Chlamydia Infection Treatment Market Overview:

The chlamydia infection treatment market is expected to cross USD 7.31 Billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 9.80%. Chlamydia is a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) caused by Chlamydia trachomati. The treatment regimen for chlamydia includes a course of antibiotics. The rise in sexually transmitted disease and increasing prevalence of chlamydia drives the growth of the chlamydia infection treatment market. Moreover, increasing awareness among the population for STDs and rising government initiatives to spread awareness for the STDs is further driving the growth of the market. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the chlamydial infection has the highest prevalence in people aged ≤24 years in the US. Moreover, asymptomatic infection is also very common among people. Therefore, annual screening of all sexually active women aged <25 years and older women at increased risk of infection is recommended.

COVID-19 Analysis of Chlamydia Infection Treatment Market:

The rising prevalence of COVID-19 is projected to influence market growth over the forecast period.  As the coronavirus outbreak continues, the majority of pharmaceutical companies experienced a significant loss, thereby hampering the chlamydia infection treatment market. Many companies had restricted or halted their manufacturing and supply operations in the initial phase of the pandemic. However, the current situation of COVID-19 is expected to reach normalcy since the medical professionals and health authorities in the countries are taking the necessary steps to fight against the virus.Social distancing guidelines and resource reallocation in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to significant disruption of sexual health clinics globally.

Moreover, the supply shortage of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and finished products, especially for antibiotics, has also impacted the chlamydia infection treatment market. To avoid shortages for the necessary pharmaceutical products, theFDA and European Commission proposed and published regulations focusing on-demand optimization and rational supply. These regulation revisions included several regulations to enhance imports in order to maintain integration of the supply chain.

As a result of the COVID-19 crisis and the subsequent global disruptions to supply and demand, world GDP fell sharply during the first half of 2020. According to the World Bank, there will be a 5.2% decrease in global GDP in 2020. Moreover, every region is subjected to considerable growth downgrades; the Middle East & North Africa by 4.2%, Europe & Central Asia by 4.7%, South Asia will contract by 2.7%, and Latin America by 7.2%. However, East Asia & the Pacific region is expected to grow by 0.5%. These downturns are expected to reverse back in due course of time.

Chlamydia Infection Treatment Market Dynamics:

Market Drivers

Rise in sexually transmitted disease and increasing incidence of chlamydia

• Globally, there has been a rise in sexually transmitted diseases. According to CDC, in the US, 2.5 million cases were reported for the three most commonly reported STDs—chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis—in 2019. Moreover, there has been about a 30% increase in these reportable STDs between 2015 and 2019. According to the CDC, In 2019, a total of 1,808,703 cases of Chlamydia trachomatis infection were reported. Likewise, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), more than 260,000 confirmed cases of STDs were reported from 30 European Economic Area (EEA) countries between 2007 and 2017.Thus, the increasing burden of STDs globally drives the growth of the chlamydia infection treatment market.

Rising government initiatives to promote awareness for the STDs

• The rising economic burden of STDs has led to an increase in government initiatives to spread awareness for the STDs. Increasing government-sponsored programs for spreading awareness and initiatives likefree diagnostic camps to spread awareness for promoting regular health check-ups drives the growth of the chlamydia infection treatment market. For instance, Community Approaches to Reducing Sexually Transmitted Diseases (CARS) is one of the initiatives by the US CDC. The Division of STD Prevention awarded USD 3.6 million for a CARS Phase 3 funding cycleto the organizations including Capacity Builders, Inc., Cicatelli Associates, Inc., San Diego State University Foundation, andWake Forest University Health Sciences. Thus, rising government initiatives to promote awareness for STD drives the growth of the chlamydia infection treatment market.

Increasing use of screening for the disease

• There has been an increase in awareness for screening for disease among the population and a rise in demand for regular health check-ups. Moreover, the increasing number of diagnostic centers and the availability of Direct-to-consumer (DTC) testing kits further support the market’s growth. Recently, there has been an increase in demand for health check-up services that provide DTC testing kits. Several players in the DTC testing market provide sexual health testing products, which include testing for STDs.Thus, the increasing use of screening for the disease is anticipated to boost the growth of the chlamydia infection treatment market.

Market Restraints

Social stigma associated with the STDs

• Despite the need for regular testing for STDs, people often avoid testing for STDs due to social stigma; this can lead to reduced screening, prevention, and care, thereby impeding the growth of the chlamydia infection treatment market.Many times patients also refrain from sharing their details regarding their sex life with the doctors, which further restrains the growth of the chlamydia infection treatment market.

Low rate of screeningfor disease in developing countries

• The developing countries often lack the infrastructure and facilities to support regular testing for STDs. The low presence of diagnostic centers and lower income among the populationoften results in a lower rate of screening for the disease. Moreover, a lack of awareness among the vast majority ofthe population in such countries further restraints the market.

Market Opportunities

Development of new and alternative treatment for Chalymdia

• The current medication for chlamydiagenerally includes treatment with antibiotics. The increasedrisk of the development of antibiotic resistance is a matter of concern for public health.Several pipeline drugs are being researched asthe alternative to antibiotics for chlamydia. For instance, recently, researchers from the University of Waterloodeveloped ananoparticle formulation witha siRNA-based drug to prevent and treat chlamydia.Thus, advances in nanotechnology and pharmaceutical formulations will provide significant opportunities for developing new and alternative treatments for chlamydia, which will further provide significant growth opportunities.
