North America and Europe Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) Market - Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global drug supply due to government-mandated or recommended temporary shutdowns, safety initiatives to ensure health and well-being of employees, insufficient labor force, and restrictions on import and export activities, and travel. Antibiotic manufacturing has been particularly affected, and this is not the first time. In the United States alone, there were 148 antibiotic shortages from 2001 to 2013, and a recent penicillin shortage affected at least 39 countries throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia. As of June 29th 2020, 10.5% of all drug shortages listed by the USFDA were antibiotics. In May 2020, Sandoz, the Novartis generics and biosimilars division, announced the expansion of its manufacturing capacity to maintain a stable supply of generic medicines for patients, while also fulfilling on a number of additional commitments to overcoming COVID-19.
The increasing number of product launches, government initiatives, collaborations, and partnerships by key players are major factors which are expected to drive growth of the North America and Europe acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) market during the forecast period.
Launch of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) drugs is expected to propel the North America and Europe acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in September 2019, Cipla Limited and its subsidiary Cipla USA, Inc., announce the launch of Daptomycin for Injection, 500mg/vial, single-dose vial, AP-rated generic equivalent of Cubicin for Injection in the U.S. CUBICIN is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients (1 to 17 years of age) with complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) caused by susceptible isolates of Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococcus faecalis and others.
Increasing government funding for development of ABSSSI antibiotics is expected to accelerate the market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in April 2020, Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) initiated funding to support all of the U.S. FDA post-marketing requirements associated with the approval of NUZYRA of pediatric ABSSSI studies as well as the five-year post-marketing bacterial surveillance study. The total reimbursement cost for these post-marketing commitments is projected to be around US$ 77 million.
