Market Trends of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection Treatment Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection Treatment Market according to our research experts:
Combination Therapy is Expected to Hold a Significant Share Over the Forecast Period.
Combination therapy for the treatment of P. aeruginosa is administered due to different considerations - first, to cover the known or suspected pathogen while results of identification and susceptibility testing are pending; second, to avoid the emergence of resistance during treatment; and third, due to possible synergistic activity resulting in better clinical outcome.
According to an article published in Antibiotics in November 2021, antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that P. aeruginosa strains were highly resistant to ceftazidime (88.9%) and cefepime (82.2%), which were the most prevalent among wound infections. Imipenem and amikacin were the most effective drugs with the least resistance percentage (28.9%). The research concluded that the drug combination viewed a statistically significant reduction in bacterial counts when receiving definite combination therapy, compared to monotherapy, and combination therapy showed good results.
Additionally, the rise in demand for combination therapy for the treatment of pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is attributed to the rapid onset of action, high bioavailability rate, cost saving, and high efficiency. Thus, due to the benefits of combination therapy over monotherapy, this segment is expected to grow during the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Hold a Significant Share Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to hold a significant share owing to the increase in hospital stays due to chronic diseases and surgeries, the rising number of hospital admissions, the increasing burden of hospital-acquired infection coupled with the innovative technologies implemented in devices that control infection, and others.
An increase in hospital-acquired infections is expected to propel the growth of the studied market in the North America region. According to Statistics Canada in a report published in January 2022, each year, many Canadians acquire an infection during their hospital stay that increases morbidity and mortality, and that bears a financial cost to the healthcare system. Every year, it is estimated that 220,000 Canadian patients develop an HAI. Thus, a growing burden of hospital-acquired infection in Canada is expected to support the market expansion over the forecast period.
Additionally, the rise in chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and others requires extended hospital stays and surgeries. For instance, according to 2022 data from the American Health Association, there were approximately 33,356,853 hospital admissions in 2022. Many of these admissions were due to chronic diseases and critical procedures like heart bypass surgery. Thus, the increasing number of hospital admissions is expected to create a need for infection control products and thereby boost the market in the region.
Additionally, various strategies adopted by the market players, such as product launches, mergers, and acquisitions, are expected to propel the growth of the market. For instance, in May 2021, Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., launched its generic Erythromycin tablets in availble in 250 mg and 500 mg strengths, it is a therapeutic equivalent for Arbor Pharmaceuticals' reference listed drug (RLD) Erythromycin Tablets. Teva generic Erythromycin pills are used to treat a wide range of bacterial illnesses, including pneumonia.
Thus, the growing burden of hospital-acquired infection coupled with hospital admission is expected to boost the market growth in the North America region over the forecast period.
