ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS MARKET ANALYSIS

Antibacterial Drugs Market, By Drug Class (Penicillins, Cephalosporins, Aminoglycosides, Tetracyclines, Macrolides, Fluoroquinolones, Sulfonamides, and Others), By Spectrum of Activity (Broad-spectrum Antibiotics and Narrow-spectrum Antibiotics), By Route of Administration (Oral, Topical, Intravenous, and Other Routes), By Application (Skin Infections, Respiratory Infections, Urinary Tract Infections, Septicemia, Ear Infections, Gastrointestinal Infections, and Other Applications), By Distribution Channel (Hospital Pharmacy, Retail Pharmacy, and Online Pharmacy), By Geography (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa)

The global antibacterial drugs market is expected to witness steady growth over the forecast period owing to rising prevalence of infectious diseases worldwide. Growing antibiotic resistance has emerged as a major driver pushing drug research efforts for development of novel antibacterial drugs. North America currently dominates the market aided by robust R&D investments and healthcare spending. However, Asia Pacific is likely to offer lucrative opportunities for antibacterial drugs manufacturers with improving access to healthcare in countries like China and India.
Stringent regulatory pathways pose a challenge for approval of new drugs. Additionally, lengthy development periods and high costs involved in drug development act as restraints. Furthermore, collaborations between pharmaceutical companies and research institutions may accelerate antibacterial drug research. The market is also witnessing a shift towards development of biologic and monoclonal antibody-based drugs with selective mechanisms of action.
while infectious diseases will continue fueling demand, declining efficiency of older antibiotics has created an urgent need for novel drugs. Both large pharmaceutical companies as well as smaller start-ups have ramped up efforts towards this domain. Successful research outcomes could reinvigorate market growth in the long run.
