Global Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Treatment Market: Drivers
The idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment market size is expected to witness significant growth, owing to increasing geriatric population. According to National Institute of Health’s (NIH), 2015 report, the symptoms of IPF starts occurring at the age of 50 to 70 in the U.S. Moreover, increasing prevalence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is also expected to boost the market growth. According to NIH 2015 estimates, the prevalence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is 13-20 per 100,000 people worldwide.

Smoking is believed to be another cause of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 1 billion smokers were recorded worldwide in 2017. The global idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment market revenue is expected to witness significant growth, owing to availability of antifibrotic drugs IPF such as Pirfenidone (Esbriet) and Nintedanib (Ofev). According to annual reports of F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG, worldwide sales of Esbriet in 2016 was US$ 753 million.

Global Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Treatment Market: Restraints
Lack of awareness and availability of proper treatment is expected to hinder the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis market growth. According to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) 2017 report, 54% patients do not receive any antifibrotic treatment in Europe.

Moreover, misdiagnosis of IPF is also expected to hinder the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment market size. For instance, according to Multidisciplinary Respiratory Medicines (MRM), in 2012, around 50% of IPF cases were misdiagnosed for other lung diseases in the U.S. High cost associated with the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is also expected to hinder the market growth. For instance, as per the data published in American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC) in 2014, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treatment requires US$ 100,000 annually, in the U.S.
