This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The cephalosporin market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $17.69 billion in 2024 to $18.33 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing prevalence of bacterial infections, increasing antibiotic resistance, expanding surgical procedures and hospitalizations, rising awareness among healthcare professionals, regulatory support for antibiotic development.
The cephalosporin market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $21.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to escalating global burden of infectious diseases, emerging bacterial resistance, continued growth in surgical interventions and healthcare-associated infections, increasing demand for broad-spectrum antibiotics, evolving reimbursement policies influencing market dynamics. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, regulatory landscape, market expansion with advance solution, collaborations and partnerships.
The anticipated increase in infectious diseases is poised to drive the growth of the cephalosporin market in the future. Infectious diseases encompass illnesses caused by the invasion and multiplication of pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These diseases, including tuberculosis, malaria, and flu, contribute to the demand for cephalosporin antibiotics. Cephalosporins play a crucial role in managing and combating bacterial infections associated with various types of infections. For example, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in March 2023 indicated a rise in tuberculosis (TB) cases in the United States, reaching 8,300 cases in 2022 compared to 7,874 cases in 2021. Thus, the growing prevalence of infectious diseases is expected to fuel the growth of the cephalosporin market.
The increase in healthcare expenditures is set to propel the growth of the cephalosporin market. Healthcare expenditures encompass all costs related to providing health services, family planning activities, nutrition programs, and emergency assistance with a focus on health. Higher healthcare expenditures contribute to the cephalosporin market by enhancing accessibility and affordability, as well as fostering research, development, and innovation in antibiotic treatments. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reported in December 2023 that US healthcare spending rose by 4.1% to $4.5 trillion, or $13,493 per person in 2022, accounting for 17.3% of the country's gross domestic product. Consequently, the rise in healthcare expenditures is driving the growth of the cephalosporin market.
Leading companies in the cephalosporin market are actively developing new products and therapies, including advanced-generation cephalosporins, to combat antibiotic resistance and enhance their portfolio's effectiveness against a broader spectrum of bacterial infections.
