Antibiotic Resistance Market To Reach $12.48 Billion By 2030

Antibiotic Resistance Market Growth & Trends

The global antibiotic resistance market size is expected to reach USD 12.48 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.27% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rise in the number of antibiotic-resistant infections due to misuse or overuse of antibiotics is a major factor attributing to market growth. Moreover, the increasing patient base across the globe and high costs associated with the treatment of diseases is anticipated to boost the market growth over the forecast period.

The prevalence of gram-negative infections is increasing at an alarming rate. These infections have lesser treatment options available in the market. The high unmet needs result in high demand for new therapies and, therefore, small and medium-sized pharmaceutical companies are actively involved in the development of novel treatment options. Moreover, the government and other organizations are also aiding research activities to drive the development of innovative therapies.

Multiple mid-level biotechnology companies have entered the arena with targeted therapies for antibiotic-resistant infections. Various manufacturers are developing therapies, especially for drug-resistant infections, that target a smaller population subset.

The U.S. government in alliance with BARDA is supporting several companies to boost the development of new therapies for antibiotic-resistant diseases. BARDA has also been associated with pharmaceutical companies such as GSK; Tetraphase; Basilea; Astra Zeneca; and many more. Many countries and international organizations have formed dedicated groups or alliances to monitor and study the pattern of drug-resistant infections.

For instance, the WHO has introduced the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS) to monitor antibiotic-resistant infections at a global level. Similarly, the Public Health Agency of Canada has introduced the Canadian Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (CARSS) to study drug-resistant infections pattern at the country level.

However, according to a review published by WHO in March 2023, the antibiotics pipeline activities are limited, with only 12 new antibiotics being approved between 2017 and 2021. The review further stated that there are only 27 new candidates under development, out of which only 6 are considered “innovative” enough to be capable of overcoming antibiotic resistance as defined by WHO.
