Factors Affecting the Growth of the Anti-infectives Industry:

• Rising Antibiotic Resistance

The Anti-infectives Market is poised for increasing demand as patients and providers recognize the growing incidence of antibiotic resistance in which many of the classic treatments are no longer effective. The rise of superbugs, including MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis are fueling the need for new antibiotics and alternative therapies. Pharmaceutical companies have spent significant money in research to develop next-generation anti-infectives. We now have new combinations of antibiotics, as well as alternative therapies, such as phage therapy. Moreover, public health campaigns have counseled more responsible use of antibiotics and governments have put in place more stringent regulations regarding antibiotic use to combat misuse. Collectively, these drivers are advancing innovation and creating markets, with a focus on using precision medicine to target resistant pathogens effectively, which will create better patient outcomes and ultimately support continued growth of the market.

• Expanding Vaccination Programs

Vaccination programs across the globe are affecting the Anti-infectives Market as they reduce the number of preventable infectious disease cases. The increase in funding for immunization programs, especially in emerging countries, is driving the demand for vaccines preventing illnesses such as influenza, HPV infections, and viruses emerging from new pathogenic structures. Alternative vaccine platforms with new technology (e.g., mRNA, etc.) are validating the vaccine development process and improving efficacy. Public–private partnerships are improving access to vaccines and providing a pathway to market growth, emphasizing the need for access, affordability and scale to meet the demands of the global population. Vaccines and the importance of the abstinence of illness in the administration of preventive health care are deemphasizing the heavy use of therapeutic anti-infectives in clinical settings moving forward. The vaccines market continues to grow and receive investment and interest due to its association of health with population health and public health decisions being made by government.

• Growing Biosimilar Adoption

Biosimilar adoption has recently taken off in the Anti-Infectives Market because many important biologics have lost patent exclusivity and offer a more affordable option compared to the expensive anti-infective therapies available. The growth of biosimilars has been focused primarily on monoclonal antibodies and other biologics used to treat infections, and that trend continues, particularly in emerging markets, and regions with the greatest prevalence of disease. Regulatory approvals for biosimilars are becoming less onerous, thus stimulating competition and the emergence of new biosimilars. Important social change is happening that will continue to improve access to advanced treatments, but also make healthcare cheaper by leveraging cheaper biosimilars. Pharmaceutical companies are seriously focusing on biosimilars to capture any market share possible, therefore stimulating demand for cheaper, yet effective biosimilars particularly in regions where they have limited budgets for healthcare.

We explore the factors propelling the anti-infectives market growth, including technological advancements, consumer behaviors, and regulatory changes.
