DUBLIN, Jan. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Market - Analysis By Drug Type, End User, By Region, By Country (2021 Edition): Market Insights, Pipeline and Forecast with Impact of COVID-19 (2021-2026)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Global Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Market is projected to display robust growth valued at USD 3271.3 Million in the year 2020 with North America leading the regional market share.

The primary driver of growth in the IPF market in recent years has been an increased use of the high-priced Pirfenidone (Esbriet) and Nintedanib (Ofev) brands in favour of off-label pharmacological therapies and non-pharmacological treatments. Prior to the approval of these drugs, cheap corticosteroids and immunosuppressant's were used to treat IPF despite negative recommendations in evidence-based guidelines for general treatment.

The major factors that drive the growth of the global idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis market include rise in prevalence of fibrotic disease and increase in geriatric population. In addition, surge in demand for cost-effective drugs and introduction of advanced treatment options propel the market growth.

Furthermore, changing lifestyle patterns and increasing consumption of nicotine products is providing a thrust to the market growth. Moreover, smoking tobacco and cigarettes is considered the most common causes for the development of IPF. In line with this, increasing health consciousness among the masses regarding the effective management strategies of IPF is also favoring the growth of the market.

Additionally, the advent of novel medicines and advancements in the IPF diagnostic and treatment methods, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. This, along with extensive research and development (R&D) activities and improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, represents some of the other factors anticipated to drive the market.

Moreover, to pharmacological treatments, various non-pharmacological treatments are also used for IPF patients. The most used non-pharmacological treatments are lung transplantations, mechanical ventilation, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation. In general, the treatment approach in IPF is largely dependent on a patient's symptoms, the stage of the disease, and a patient's overall health.

The companies analysed in the report include AbbVie Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb, F. Hoffman-La Roche, Ltd., Boehringer Ingelheim, Merck KGaA, Gilead Sciences, Liminal Biosciences, Cipla, Galapagos NV, FibroGen, Medicinova Inc.
