In terms of revenue, the global sepsis therapeutics market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast perio 2020 to 2027 and to reach valuation of around US$ 6.1 billion by 2027.
Sepsis, also known as septicemia, is a life-threatening disease caused when the body responds to an infection. Sepsis leads to a series of reactions that causes widespread inflammation throughout the body, and could result in septic shock, a medical emergency. Healthcare reimbursements are reforming significantly, which inclines patients toward better treatment regimens. Increase in the number of products in the pipeline and rise in research & development expenditures are expected to be the leading factors boosting the growth of the sepsis therapeutics market.
A Key Driver
Cephalosporin Drug Class and Intravenous Route of Administration to Dominate Sepsis Therapeutics Market
The cephalosporin segment accounted for the largest share of the global sepsis therapeutics market in 2019. The segment is projected to dominate the global market from 2020 to 2027. Additionally, the segment is expected to expand at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Third-generation cephalosporins (e.g. cefotaxime) represent a reasonable alternative to aminoglycoside. Hence, the segment is likely to dominate the sepsis therapeutics market during the forecast period. However, the segment is expected to lose market share during the forecast period, due to development of antibiotic resistance against cephalosporin by pathological agents. According to the World Health Organization, more than 30 million people are affected by sepsis across the world every year, while 6 million people die from the disease. Hence, rise in the epidemiological burden of sepsis increases the demand for the development of intravenous drugs, which is likely to propel the intravenous segment during the forecast period.
Retail Pharmacies Hold Significant Share in Sepsis Therapeutics Market
The retail pharmacies segment dominated the market in terms of distribution channel in 2019. Factors such as rise in affordability of patients and increase in number of retail pharmacies are expected to fuel the growth of the segment in the near future. The retail pharmacies segment is expected to expand at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Globally, around 84% pharmacies are retail pharmacies. The easy accessibility to retail pharmacies leads to the easy availability of drugs. This is expected to propel the retail pharmacies segment from 2020 to 2027.
Immunometabolism Delivers Insights on New Therapeutic Targets
Healthcare companies in the sepsis therapeutics market are increasing research on immunometabolism, as insights on immune regulation are helping manufacturers develop efficacious drugs. Since the early detection and treatment of sepsis is critical, researchers are studying the body’s natural and innate response to various classes of drugs by studying immunometabolism. To gain further insights, healthcare companies are running clinical trials involving antibiotics, fluids, and dialysis, to ensure blood flow to the affected organs. They are also devising methods of surgical therapies to remove damaged tissues.
As such, healthcare companies in the sepsis therapeutics market are trying to identify new therapeutic targets that could potentially reduce inflammatory response in patients. They are increasing research via animal testing by introducing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice to see if the molecule can suppress the severity of inflammatory response.
Judicious Prescriptions and New Antimicrobial Agents Reduce Drug Resistance
Antimicrobials have a rapid and long-lasting effect on septic infections. However, antimicrobial resistance to gram-positive infections (GPIs) is emerging as a major public health threat to patients, worldwide. The growing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria in patients has led to increased morbidity and mortality rates. This has created the issue of escalated treatment costs and prolonged hospitalization stay for patients. This is why, healthcare companies in the sepsis therapeutics market are developing new antimicrobial agents to reduce the resistance of drugs against gram-positive infections.
Healthcare companies are expected to develop a robust healthcare value and supply chain in the Asia Pacific region, as it is predicted for fast growth in the sepsis therapeutics market. For instance, stakeholders in the sepsis therapeutics market have observed the growing prevalence of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus bacteria in Indian patients that has led to the heavy consumption of antibiotics. Thus, stakeholders in the sepsis therapeutics market are recommending judicious prescription of antimicrobial agents, implementation of antibiotic stewardship programs, and conformation to suitable antibiotic policies developed by health commissions to reduce the problem of drug resistance in patients.
Asia Pacific to Create High Incremental Opportunity
In terms of revenue, North America is projected to dominate the global sepsis therapeutics market from 2020 to 2027. This can be ascribed to a large patient pool in the region requiring efficient and new therapies. The sepsis therapeutics market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a relatively high CAGR during the forecast period, owing to increase in the focus on the development of healthcare infrastructure by governments and rise in the demand for the affordability of therapeutics in a significant base of patient population. Additionally, wide scope of development and rapid urbanization offer significant opportunities to emerging as well as established players in the region. This, in turn, drives the sepsis therapeutics market in Asia Pacific.
