Global acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections market is estimated to be valued at USD 4,073.4 Mn in 2025, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period (2025-2032). Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) refer to common bacterial infections that involve the skin and surrounding tissue or structures such as major cutaneous abscesses, cellulitis, and infected wounds or ulcers. Some of the common bacteria that cause ABSSSI include Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. With rising antibiotic resistance and increasing risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, and lifestyle changes, the global incidence of ABSSSI increases.
Market Dynamics:
Growing geriatric population worldwide coupled with rising prevalence of comorbidities such as diabetes increases the risk of ABSSSI. According to the International Diabetes Federation, approximately 463 million adults aged 20-79 years lived with diabetes in 2020, and this figure is projected to rise to over 700 million by 2045. The elderly are also more susceptible to skin and soft tissue infections. Rapid urbanization and changes in lifestyle that compromise immune health have further increased the ABSSSI disease burden globally. However, stringent regulations pertaining to clinical trials and drug approvals can hinder the market growth. Ongoing R&D for novel antibacterial medications and rapid adoption of advanced wound care therapies offers lucrative opportunities in the market.
