Antimicrobial Therapeutics Market Trends



  • Rising trend of cycling is driving the market growth


The primary drivers of the market are the increased prevalence of infectious diseases and favorable governmental regulations. Additionally, a rise in infections with antibiotic resistance brought on by improper or excessive use of antibiotics is anticipated to change prescription trends for innovative medicines to treat bacterial infections. The CDC estimates that there are over 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant illnesses in the United States. In affluent nations, the resistance rate for diseases including Enterobacteriaceae, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae is considerable, averaging 40%.


Over the projected period, the market is anticipated to be driven by pharmaceutical firms' increased efforts in the discovery of innovative treatments to treat infectious disorders. Around 41 promising compounds were being researched in December 2019 for the treatment of dangerous bacterial infections, according to Pew Charitable Trust. 17 of these 41 experimental medications are either in the third stage of clinical trials or have submitted an NDA for approval, and it is anticipated that they will be on sale within the projection period. The U.S. FDA approved four new antibiotic medications in the second half of 2019. Additionally, it is hoped that favorable government legislation, such as the GAIN Act and REVAMP Act, may hasten the clearance process globally. Over the course of the projected period, the introduction of novel antibiotic medications is anticipated to promote market expansion.


Due to the rise in infectious disease cases, there is a noticeable increase in the demand for antibiotics. Another factor driving the market's expansion is the high prevalence of infectious disorders like lower respiratory infections, pneumonia, malaria, and tuberculosis. Government and non-government organizations are being forced to invest in R&D programs and advance the creation of novel antibiotics and helpful regulatory rules in order to speed up the approval procedure and research financing. For instance, BARDA has provided support to numerous businesses in conjunction with the government to help in the development of novel treatments for infectious diseases. Thus, driving the Antimicrobial Therapeutics market revenue.


Antimicrobial Therapeutics Market Segment Insights


Antimicrobial Therapeutics Application Insights


The Market segments of Antimicrobial Therapeutics, based on application, includes antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic. The antiviral category had the most market share in 2022. The rising prevalence of viral infections including the flu, hepatitis, COVID-19, and HIV/AIDS is what's fueling the segment's expansion. Additionally, the emergence of pandemic illnesses like COVID-19 enhanced the need for antiviral medications because remdesivir was one of the compounds being studied for the treatment of COVID-19. As a result, the global outbreak of viral diseases is expected to contribute to market growth during the forecast period.


Antimicrobial Therapeutics End User Insights


The Antimicrobial Therapeutics Market segmentation, based on end user, includes pharmacies, hospitals and clinics, research and academic institutes. In 2022, the pharmacies category had a larger market share. The market for antibacterial medications is expanding significantly, but commercial prospects are being further hampered by the relatively small drug pipeline. However, it is anticipated that the development of branded medications would increase as a result of the diligent efforts made by the governments of many nations, particularly in Europe and North America. For instance, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced in February 2021 the formation of the Antibacterial Drug Development Task Force at the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) to aid in the discovery of new antibacterial medications. In the future, pharmacies will also function as a full-fledged distribution channel, enabling same-day or next-day delivery and supporting the validity of prescriptions. According to recent World Health Organization research, 1 in 10 medical items circulating in low- and middle-income nations are either subpar or fake.
