Furthermore, various pathogens, including bacterial, fungal, and viral, account for 80% of acute respiratory infections among children. A few of the commonly used antibiotics in the country are penicillins, fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, and nitroimidazoles.

Antibiotics and Antimycotics Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing Prevalence of Infectious Diseases Drives Market Growth

Infectious diseases are caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and toxic substances. As per ReAct Group 2022 report, 77 million death cases reported across the world, i.e., 13.6% of total deaths, were linked to bacterial infection, excluding tuberculosis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tuberculosis (TB) ranks 13th among the most common causes of death and 2nd among the most frequent infectious diseases, after COVID-19, globally. As per WHO data, 1.3 million people (including 214,000 people affected by HIV) succumbed to TB in 2022. Its estimations also state that 10.6 million people in the world had TB in 2022, including 1.3 million children, 3.5 million women, and 5.8 million men. 30 countries with high TB burdens accounted for 86–90% of new TB cases that year. Eight countries comprised two-thirds of the total, with India leading the way, followed by the Philippines, China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, and South Africa. Rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol are the prominent antibiotics approved by the US FDA for the treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections.

Moreover, increasing fungal infections are one of the major concerns among large populations globally. According to the Global Action Fund for Fungal Infections (GAFFI) 2024, every year, more than 80 million people are at high risk of developing fungal disease, and approximately 6.55 million patients develop life-threatening fungal infections annually, of which 3.75 million people die. Azoles and Amphotericin B are a few of the common antimycotics used for the treatment of fungal infections globally. Thus, the rising prevalence of various bacteria and fungi-associated infectious diseases across the world creates a significant need for antibiotics and antimycotics.

Ongoing Funding and Research & Development Initiatives Generate Growth Opportunities

Companies in the antibiotics and antimycotics market are making continuous efforts to develop new products or update the existing ones, and to raise funds for drug development and clinical studies.
