Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Therapeutics
Sub-Segment: Bronchodilators
Bronchodilators play a vital role in the treatment of COPD, as they help in relaxing and widening the airways, making it easier for patients to breathe. These medications provide symptomatic relief by reducing inflammation and improving lung function. They are available in various forms, such as inhalers, nebulizers, and tablets. Bronchodilators are widely prescribed to COPD patients, and the increasing prevalence of COPD is driving the demand for these therapeutics.

Some of the leading companies operating in this market include GlaxoSmithKline plc, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH, AstraZeneca, Novartis AG, Pfizer Inc., Merck & Co., Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., and Mylan N.V. These companies focus on strategic collaborations, mergers and acquisitions, and research and development activities to enhance their product portfolio and expand their market presence.
