Smart Inhalers Market Summary
The global smart inhalers market size was estimated at USD 18.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 91.9 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 19.6% from 2025 to 2033. The rising prevalence of chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) globally, the development of technologically advanced products, and the growing adoption of digital solutions in the healthcare sector are expected to contribute to the market's growth.
According to estimates from the American Lung Association, in 2022, 11.7 million people, or 4.6% of adults, reported a diagnosis of COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. In addition, the WHO estimates that potentially fatal respiratory diseases, including COPD, lung cancer, and tuberculosis, will account for about one in five deaths worldwide by 2030.
The increasing focus on developing smart inhalers and a rise in initiatives by key market players for R&D efforts drive the demand for smart inhalers. In addition, more companies are integrating digital technologies into their product offerings to enhance medication effectiveness and the management of asthma and COPD. For instance, in April 2022, Aptar Pharma, a market player, introduced HeroTracker Sense, a chronic respiratory digital e-health solution that converts a conventional metered dose inhaler into a smart inhaler.
Moreover, various research studies highlighting the benefits of adopting smart inhalers, such as assisting patients in treatment adherence and controlling symptoms, also contribute to the market growth. For instance, a 2020 Cleveland Clinic study discovered that patients with COPD using the Propeller company's smart inhalers had a noticeably lower risk of being admitted to the hospital, with a nearly 35% drop in visits compared to the prior year.
Furthermore, increasing adoption of digital health technologies and connected devices is enabling better patient adherence, remote monitoring, and personalized treatment plans. Integration of Bluetooth and sensor-based technologies allows healthcare providers to track inhaler usage and optimize therapy outcomes. Supportive government initiatives, growing awareness about disease management, and collaborations between pharmaceutical companies and tech firms are further accelerating market expansion. In addition, the shift toward value-based care is encouraging the adoption of smart inhalers.
