Market Challenges And Opportunities

Sulfachloropyridazine Sodium Market Drivers

Rising use of antibiotics in animals to treat certain infections is expected to drive growth of the sulfachloropyridazine sodium market. For instance, according to an article published in journal Science, 2017, almost 80% of all antibiotics in the U.S. are administered to cows, pigs, and chickens to keep them healthy and accelerate their growth and development.

Moreover, according to the Louisiana Department of Health, U.S., due to low cost and relatively better efficacy against many common bacterial infections, sulfonamides are some of the most common antibacterial agents utilized in veterinary medicine, which is in turn is boosting growth of the sulfachloropyridazine sodium market.

Sulfachloropyridazine Sodium Market Restraint

Over the years, bacterial pathogens have acquired resistance to sulfonamide class of antibiotics, due to mutations in pre-existing DNA or by acquisition of Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs), which is expected to hinder growth of the sulfachloropyridazine sodium market. For instance, according to an article published in journal Microbiome, 2017, use of sulfonamide class of antibiotics is restricted to topical use only extensively for animals. For instance, in the U.S., around 380,186 kg of sulfonamides was distributed legally during 2015, to increase the resistance power of food-producing animals. Hence, further spread of sulfonamide resistance would have hamper the market particularly in the animal sector.
