How has the oral expectorant market evolved, and what factors have shaped its growth?
The rise in respiratory illnesses is expected to propel the growth of the oral expectorant market going forward. Respiratory illnesses refer to diseases and conditions that affect the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and other structures involved in breathing. The number of respiratory illness cases occurs due to air pollution, smoking, respiratory infections, and a rise in chronic conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Oral expectorants alleviate symptoms and improve respiratory health for individuals with respiratory illnesses. They also help in clearing mucus, ease breathing, and support overall recovery and well-being. 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, the incidence of 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. Furthermore, in September 2022, according to the article published by The Lancet, a UK-based book and periodic data publishing organization, 11,255 new cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that causes respiratory illness were recorded in the 2021 summer, which is 9.50% more compared to 10,280 cases in winter 2020–21. Therefore, an increasing number of corporate travelers is driving the oral expectorant market.
