Cryptococcosis Therapeutics Market size was valued at USD 4.8 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to witness growth at a CAGR of 4.7% between 2024 and 2032. The increasing incidence of HIV/AIDS, which significantly predisposes individuals to cryptococcal infections, is a major driver.
For instance, as per the CDC, each year, an estimated 152,000 cases of cryptococcal meningitis occur among people living with HIV worldwide. Thus, as HIV/AIDS prevalence continues to rise globally, particularly in developing regions, the demand for effective treatments for cryptococcosis is expected to increase. Additionally, advancements in diagnostic techniques and early detection methods are enhancing treatment initiation and improving patient outcomes. Moreover, ongoing research and development efforts aimed at developing novel antifungal agents with improved efficacy and safety profiles are likely to further stimulate market growth.

Cryptococcosis therapeutics refers to the treatment methods and medications used to manage and treat cryptococcosis, a fungal infection caused primarily by Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. Cryptococcosis is the broader term that refers to any infection caused by the Cryptococcus fungus. It can manifest in various forms, including pulmonary cryptococcosis (infection of the lungs) and cryptococcal meningitis (infection of the brain and spinal cord). These fungi are commonly found in the environment and can cause serious infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals such as those with HIV/AIDS or organ transplant recipients.
