The anticipated surge in the prevalence of skin infections is poised to drive the growth of the market The increasing prevalence of skin infections is anticipated to drive the growth of the acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market in the future. Skin infections occur when microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses, invade and multiply within the skin, resulting in various symptoms and discomfort. The rise in skin infections generates a heightened demand for therapeutic solutions, antibiotics, and innovative treatments to manage acute bacterial and skin structure infections, ensuring that patients have access to optimal care and outcomes. For example, in March 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO), a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Switzerland, reported that approximately 1.8 billion people worldwide suffer from skin conditions at any given time. Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) account for about 10% of these cases, with fungal infections representing 34% and bacterial infections 23%, often leading to significant mortality rates. Therefore, the rising prevalence of skin infections is expected to propel the growth of the acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is also anticipated to boost the growth of the acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are characterized by long-term medical conditions that progress slowly and persist over an extended period, often lasting for years or a lifetime. The growth of chronic diseases contributes to the acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market by heightening the risk of bacterial skin infections, necessitating increased treatments, hospitalizations, specialized care, research, public awareness, healthcare spending, and tailored interventions for affected individuals. As an illustration, the World Health Organization reported in September 2022 that 74% of the 41 million global deaths caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs) or chronic diseases annually. The deaths included 17.9 million from cardiovascular diseases, 9.3 million from cancer, 4.1 million from chronic respiratory diseases, and 2 million from diabetes. Hence, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is a driving force behind the growth of the acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market.

Major companies operating in the acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market are strategically focusing on developing innovative single-dose therapies, such as Dalbonova, to gain a competitive edge. Dalbonova is a single-dose therapy designed for convenience and effectiveness, allowing patients to achieve desired results with a potent 1500 mg dose administered once. For example, in August 2023, BDR Pharmaceuticals Internationals Pvt. Ltd., an India-based pharmaceutical company, launched Dalbonova injection, a single-dose therapy for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). This injection reduces the risk of hospital-acquired diseases by offering a single-dose treatment and eliminating the need for hospital admissions. It is designed to treat ABSSSI caused by certain gram-positive microorganisms in patients of all ages, including newborns.
