2024-2032 年按作用機制、藥物類別、活性譜、給藥途徑、最終用戶和地區分類的抗生素市場報告Antibiotics Market Report by Action Mechanism, Drug Class, Spectrum of Activity, Route of Administration, End User, and Region 2024-2032 |
2023年全球抗生素市場規模達514億IMARC Group。肺炎、結核病和其他傳染病在個體中的盛行率不斷上升,抗菌素抗藥性(AMR)的發生率不斷上升,以及生物技術和藥物發現技術的進步是推動市場的一些主要因素。
抗生素是一類用於治療細菌感染的藥物。它們以多種形式廣泛存在,例如丸劑、膠囊、注射劑、乳膏和軟膏。它們要么殺死細菌,要么抑制其生長,以有效消除感染。它們針對細菌細胞內的特定機製或結構,干擾其重要功能並阻止其繁殖。除此之外,它們還有助於增強個體的免疫系統。因此,抗生素被用來治療各種疾病,例如泌尿道感染(UTI)、呼吸道感染、皮膚感染和某些個別性傳染病。
目前,世界各地群眾中多種慢性病的盛行率不斷上升,推動了市場的成長。此外,抗生素透過全球線上和實體門市的廣泛供應正在加強市場的成長。除此之外,對局部抗生素的需求不斷成長,因為它們可以最大限度地降低個人手術部位感染的風險,並且正在對市場產生積極影響。此外,為了保障動物健康和福利以及支持食品安全,畜牧業中擴大使用抗生素,這也促進了市場的成長。與此一致的是,老年人口對抗生素的需求不斷成長正在支持市場的成長。此外,消費者對預防保健措施的認知不斷增強正在推動市場的成長。
傳染病病率上升
全球範圍內,肺炎、結核、泌尿道感染(UTI)、胃腸道感染和敗血症等傳染病的盛行率呈上升趨勢。由於衛生設施不足,導致細菌感染傳播,人們擴大遭受這些疾病的困擾。此外,抗藥性細菌的出現也增加了對抗生素的需求。對有助於治療這些感染的有效抗生素的需求不斷增加。抗生素是專門針對和消除細菌感染而設計的。它們能有效殺死體內的細菌並促進個體癒合。此外,抗生素是在醫療保健專業人員的指導下使用的,以最佳化患者的治療效果。
抗菌素抗藥性 (AMR) 的發生率增加
全球抗生素抗藥性(AMR)的發生率不斷上升,推動了抗生素市場的發展。當細菌、病毒、寄生蟲或真菌進化並對治療它們的藥物產生抗藥性時,就會發生抗菌素抗藥性。它降低了抗生素的有效性,導致感染時間更長、更嚴重、醫療費用增加以及個人死亡率高。抗生素的過度使用和濫用會導致抗藥性細菌的產生,從而降低傳統抗生素的效果。此外,多重抗藥性菌株,如抗甲氧西林金黃色葡萄球菌(MRSA)和抗碳青黴烯類腸桿菌(CRE)也更為常見。這就需要開發新的抗生素或替代療法來對抗這些抗藥性菌株。
抗生素技術進步
生物技術、分子生物學和藥物發現技術的創新有助於提高抗生素開發的效率和有效性。基因組學和高通量篩選可以識別潛在的藥物標靶並篩選大型化合物庫。此外,電腦輔助藥物設計可以預測藥物療效並最佳化候選抗生素。這些技術進步簡化了抗生素的發現過程,並減少了與傳統方法相關的時間和成本。此外,診斷技術的進步,例如快速病原體識別和藥物敏感性測試,有助於適當的抗生素選擇和處方,從而改善患者的治療效果。此外,技術進步有助於開發新的、更有效的抗生素來解決傳染病和抗菌素抗藥性。
The global antibiotics market size reached US$ 51.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 70.7 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% during 2024-2032. The growing prevalence of pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other infectious diseases among individuals, rising occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and technological advancements in biotechnology and drug discovery techniques are some of the major factors propelling the market.
Antibiotics are a class of medications that are used to treat bacterial infections. They are widely available in various forms, such as pills, capsules, injections, creams, and ointments. They either kill bacteria or inhibit their growth to effectively eliminate infections. They target specific mechanisms or structures within bacterial cells and interfering with their vital functions and preventing their reproduction. Besides this, they assist in enhancing the immune system of individuals. As a result, antibiotics are utilized to treat various diseases, such as urinary tract infections (UTI), respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and certain sexually transmitted diseases among individuals.
At present, the increasing prevalence of numerous chronic diseases among the masses around the world is contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, the wide availability of antibiotics through online and offline stores across the globe is strengthening the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing demand for topical antibiotics, as they minimize the risk of surgical site infections among individuals, is positively influencing the market. Moreover, the increasing employment of antibiotics in livestock farming to safeguard animal health and welfare and support food safety is bolstering the growth of the market. In line with this, the rising demand for antibiotics among the geriatric population is supporting the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing consumer awareness about preventive healthcare measures is impelling the growth of the market.
Rising prevalence of infectious diseases
There is a rise in the prevalence of infectious diseases, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, urinary tract infections (UTI), gastrointestinal infections, and sepsis, among the masses across the globe. People are increasingly suffering from these diseases due to inadequate sanitation, which contributes to the spread of bacterial infections. In addition, the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria is increasing the demand for antibiotics. There is a rise in the demand for effective antibiotics that assist in treating these infections. Antibiotics are specifically designed to target and eliminate bacterial infections. They effectively kill bacteria in the body and promote healing among individuals. Furthermore, antibiotics are used under the guidance of healthcare professionals to optimize patient outcomes.
Increasing occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
There is a rise in the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across the globe, which is driving the antibiotics market. AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi evolve and become resistant to the drugs used to treat them. It reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics and causes longer and more severe infections, increased healthcare costs, and high mortality rates among individuals. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics are contributing to the development of drug-resistant bacteria, which makes traditional antibiotics less effective. In addition, multidrug-resistant strains, such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), are more prevalent. This necessitates the development of new antibiotics or alternative treatments to combat these resistant strains.
Technological advancements in antibiotics
Innovations in biotechnology, molecular biology, and drug discovery techniques assist in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of antibiotic development. Genomics and high-throughput screening allow the identification of potential drug targets and the screening of large compound libraries. Moreover, computer-aided drug design enables the prediction of drug efficacy and optimizes antibiotic candidates. These technological advancements streamline the antibiotic discovery process and reduce the time and costs associated with traditional methods. Additionally, advancements in diagnostic techniques, such as rapid pathogen identification and susceptibility testing, assist in appropriate antibiotic selection and prescribing that provides enhanced patient outcomes. Furthermore, technological advancements aid in the development of new and more potent antibiotics to address infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.
