Antibiotics Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth, Production, Consumption, Revenue, Company Analysis and Forecast 2021-2030

The global Antibiotics market size is expected to be worth around US$ 58.02 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

The global Antibiotics market size was valued at US$ 40.10 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% during forecast period 2021 to 2030.

Growth Factors

The rising prevalence of infectious diseases and supportive government legislation are the major drivers of the market. Moreover, an increase in antibiotic resistance infections due to misuse or overuse of antibiotics is expected to shift the prescription patterns to novel therapies to treat bacterial infection. According to the CDC, the incidence of antibiotic-resistant infections is more than 2.8 million in the U.S. The pathogens such as Enterobacteriaceae, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae have a high resistance rate of an average of 40% in developed countries.

High usage of antibiotics and inappropriate prescription behavior of antibiotic drugs worldwide are the major factors anticipated to drive the market. Moreover, rising awareness among patients and healthcare professionals and increasing involvement of regulatory bodies in the R&D activities of new therapies to treat infectious diseases are expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.

An increasing number of public-private collaborations, wherein funding and innovative R&D approaches are provided by public agencies to firms developing antibiotics, is expected to boost the product pipeline. For instance, in December 2018, Eisai Co., Ltd., and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited announced an agreement with GARDP for the development of novel antibacterial compounds.

Betterment in the approval process of antibiotic drugs is expected to boost the market growth over the forecast period. In February 2020, Merck received acceptance for a review of supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) from the U.S. FDA for RECARBRIO (imipenem, cilastatin, and relebactam) intended for HABP/VABP. This submission is anticipated to reinforce the continued dedication of the company to R&D pertaining to antibiotic therapies that address unmet medical needs.

Report Highlights

Cell wall synthesis inhibitors dominated the market in 2020 with a share of 52.1% and are anticipated to maintain their lead throughout the forecast period. High consumption as per prescription pattern and significant government funding are the key factors driving the segment. Cell wall synthesis inhibitors are the most widely used antibiotics as they are characterized by wide spectrum action against gram-positive and negative bacteria. Cell wall synthesis inhibitors are expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to an increase in research activities, coupled with government funding. For instance, in February 2019, Bicycle Therapeutics announced the development of a novel cell wall synthesis inhibitor, after receiving a grant of USD 640,000 from the government of the U.K.

The RNA synthesis inhibitors segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the increase in the number of product launches and R&D efforts. For instance, in November 2018, Cosmo Pharmaceuticals N.V. introduced Aemcolo (rifamycin) as extended-release tablets for the treatment of Travelers’ Diarrhea in the U.S. Furthermore, the U.S. FDA granted Fast Track designations, Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation, and marketing exclusivity till 2028 for the product.

Penicillin accounted for the largest share of 23.9% in 2020 and is expected to dominate the market over the forecast period due to maximum prescription and the largest number of generic manufacturers in the space. These drugs form the first line of choice in treating infections, such as pharyngitis, skin infections, bronchitis, gonorrhea, and ear infections. Cephalosporin emerged as the second-largest drug class segment after Penicillin and is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period.

The cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone segments are expected to grow at a significant rate from 2021 to 2028. The growth of these segments can be attributed to the commercialization of new drugs during the forecast period. Currently, there are three cephalosporin drugs in the third phase of clinical trials and are anticipated to commercialize in the next 3 to 4 years. Moreover, the U.S. FDA approval of Shionogi’s Fetroja (cefiderocol) in November 2019 is expected to increase the market share. Similarly, the approval of Lasvic (lascufloxacin) by Japan PMDA and the new drug application submission by Wockhardt Ltd. in India is going to propel the growth of the fluoroquinolone segment.

The others segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the coming years owing to the presence of novel therapies in the pipeline, which are expected to launch over the forecast period. This segment consists of various existing classes of antibiotics as well as some newly developed antibiotic drugs, such as tetracyclines, lincosamides, imidazoles, amphenicols, oxazolidinone, and combination drugs. The commercialization of iclaprim, gepotidacin, ridinilazole, and zoliflodacin is anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific held the largest share of 45.2% in 2020 and is expected to register a significant growth rate over the forecast period. This can be attributed to the high consumption of antibiotics, increase in the prevalence of infectious diseases, and rising government initiatives to develop novel therapies to treat drug-resistant infections. Moreover, the presence of generic players is contributing to the growth of the regional market. India and China are the biggest markets for antibiotics in the region. Unregulated sales and excessive consumption of antibiotics are the key factors supporting the market growth in these nations.
