Cough in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) Market Massive Growth opportunity Ahead
IntroductionIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, progressive lung disease characterized by scarring of the lung tissue, leading to declining lung function and breathing difficulties. Among its debilitating symptoms, chronic cough is one of the most distressing, affecting over 80% of IPF patients. Persistent cough significantly worsens patients' quality of life, disrupts sleep, and increases anxiety, yet therapeutic options remain limited.
The Cough in IPF Market is at a transformative stage, as pharmaceutical companies advance targeted therapies such as P2X3 receptor antagonists and neuromodulators. Between 2024 and 2034, the market is expected to expand rapidly, fueled by unmet clinical needs, new drug approvals, and investments in digital cough monitoring technologies.
