Pulmonary drug delivery systems use the respiratory tract to deliver medications to treat diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis. The history of use of these systems dates back to over 60 years ago, when these systems were initially indicated for treating only respiratory diseases - asthma and COPD. Continued development in this area facilitated their application in the treatment of other diseases as well, including cystic fibrosis and diabetes. Exubera was the first inhalable insulin launched by Pfizer Ltd. and Nektar Pharma for treating diabetes, in 2006. However,owing to its poor sales performance, Exubera was withdrawn from the market within a yearof its launch which led other partnerships such as Alkermes/Eli Lilly and Aradigm/Novo Nordisk to abandon the development process of inhalable insulin therapies. Currently,Afrezza by MannKind Corporation is the only inhalable insulin under review by the U.S. FDA and is likely to be approved for marketing in the U.S. by mid-2014.


The global market for pulmonary drug delivery systems includes metered dose inhalers (MDIs), dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and nebulizers. Initially, MDIs used chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as propellants.Later due to rising environmental concerns and pressure from Montreal Protocol (1987) recommendation to phase out CFCs, manufacturers started using hydrofluoroalkanes (HFAs) that are considered as safe propellants causing negligible threat ofozone depletion.MDIs accounted for the largest share (56.8%) of the total global pulmonary drug delivery systems market in 2012 and this segment is expected to grow at a CAGR relatively lower than that for DPIs and nebulizer market segments. This is primarily because of the environmental concerns related with the use of CFCs, which led to ban on CFC-based inhalers. Although manufacturers have now started using HFAs the fact that HFAs also emit gases causing ozone layer depletion has led manufacturers to shift their focus more towards the development of DPIs. During the forecast period 2013 to 2019, DPIs are expected to witness greater demand than MDIs owing to propellant free nature of these systems. The market for nebulizers has been anticipated as the fastest growing segment of the pulmonary drug delivery systems market mainly due to the technical advances leading to portability of these devices and rising demand for home based care. The global pulmonary drug delivery systems market has also been segmented on the basis of their application in treating various diseases such as asthma, COPD and cystic fibrosis.

Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) are performed with minimal incision in the patient's body and ensure the patients with a reduced duration of hospital stay, minimal patient trauma and reduced recovery time. These advantages associated with MIS along with the rising awareness regarding the same, have increased its popularity among patients as well as physicians.The global market for minimally invasive surgeryhas been estimated togrowat the rate of 10.5% during the forecast period 2013 to 2019. This growth is attributed mainly to the increasing incidences of various diseases such as arthritis, cancer and cardiovascular diseases that usually require surgical treatment of the condition. Aging of the global population, especially in the developed countries, will also trigger the growth of this market since elderly people carry a high risk in terms of success of the surgery and MIS would ensure minimal trauma to the already compromised health of the patient. Likewise, introduction of technologically advanced products in the market such as confocal micro endoscopes, narrow band imaging endoscopes and HD cameras for endoscopes, will further propel the growth of this market since these technologies provide better visualization during the surgery.


Minimally invasive surgeries involve three major categories of devices that include surgical devices, monitoring & visualization devices, and endoscopy devices.The market for surgical devices (ablation devices, electrosurgical devices, and medical robotic systems) accounted for the largest share by revenue of the overall MIS market in 2012. This segment is also expected to show the highest growth during the forecast period, at a CAGR of 11.8%. This growth is attributed to their extensive utilization in performing various minimally invasive procedures with maximum accuracy and ease of operation for the physician.
The different types of surgeries that can be performed via minimally invasive technologies include orthopedic, breast, vascular, thoracic, gynecological, bariatric, cardiac, gastrointestinal and urological surgery. Among these, in 2012, the cardiac surgery market accounted for the largest share in terms of revenue due to the large patient population suffering from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) globally and the ever-increasing incidence rates of CVDs. However, the market for cosmetic surgery will grow at the highest CAGR of 14% during the forecast period 2013 to 2019. This is due to the change in lifestyle of the population along with high adoption rates for these procedures in developed as well as developing markets.
