Antibiotic Resistance Market Analysis
The Antibiotic Resistance Market size is estimated at USD 8.80 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 11.5 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.46% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The key drivers of the market are the increasing burden of antibiotic-resistant infections across developed and developing regions and a shift in prescription patterns to newly launched therapies.
The increasing involvement of government and non-government bodies in developing novel therapies is anticipated to drive market growth. The high burden of antibiotic-resistant infections is a major concern globally. For instance, according to the CDC's data published in October 2022, more than 2.8 million antimicrobial-resistant infections occur each year in the United States, and more than 35,000 people die as a result of antibiotic resistance.
Moreover, in February 2023, the Australian government raised USD 6 million in funds for research into antimicrobial resistance and reducing the incidence of hospital infections. This grant opportunity was announced as part of the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) under the Global Health Initiative. Thus, such government initiatives are expected to boost the market's growth over the forecast period.
Some major companies operating in the AMR are adopting several strategies, such as collaboration and acquisition, along with various launches to strengthen their positions in the market. For instance, in January 2023, Alkem Laboratories launched an antibiotic, Zidavi, for multiple drug-resistant (MDR) infections. Moreover, in January 2023, Molbio Diagnostics launched Truenat MTB-INH to test the presence of isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis in infection (MDR-TB). The test was validated by ICMR and approved by CDSCO, which can provide sample-to-test results in an hour.
The high burden of antibiotic resistance, the launch of new drugs for antibiotic-resistant infections, and initiatives taken by government are propelling the market growth. However, strict safety guidelines and the high cost of AMR therapeutics are expected to hinder the market's growth.
Antibiotic Resistance Market Trends
The Complicated UTIs Segment is Expected to Hold a Major Share of the Market
The prevalence of complicated UTIs is expected to hold a major share in the market, owing to the rise in drug-resistant bacteria and excessive use of antibiotics. A complicated UTI is any urinary tract infection other than a simple UTI. Therefore, all urinary tract infections in immunocompromised patients, males, and those associated with fevers, stones, sepsis, urinary obstruction, catheters, or involving the kidneys are considered complicated infections.
The study published in May 2023 in the National Library of Medicine showed that 150 million cases of UTI occur globally per year, causing morbidity and mortality. Also, the article published in StatPearls and updated in November 2023 highlighted that in the United States, around 1.8% of hospitalizations are due to complicated UTIs. Such a high burden of disease creates the need for drugs for treatment, driving the growth of the segment.
In February 2024, Allecra Therapeutics received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Exblifep. It is a cefepime/enmetazobactam that can be used to treat complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs), including pyelonephritis, in patients 18 years of age and older.
Therefore, owing to factors such as the rising burden of complicated UTIs and increasing pipeline activities to treat complicated UTIs, the segment is expected to witness significant growth in the future.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Market Share Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate the antibiotic resistance market over the forecast period. The market is growing in the region due to the high population resistant to antibiotics, high consumption of antibiotics, and increasing funding for research and development.
The increasing burden of antibiotic resistance in the region is expected to increase the demand for its therapy, which is expected to boost the market's growth over the forecast period. For instance, as per an article published in Global News in November 2022, in Canada, about 26% of infections that occur are resistant to first-line antibiotics. Resistance is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years, from 40% to 100% resistance to first-line antibiotics and antifungals by 2050. Thus, the increasing burden of antibiotic resistance in the country is expected to drive the growth of the antibiotic resistance market over the forecast period.
Increased funding and awards for AMR projects are expected to boost the market's growth in the region. For instance, in May 2024, the CDC invested USD 7.13 million in Minnesota to combat antimicrobial resistance. Thus, such initiatives are expected to boost the market's growth over the forecast period.
Therefore, the market is anticipated to witness growth in North America due to the factors mentioned above.
