Inhalers and nasal sprays, for instance, rely on aerosol technology to deliver medication effectively. With the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases and the growing aging population, the demand for aerosol-based medical products is rising. This presents significant opportunities for manufacturers to cater to the evolving healthcare needs and develop specialized aerosol solutions.
