Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Market – Market Insights
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease, which affects the pulmonary arteries. High blood pressure in the lungs is called pulmonary hypertension (PH) or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It is characterized by narrowed and blocked arteries and capillaries. This rare disease usually grows worse over the period and may result to death if left untreated.
Market players are focusing on collaborations & mergers to develop novel products in the pulmonary arterial hypertension (PHA) market, which is expected to boost growth of the market over the forecast period. For instance, in 2017, Bayer AG and Vectura Group Plc. extended their collaboration to develop an upgraded version of nebulizer Breelib, which improves the efficacy of iloprost aerosol therapy for pulmonary atrial hypertension. Moreover, according to the National Institute of Health, the nebulizer is still in clinical trial and the study is expected to finish by March 2020.
Furthermore, ongoing regulatory approvals for the products by the market players is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in March 2016, Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd, the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson Services Inc., received the approval for Uptravi (selexipag) for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. The Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority (Medsafe) approved the drug in the New Zealand and the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approved in Australia.
The global pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) market was valued at US$ 5,821.90 million in 2018, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period (2019-2027).

Rising cases of heart problems leading to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PHA) is expected to boost growth of the global pulmonary arterial hypertension (PHA) market
The global pulmonary arterial hypertension (PHA) market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period, owing to rising cases of heart disorders, which leads to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PHA). For instance, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a report- Prevalence of uncontrolled risk factors for cardiovascular disease – May 2019 states that, in the U.S. someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds. The report also states that each year, around 805,000 people in the U.S. have a heart attack.
