Pleural diseases encompass a diverse group of conditions affecting the pleura, the thin membrane surrounding the lungs. These conditions can significantly impact respiratory function and overall well-being. The pleura plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the lung's structure and function by providing lubrication and allowing smooth movement during breathing. Pleural diseases can arise from various causes, including infections, inflammation, tumors, and exposure to hazardous substances. Common pleural disorders include pleurisy, pleural effusion, pneumothorax and mesothelioma. Recognizing the symptoms, diagnosing accurately, and implementing appropriate treatment strategies are essential in managing and improving outcomes for individuals affected by these challenging global pleural diseases. The Global pleural diseases market has been steadily growing over the years driven by the rising prevalence of associated risk factors such as smoking, tuberculosis, and metastases. Furthermore, the market has witnessed significant technological advancements in diagnosis and treatment modalities such as imaging techniques and laser therapy, further supporting the market growth.
Market Dynamics:
The increasing adoption of inorganic strategies such as agreement is also expected to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in November 2020, Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, a pharmaceutical company, and Lung Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced an exclusive license agreement of LTI-01, a recombinant human single-chain urokinase plasminogen activator, currently under development by Lung Tx for loculated pleural effusions, for the territory of Japan.
However, limited awareness and delayed diagnosis, cost of diagnostic tools and treatment, limited availability of expertise and resources are expected to hamper growth of the global pleural diseases market over the forecast period.
