Global Lung Surfactants Market Size, Share, and Trends Analysis Report – Industry Overview and Forecast to 2032

Lung Surfactants Market Analysis

Lungs surfactants are administered to prevent and treat neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). RDS is a serious consequence of premature delivery that affects over 40,000 infants in the United States and Canada every year. The lungs eventually collapse due to low lung compliance caused by a functional or quantitative surfactant deficit. Surfactant, a mixture of phospholipids, neutral lipids, and proteins created by pneumocytes during pregnancy, lowers surface tension and thereby stabilizes alveoli, increasing lung compliance and reducing shortness of breath.

Lung Surfactants Market Size                              

Global lung surfactants market size was valued at USD 196.29 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 274.90 million by 2032, with a CAGR of 4.30% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2032.

Report Scope and Market Segmentation       

Lung Surfactants Market Definition

Lung surfactant is a crucial molecule in the organ. It helps to avoid pulmonary edema by lowering surface tension in alveolar cells, which helps to stabilize the alveoli. Phospholipids are present in lung surfactants, which are synthesized from animal lung extract. Natural surfactant is a substance produced by alveolar cells in the lungs that lines the alveoli and small bronchioles, preventing them from collapsing. Lung surfactant helps oxygen pass through the surface lining of the lungs and into the bloodstream.

Lung Surfactants Market Dynamics

Drivers

• High prevalence rate of respiratory infections

The rise in prevalence rate of respiratory infections will act as a major driver that will result in the expansion of the market's growth rate. Natural surfactant has been recommended to treat lung diseases, including suspected surfactant insufficiency in adults due to the promising outcomes obtained by lung surfactants in treating respiratory failure in premature babies. Aside from bronchiolitis, where surfactants were employed to stabilize narrow airways and for their putative antiviral properties, research has indicated that lung surfactants can help with pneumonia, aspiration, sepsis, and chest trauma, all of which can lead to adult respiratory distress syndrome. To clean the lungs, eliminate inhibitors, and give enough functional surfactant, surfactant bronchoalveolar lavage has been employed.

• Increasing investment for healthcare infrastructure

Another significant factor influencing the growth rate of lung surfactants market is the rising healthcare expenditure which helps in improving its infrastructure. Also, various government organizations aims to improve the healthcare infrastructure by increasing funding and this will further influence the market dynamics.

Furthermore, a surging number of government initiatives to spread awareness will expand lung surfactants market. Along with this, changing lifestyle of people and growing government favourable initiatives will enhance the growth rate of the market.
