The North America antibiotics market is expected to reach US$ 18,004.25 Mn millioninby 2027 from US$ 13,527.79 Mnmillion in 2019. The market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 3.9% from 2020-to 2027.
The antibioticsmarketis growing primarily due toprevalence of infectious diseases and increasing development of generic drugsin the North America region. that are boosting the market over the years. Restraining factors, such as tedious and expensive process of antibiotic development islikely to slow down damage the growth of the market in the coming years. Additionally,growing investments to combat antimicrobial resistanceand incorporation of novel computing technologies for antibiotics discoveryare likely to increase the growth of the Antibioticsmarket in the forecast period.
Antibiotics refer to a class of medicines containing substances that are active against bacteria. These medicines either kill the bacteria or control the infection by inhibiting the bacterial reproduction, which in turn helps patient to recover. or inhibit their reproduction allowing controlling the infection thereby helping the patient to recover. Antibiotics are specific to the type of bacteria being treated and are not able to be interchanged from one infection to another.
The prevalence of infectious disease, especially caused by bacteria is increasing day by day. According to a study published by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) in 2019, Carbapenem-resistant bacterial infections risk factor leads to ~49,000 hospitalization cases in the US each year. Moreover, according to CDC, in 2018, there were around 49,157 pneumonia deaths, which accounted for was around 49,157 death rates was about 15:1 per 100,00 people; moreover, in the United States, an estimated 48 million foodborne diarrheal illnesses occur annually, resulting in more than 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths. According to CDC, campylobacter causes an estimated 1.5 million illnesses each year in the United States. Thus, Such exponentiallythe increasing prevalence of bacterial infections is expected to continue to drive the growth of antibiotics market during the forecast period. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria is also increasing in developing as well asand developed countries. Thus, the increasing prevalence of such drug-resistant bacteria compels the manufacturers and R&D faculties to come up with new effective variants of antimicrobials effective against the new,and as well as old, bacterial strains, thereby fueling the growth of the antibiotics market.
Research institutes, pharmaceutical, and biotech companies are engaged in collaborative work to address the COVID-19 outbreak. This has eventually shifted their focus from development of new antibiotics to vaccine development for COVID-19. Moreover, diversion of resources from antibiotics development to coronavirus treatment is likely to hamper overall productivity of the drug development during the forecast period. Furthermore, pharmaceutical supplies and procurement are also badly affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 in North America.
In 2019, the cephalosporin segment accounted for the largest share of the market; it is further expected to continue its dominance over duringthe forecast period. This class of antibiotics is usually safe due to low toxicity to the self-cells and remarkable efficiency against susceptible bacteria. On the other hand, fluoroquinolones are expected to register the highest CAGR in the antibiotics market during 2020?2027.
