North America remains the dominant region in the global chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment market and is estimated to hold 37.5% of the market share in 2024. The region is home to some of the largest pharmaceutical companies researching and developing innovative drugs and devices for COPD treatment. With high acceptance of new treatment options and diagnostic methods among patients and healthcare providers, North America provides ample growth opportunities for novel molecules and combination therapies. The strong presence of private and public healthcare systems in the U.S. and Canada ensures widespread insurance coverage and affordability of COPD medications. This high demand and availability of funds have encouraged significant investments by manufacturers in the area of COPD.

The Asia Pacific region is emerging as the fastest growing market for COPD treatment worldwide. Factors such as growing geriatric population, rising air pollution levels in urban cities, and increasing healthcare expenditures are driving the market growth. Countries like China and India have a huge patient population suffering from COPD due to rampant smoking habits and exposure to biomass fuel emissions. This significant disease prevalence attracts several multinational pharmaceutical giants to focus on the Asia Pacific region. These are launching generic and low-cost specialty drugs while strengthening local distribution networks to cater to the massive unmet needs. The improvements in the diagnosis rate through improved diagnostic infrastructure and availability of pulmonary function tests in major hospitals are aiding early detection and treatment-seeking behavior. Rising income levels and awareness about COPD are expected to drive the market growth.
