Which industry factors have accelerated the hydrocortisone market’s expansion?
The increasing prevalence of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases is expected to propel the growth of the hydrocortisone market going forward. Inflammatory and autoimmune diseases are conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissues, causing chronic inflammation and tissue damage. The rising adoption of treatments for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases is due to the increasing prevalence of these conditions and advancements in medical therapies. Hydrocortisone is used in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as severe asthma exacerbations to reduce airway inflammation and improve breathing rapidly. It is typically administered intravenously in emergencies. For instance, in May 2024, according to the data published by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), a U.S.-based health statistics agency, the prevalence of current asthma among adults aged 18 and over in the United States increased from 8.4% in 2021 to 8.7% in 2022. Additionally, asthma episodes in the past 12 months for adults in the same age group rose from 3.3% in 2021 to 3.7% in 2022. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases will drive the growth of the hydrocortisone market.
