Cephalosporin drugs are a group of broad-spectrum, semi-synthetic beta-lactam antibiotics generally used for the treatment of bacterial infections such as bacterial meningitis, otitis media, pneumonia, tuberculosis, upper respiratory tract infection, eye infections, sinusitis, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. Most commonly used cephalosporin are cephalexin, ceftriaxone, cefixime, cefdinir, and cefaclor. The cephalosporin drugs market holds a huge potential in the sub-Saharan countries of Africa such as Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal, as these countries have high prevalence of bacterial infections due to underdeveloped healthcare facilities and infrastructure. For instance, according to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) report of February 2021, the highest burden of this disease is in the belt of sub-Saharan Africa, stretching from Senegal in the west to Ethiopia in the east. Around 30,000 cases are still reported each year from that area.
Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of respiratory tract infections worldwide is expected to boost the cephalosporin drugs market growth. For instance, according to the report of The Global Impact of Respiratory Disease in 2017, lower respiratory tract infection and pneumonia are two of the leading causes of death, accounting for over 4 million fatalities, annually. Furthermore, pneumonia killed 920,136 children aged under 5 years in 2015, accounting for 15% of the deaths in this age group. Streptococcus pneumoniae remains the most frequent bacterial cause of pneumonia, accounting for deaths of 393,000 children aged under 5 years in 2015.
However, factors such as increasing Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalls is hindering the cephalosporin drugs market growth. For instance, in June 2019, Lupin Limited recalled 18,604 bottles (60 ml) of Cefdinir (Cephalosporin) for Oral Suspension, used for the treatment of bacterial infections, from the U.S. market. Furthermore, in January 2019, the company announced recall of 287,784 bottles of Cefdinir for Oral Suspension in the U.S. due to CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) deviations.
