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 becoming increasingly popular in Vietnam as the country is experiencing a rise in respiratory diseases.
Customer preferences: Vietnam has a high rate of smoking, which has led to a rise in respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. As a result, there is a growing demand for bronchodilator drugs in the country. Additionally, the aging population is also contributing to the demand for these drugs as the elderly are more prone to respiratory diseases.
Trends in the market: The bronchodilator drugs market in Vietnam is expected to grow due to the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases. The demand for combination bronchodilator drugs is also increasing as they provide better treatment outcomes for patients with severe respiratory diseases. The market is expected to be dominated by short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) and long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs), which are the most commonly prescribed bronchodilator drugs.
Local special circumstances: Vietnam has a developing healthcare system, which means that many people do not have access to quality healthcare. As a result, self-medication is common, and many people purchase drugs without a prescription. This has led to a rise in counterfeit drugs, which can be dangerous for patients. The government is taking steps to combat this issue by increasing regulations and cracking down on illegal drug sales.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: Vietnam has a growing economy, which has led to an increase in disposable income. This means that people are more willing to spend money on healthcare, including medication for respiratory diseases. Additionally, the government is investing in healthcare infrastructure and increasing healthcare spending, which will improve access to quality healthcare for the population. However, the high cost of imported drugs is a challenge for the market, and local manufacturers are working to develop affordable alternatives.
