Erythromycin Market Dynamics
Pharmaceutical manufacturers are focused on increasing access to affordable medications to provide novel options for patients and pharmacists, thereby addressing the limited availability of erythromycin tablets, which in turn is expected to augment market growth.

The erythromycin product is a therapeutic equivalent for the reference listed drug (RLD) erythromycin tablets from Arbor Pharmaceuticals and is the only other immediate release oral tablet available.

Moreover, rising prevalence of various infectious diseases including respiratory tract infections is a major factor expected to augment growth of the erythromycin market size in the near future. According to the study by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, 2015, an estimated 2.74 million deaths were recorded due to lower respiratory tract infections (LRIs) and 103.0 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) globally. This is expected to increase adoption of antibiotics.
