The global corticosteroids market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the market growth include the rising incidences of chronic diseases and increasing demand for inhaled and topical corticosteroids. The incidence of chronic diseases, such as acute respiratory diseases and rheumatic disorders, is on the rise. Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary hypertension, and occupational lung disorders are the most frequent chronic respiratory diseases. As per the WHO, Asthma affected an estimated 262 million people globally in 2019 and caused 4,61,000 deaths.

COPD is expected to rise in the future, owing to the high incidence of smoking and the aging populations in many countries. Asthma and COPD are becoming more common, which has increased the demand for inhaled corticosteroids to treat them. These are anti-inflammatory medications that are often used as long-term asthma control medication.  These medications help in reducing swelling and constriction in the lung airways. Some inhaled corticosteroids that are used for the treatment of asthma include Ciclesonide (Alvesco), Fluticasone (Flovent HFA), Beclomethasone (Qvar RediHaler), Budesonide (Pulmicort Flexhaler), and Mometasone (Asmanex Twisthaler). Inhaled corticosteroids don't usually cause severe side effects.
