Respiratory tract infection is any infection in the nose, sinuses around the nose, throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), and windpipe (trachea), airways (bronchi) or lungs, which may occur anytime, usually beginning with cold. This infection is usually caused by bacteria and viruses. Virus prone respiratory tract infection are easily transmitted and very contagious while bacterial infection can also be developed during the course of an upper respiratory tract infection. Respiratory tract infection is generally divided into two categories- upper respiratory tract infection (infection in nose, throat, and pharynx) and lower respiratory tract infection (infection below the larynx).

Market Dynamics

The global respiratory tract infection market is expected to witness lucrative growth due to factors such as increasing prevalence of lung diseases, surge in geriatric population, and rising risk of pneumonia in children. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is responsible for around 30 million lower respiratory tract infection cases in children worldwide. The prevalence of such viral diseases is expected to drive growth of the global market over the forecast period. 

Increasing air pollution can severely affect respiratory health of children as well as adults. Various studies have shown effects of air pollution that can exacerbate existing respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and upper airway allergies.

However, adverse effects of using NSAIDs and antibiotics on patients suffering from respiratory tract infection may hinder growth of the market. In 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) increased the warning labels on over-the-counter NSAIDs to highlight elevated risks for heart attack and stroke.
