Global Antibiotic Resistance Market - Regional Insights
- North America is expected to be the largest market for antibiotic resistance during the forecast period, accounting for over 43.7% of the market share in 2023. North America has established itself as the dominant region in the global antibiotic resistance market. Oxazolidinones have proven highly effective at treating drug-resistant bacterial infections like Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) that are challenging to treat with other antibiotic classes. Linezolid, the main oxazolidinone drug, has benefits over other treatments as it can be administered both orally and intravenously, allowing flexibility in patient care settings. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Linezolid has strong activity against clinically relevant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) in the US. The ability of Linezolid to treat these dangerous antibiotic-resistant pathogens in both hospital and outpatient settings has made it the preferred therapy for over two decades, keeping the Oxazolidinones sub-segment at the forefront of the North America.
- Asia Pacific is expected to be the second-largest market for antibiotic resistance, accounting for over 25.2% of the market share in 2023. Asia Pacific is projected to emerge as the fastest growing region over the coming years. Countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea are prioritizing initiatives and policies to strengthen their antibiotic resistance management programs. This includes investments in advanced diagnostics to aid rapid identification of drug-resistant pathogens. The favorable regulations and improving healthcare expenditure have encouraged global as well as local players to tap into opportunities by establishing manufacturing facilities. Furthermore, the rising medical tourism across Asia Pacific economies due to affordable treatment costs is augmenting the sales of antibiotics and alternate therapies.
