Definition:
Bronchodilator drugs help to dilate the airways, thus making air flow easier. They are mainly used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Bronchodilators may be applied in an acute therapy, leading to a fast and short-term relief of symptoms. Other types of bronchodilators are used for maintenance therapy in long-term treatment. Different categories of bronchodilators include beta two adrenergic agonists, anticholingergics, and theophylline.

Bronchodilator drugs are widely used in Sri Lanka to treat respiratory problems such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The market for these drugs has been growing steadily in recent years, driven by various factors such as changing customer preferences and local special circumstances.
Customer preferences: Customers in Sri Lanka prefer bronchodilator drugs that are affordable and easily accessible. As a result, generic drugs have become increasingly popular in the market. Customers also prefer drugs that are effective in treating respiratory problems and have minimal side effects.
Trends in the market: The market for bronchodilator drugs in Sri Lanka is expected to continue growing due to the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases in the country. The growing aging population and rising pollution levels are also contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, the government's efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure and increase access to healthcare services are expected to further boost the demand for bronchodilator drugs in the country.
Local special circumstances: Sri Lanka has a high prevalence of respiratory diseases, with asthma being one of the leading causes of morbidity in the country. The country also has high levels of air pollution, particularly in urban areas, which is contributing to the growing incidence of respiratory diseases. In addition, the country has a large aging population, which is also driving the demand for bronchodilator drugs.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The Sri Lankan economy has been growing steadily in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income and healthcare spending. The government has also been investing in healthcare infrastructure and increasing access to healthcare services, which is expected to further boost the demand for bronchodilator drugs in the country. However, the country's high debt levels and political instability could pose challenges to the growth of the market in the future.
