Pulmonary Surfactant Market Growth Opportunities, Driving Factors by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast Analysis to 2026

 


Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of phospholipids and proteins that creates a unique interface separating alveolar gas and liquids at the alveolar cell surface, reducing surface tension, and maintaining lung volumes at end expiration. Reduction of the surface tension at the air–liquid interface is a requirement for respiratory function following birth. Deficiency of pulmonary surfactant causes respiratory failure in premature infants, or infantile respiratory distress syndrome (IRDS). The adequacy of pulmonary surfactant is maintained by unique and highly regulated systems mediating the synthesis, secretion, reutilization, and catabolism of surfactant. Loss or inactivation of pulmonary surfactant later in life occurs in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a significant cause of morbidity and mortality following infection, shock, or trauma. Mutations in genes regulating surfactant homeostasis, including SFTPA, SFTPB, SFTPC, ABCA3, TITF1, and CSF2RA cause acute and/or chronic lung disease in newborn infants, children, and adults. Disorders of GM-CSF signaling inhibit surfactant lipid and protein catabolism by alveolar macrophage causing pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP).

Global pulmonary surfactant market size was valued at US$ 578.7  million in 2022 and is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.50 % over the forecast period (2022 – 2030).

Pulmonary Surfactant Market-Drivers

Increasing preference of animal derived surfactant for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome is driving the pulmonary surfactant market growth over the forecast period.

Increasing preference of animal derived surfactant for the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome is driving the pulmonary surfactant market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in May 2021, according to the article published in Archives of Clinical and Medical Case Reports, an open access, peer reviewed Journal, Poractant alfa (Curosurf), significantly reduced the rates of pneumothorax (the presence of air or gas in the cavity between the lungs and the chest wall, causing collapse of the lung) in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome. This reduction was more significant in VLBW (very low birth weight) than non-VLBW (very low birth weight) infants.

Furthermore, on April 11, 2022, an article was published in National Center for Biotechnology Information, a branch of the National Institutes of Health, which reported that when animal derived pulmonary surfactant is combined with budesonide, a corticosteroid or steroid, in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome can effectively shorten the hospital stay and reduce the time of invasive mechanical ventilation and the incidence of BPD (bronchopulmonary dysplasia). Meanwhile, it does not increase the risk of related complications or death. This approach can be applied clinically.

Fc Protein and Glycoengineered Antibodies Market Is Booming Worldwide 2023-2028

  Global Fc Protein and Glycoengineered Antibodies Market Drivers Key players in the market are focusing on research and development activities and receiving approvals from regulatory bodies, which are expected to boost the global Fc protein and glycoengineered antibodies market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in 2016, Genentech Inc. received approval from the U.S. Food and drug Administration (U.S. FDA) for Tecentriq (Atezolizumab). It is being used for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma. In March 2019, Tecentriq received its second approval from the U.S. FDA for the treatment of small lung cancer. Furthermore, in November 2017, TG Therapeutics, Inc. began its clinical trial of Ublituximab for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. It is currently in third phase of its clinical trial. Factors such as increasing product approvals and robust pipeline are expected to drive the global fc protein and glycoengineered antibodies market growth.  Increasing preva...

Breathalyzers Market Development Analysis Contributing Top Vendor Landscape and Economic Growth 2028

  The breathalyzer market refers to the sales and distribution of devices used for measuring blood alcohol content (BAC) through analysis of a breath sample. These devices are widely used by law enforcement agencies for detecting drunk drivers and in workplaces for alcohol screening. The market has been growing due to increasing awareness about the dangers of drunk driving, stricter laws and penalties, and advancements in technology that have made breathalyzers more portable and user-friendly. The market is expected to continue growing in the future as demand for personal and professional use breathalyzers increases. Breathalyzers are instruments used for testing blood alcohol levels through an individual’s breath. These devices find application in probation departments, police departments, remand homes, and commercial sector. The global breathalyzers market is estimated to account for  US$ 6,384.5 Mn  in terms of value in 2020 and is expected to reach  US$ 71,8...

Increasing Incidences of Infectious Diseases to Augment the Antibacterial Drugs Market Growth

  Antibacterial drugs are widely used to treat and prevent infectious diseases and are categorized into seven major classes, such as β-Lactams, phenicols, macrolides, quinolones, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, and aminoglycosides, based on their molecular structure. Antibacterial drugs destroy or slow down the growth of bacteria. These medications are also used to treat urinary infections caused by S. aureus, E. coli, Streptococcus pyogenes, and other bacterial infections. They include a range of powerful drugs used to treat diseases caused by bacteria. Antibiotics cannot treat viral infections, such as cold, flu, and most coughs. Antibacterial drugs play a major role in advanced healthcare, as they are widely used to treat infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis, malaria, typhoid, leprosy, hepatitis B, HIV/AIDS, and others. Thus, there is an increasing demand for antibacterial drugs worldwide.
