The Global Antibiotics Market size is expected to reach $62.5 billion by 2026, rising at a market growth of 5.3% CAGR during the forecast period. Antibiotic is a substance that fights against bacterial and protozoan infections. Additionally, they help in treating many diseases like urinary tract infections, pneumonia, strep throat, skin infections, sinus infections, ear infections and many more. Antibiotics can be classified on various bases but the most common classification is done on the basis of spectrum of activity, chemical structures, and mode of action. Presently, the demand for beta-lactam and beta-lactamase inhibitors class of antibiotics is more among healthcare providers.
The antibiotics market is growing owing to the increasing consumption of antibiotics in middle and lower-income countries, huge investments in R&D activities by pharmaceutical companies, and the increasing number of infectious diseases. Although, the development of antibiotic resistance and the rising cost of drug approval hinder the growth of the antibiotic market. On the other hand, advanced prospect molecules and the development of novel combination therapies to cure antibiotic-resistant microbial infections are estimated to propel the market and provide great opportunities for the market players.
The increased cases of infectious diseases in developing regions like the Asia Pacific and the Middle East are estimated to support the market growth. According to the data provided by WHO, above 15% of the children’s death is caused by pneumonia. Similarly, tuberculosis is more prevalent in the South Asian and Sub-Saharan regions. Presently, the much-needed antibiotic treatment is accessible only to one-third of the infected population that further expands the disease burden.
By Action Mechanism
