Furthermore, the growing demand for home healthcare devices, rising geriatric population, increasing consumption of alcohol, tobacco, cigarettes, and other such products that might lead to respiratory diseases, are also expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.

However, the loss of drug during nebulization procedures, availability of various substitutes for nebulizers, and side effects of nebulizer solutions are expected to restrain the growth of the global nebulizers market.

Several market players such as OMRON Healthcare, Koninklijke Philips N.V., and B. Braun Melsungen AG, among others currently dominate the global nebulizers market. The key players are involved in awareness campaigns, product approvals, mergers, and strategic collaborations to strengthen their market positions. For instance, in April 2020, B. Braun Melsungen AG received the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) emergency use authorization for using its infusion pumps with nebulizers to treat COVID-19 patients.
