Antibiotics Market size was valued at USD 45.6 billion in 2023 and is estimated to expand at 3.3% CAGR from 2024 to 2032. The global market is experiencing dynamic growth driven by factors such as the growing aging population and the continual development of novel antibiotic formulations.
Also, rising incidence of infectious diseases is driving an increased demand for antibiotics in the market. For instance, a Lancet eClinical medicine report highlighted an elevation in the antibiotic prescriptions for 75% of COVID-19 patients, with sales of crucial antibiotics surging between May 2020 and May 2022. Thus, with rising infections, the demand for potent antimicrobial treatments surged, thereby significantly impacting the market expansion.
Antibiotics are a class of antimicrobial drugs designed to inhibit the growth or destroy bacteria, alleviating bacterial infections. Antibiotics interfere with the vital process essential for bacterial survival, either by disrupting the cell wall synthesis, protein production, or DNA replication. Antibiotics are prescribed to treat bacterial infections ranging from respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections (UTI) to skin infection as well as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
