Rising prevalence of clostridium difficile infection is expected to boost growth of the market over the forecast period
Incidence of clostridium difficile infection has been witnessing an increase in the recent past, due to clostridium difficile infection recurrence and antibiotic resistance. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2015, around half a million people in the U.S. suffer from clostridium difficile infection in a year. Moreover, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), an estimated 37,900 patients were suffering from clostridium difficile infection in Canada in 2012. A review and meta-analysis of studies published in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), 2016, conducted in China between 2010 and 2016 showed significant incidence of clostridium difficile infection in China. Furthermore, according to Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System 2017 Report, clostridium difficile infection may be a consequence of commonly prescribed antibiotics for unrelated infections. According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 2015, antibiotic resistant bacteria are highly prevalent in G7 countries. This high presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria may lead to increasing incidence of the infection, which in turn is expected to aid in growth of the global clostridium difficile diagnostics and treatment market.
