Further, the prevalence of second-hand smoke is also surging.

Second-hand smoking is the major driver for the rise in respiratory infection. As a result, the market is predicted to gather highest revenue.
Moreover, another main reasons for the rise in respiratory disease is upper respiratory infection. Upper respiratory tract infection occurs in a higher part of the respiratory tract. Nasal passages, sinuses, pharynx, and trachea are the specific areas that are most affected by the infection. The respiratory drugs are one of the common treatment available in the market. Hence, the market is poised to observe growth.
