Nasal Polyps Treatment Market Overview and Introduction

Nasal polyp is a noncancerous tumor growth in the nose lining. Polyp formation results due to inflammation in the nose. Large polyps of tear shape in the lining of sinus cause obstruction of airflow, leading to difficulty in breathing. Common symptoms linked with nasal polyps include blocked nose, headache, and sleep apnea. They are often associated with several sinus infections, allergic rhinitis, asthma, and aspirin allergy. The main aim of nasal polyps treatment is to reduce inflammation. Reduction in inflammation causes the shrinkage of polyps and later, they disappear. The first line of treatment for nasal polyp is medication and based on severity, surgeries can be the second line of treatment. Medication available for nasal polyps involves nasal corticosteroid, oral corticosteroid, antibiotics, and antihistamines. Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) and polypectomy are among surgeries that are performed for the removal of nasal polyps.

The global nasal polyps treatment market is driven by increasing incidences of inflammatory and respiratory diseases such as chronic rhinosinusitis, asthma, and allergic rhinitis, which are commonly associated with the formation of nasal polyps. For instance, according to an article published by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology in 2017, around 28% to 40% of patients with nasal polyps are diagnosed with asthma. Moreover, the intensive research for novel treatment of nasal polyps is contributing to market growth. SINUVA, a sinus implant for the delivery of anti-inflammatory steroids was launched in 2018 by Intersect ENT, Inc for treating nasal polyps. However, complications associated with the treatment of nasal polyps, such as extensive bleeding, hamper the market growth.
