is expected to propel the rescue inhaler market forward over the forecast period.
