The global antibacterial drugs market size is estimated to be valued at USD 44.80 Bn in 2024 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% from 2024 to 2031. Antibacterial drugs, also known as antibiotics, are medicines that fight bacterial infections and work by either killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria. They are widely used for the treatment of various infections such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, anthrax, syphilis, leprosy, and listeriosis. Factors such as growth in the prevalence of infectious diseases, increasing investment by pharmaceutical companies in antibiotic research, and strong pipeline of newly developed drugs are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. However, stringent government regulations for the approval of new antibiotics and antibiotic resistance development may restrain the market growth to a certain extent.
Market Dynamics:
Key factors, such as increasing prevalence of bacterial infections, new product launches, and strong pipeline drugs, are projected to drive the global antibacterial drugs market during the forecast period. As per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2019 alone over 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occurred in the U.S. and more than 35,000 people died. This creates significant demand for effective antibacterial drugs. Furthermore, large players are continuously focusing on R&D to develop innovative drugs. For instance, in August 2022, Pfizer Inc. received USFDA approval for its new antibiotic treatment, relebactam, to treat complicated urinary tract and intra-abdominal infections. However, factors like stringent regulations for approval of new antibiotics and increasing antibiotic resistance development are anticipated to restrain the market growth. Moreover, focus on the development of alternative treatment methods like bacteriophage therapy is expected to present lucrative opportunities in the coming years.
