1. Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases: The demand for corticosteroids is likely to increase with the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Corticosteroids are used in the treatment of these conditions to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, thereby driving the growth of the market.
2. Growing geriatric population: The elderly population is at a higher risk of developing age-related diseases and conditions that require corticosteroid therapy. As the global population continues to age, there will be a greater need for corticosteroid medications, driving the growth of the market.
3. Increasing awareness and acceptance of corticosteroid therapy: As the understanding of corticosteroids continues to evolve and expand, there is a growing acceptance and awareness of their therapeutic benefits. This is expected to drive the demand for corticosteroids in the market, as more healthcare professionals and patients recognize their efficacy in treating various conditions.
4. Technological advancements in drug delivery systems: The development of advanced drug delivery systems for corticosteroids, such as inhalers and biodegradable implants, is expected to drive market growth. These innovative delivery systems enhance the efficacy and safety of corticosteroid therapy, leading to increased adoption and market expansion.

1. Adverse effects and safety concerns: The long-term use of corticosteroids is associated with a range of adverse effects, including osteoporosis, diabetes, and immune suppression. These safety concerns limit the widespread use of corticosteroids and may restrain market growth, particularly in the context of alternative treatment options.
2. Stringent regulatory requirements: The corticosteroids market is subject to strict regulatory oversight due to the potential for misuse and abuse of these medications. This can create barriers to market entry and hinder the development and commercialization of new corticosteroid therapies, thereby restraining market growth.
3. Availability of alternative treatment options: The availability of alternative treatment options, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and biologic therapies, may pose a restraint to the corticosteroids market. Patients and healthcare providers may opt for these alternatives due to their perceived safety and efficacy profiles, thereby limiting the growth potential of corticosteroids in the market.
