The increase from $11.06 billion in 2024 to $12.04 billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%, is forecasted. This growth during the historic period can be ascribed to factors such as increased government spending on healthcare, heightened awareness regarding natural cough remedies, and a rise in vehicle emissions.

Anticipations of a robust rise in the cough remedies market size in the forthcoming years are high. By 2029, it is projected to surge to $16.76 billion, subjected to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. This growth during the forecast period is attributable to the escalating instances of respiratory diseases, an expanding elderly population, innovations in cough therapies, OTC products’ soaring demand, heightening air pollution, and increasing self-care awareness. Notable market trends to watch for this period involve investments, corporate collaborations, and innovations in lozenge and candy formulations.

Which Drivers Are Expected to Have the Greatest Impact on the Cough Remedies Market’s Growth?

The cough remedies market is predicted to expand in response to the growing prevalence of respiratory disorders. These problems, which cover a vast range of conditions affecting the organs and tissues contributing to respiration and gas exchange in creatures that breathe air, are rising due to augmented exposure to environmental contaminants, population density, and amplified automobile smoke emissions. Cough remedies, such as expectorants, facilitate the thinning of mucus in air passageways, enabling easier clearance of patients’ lungs via coughing. This can provide relief and foster recovery, mainly in patients with injured airways or sore throats. For example, the American Lung Association, a US-based voluntary health organization, reported that the proportion of the US population diagnosed with Asthma increased from 12.9% in 2021 to 13.5% in 2022. Hence, the escalating incidence of respiratory ailments is pushing the growth of the cough remedies market.
