Market Insights
Rising Prevalence of Bacterial and Viral Diseases
According to the ReAct published report in 2022, in the past, bacterial infections have been underestimated, causing a global healthcare burden. For instance, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report reveals that microorganisms such as E.coli and Klebsiella pneumonia that are resistant to third-generation cephalosporins, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa cause the healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) pose a significant burden on the healthcare system. Additionally, the report further reveals that 63.5% of the infection cases are caused due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Further, the ReAct report reveals that 7.7 million deaths globally were linked to bacterial infection, accounting for 13.6% or 1 in 8 of all global deaths, making bacterial infection the second-leading cause of death globally. Such increasing bacterial infections are due to only five types of bacteria. These include Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The American Cancer Society, Inc. 2023 report reveals that viral infections are also on the rise globally. Human Papillomavirus (HPV), HPV and cervical cancer, and HPV and other cancers are examples of the main causes of viral infections. Among these, HPV infections are very common among the population. Therefore, rising bacterial and viral infection among the population is a standalone factor responsible for the influential growth of the market in the forecast period 2021-2031.
