ACUTE BACTERIAL SKIN AND SKIN STRUCTURE INFECTIONS MARKET ANALYSIS

A skin and skin structure infection is a bacterial infection of skin and skin related tissues such as Epidermis tissue. Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections is a cluster of common types of infection including abscesses, cellulitis, and wound infections, which requires an immediate effective antibacterial treatment, as part of a timely and cautious management.

A skin and skin structure infection may be complicated skin and skin structure infection or uncomplicated skin and skin structure infection. The uncomplicated group includes simple abscesses, impetiginous lesions, furuncles, and cellulitis mainly caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. The complicated group includes infections either involving deeper soft tissue or requiring significant surgical intervention such as infected ulcers, burns, and major abscesses or a significant underlying disease.

• Moreover, for the treatment of skin and skin structure infection, increased antimicrobial resistance bacteria with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is the main problem. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a strains of Staphylococcus aureus that are resistant to many of the antibiotics used to for the treatment of infections.
• Current antibiotic development for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections are focused largely for the treatment of infections caused by gram-positive organisms, especially Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
• Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, scarlet fever, and toxic shock syndrome are skin-related consequences of bacterial infections

Global Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to hamper growth of the global acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market, owing to restriction in the supply chain of drugs during the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, according to data reported by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in July 2020, the effective measures taken to control the spread of COVID-19 pandemic has at the end badly affected to drug supply chain. Many countries across the world have reported an overall shortage of many types of drugs at the retail level. Supply chain affected the transport and production of all kind of drugs, which is expected to hamper the market of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections.

Break in medical treatment for many patients suffering from skin disease, during COVID-19 pandemic is expected to hamper growth of the global acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market. For instance, according to data published in December, 2020, by National Institute of Health, U.S., due to lockdown imposed in many countries, as a measure to control COVID-19 disease affected health care industries and patients. The lockdown resulted in the pause of medical treatment of existing skin diseases for many patients. This is expected to hinder growth of the global acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market.

The global acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3,466.6 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period (2022-2030)
