Market Overview:
The global oral antibiotics market size reached US$ 19,654.50 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 24,267 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.80% during 2023-2028. The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases, expanding geriatric population, escalating demand for effective treatments against drug-resistant bacteria, and the growing trend of personalized medicine and genomics represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Oral antibiotics are pharmaceutical agents primarily prescribed to inhibit bacterial growth or eliminate bacteria from the body. They are usually taken by mouth and are utilized across a wide range of medical applications. The types of infections treated by oral antibiotics vary and include common ailments such as skin, ear, throat, and urinary tract infections and more complex conditions like certain types of pneumonia. These antibiotics are categorized into different classes, each with a distinct mechanism of action. Some commonly prescribed classes include penicillins, fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, and macrolides. Each class targets different types of bacteria and is more effective for specific bacterial infections. For instance, penicillins are widely used for streptococcal infections, while fluoroquinolones may be chosen to combat certain gram-negative bacteria. As a result, oral antibiotics are a key element of modern healthcare and are widely prescribed by healthcare professionals to enable the successful treatment of numerous bacterial infections.
Oral Antibiotics Market Trends:
The increasing prevalence of infectious diseases and the rising public awareness about the available treatment options for these conditions represent the primary factors supporting market growth. Moreover, the expanding geriatric population that is more susceptible to developing such infections is another major factor fueling the market growth. In addition, there has been a rise in antibiotic stewardship programs aimed at encouraging the widespread use of antibiotics, slowing down the emergence of antibiotic resistance, and ensuring the prolonged effectiveness of these drugs. Along with this, the growing issue of antibiotic resistance has compelled researchers and pharmaceutical companies to modify existing classes and develop new antibiotics capable of treating multi-drug resistant bacteria, thereby accelerating the product adoption rate. Furthermore, the leading pharmaceutical companies and research institutes are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the drug discovery process to predict bacterial resistance patterns, understand drug-bacteria interactions, and expedite the discovery of novel antibiotics. In line with this, the emergence of personalized medicine and genomics, which involves tailoring antibiotic treatment to individual patients by considering factors such as their genetic makeup to enhance treatment effectiveness and minimize side effects, has catalyzed market growth. Other factors, including escalating demand for effective treatments against drug-resistant bacteria, improving healthcare infrastructure, the continual launch of novel oral antibiotics, and heavy investments in research and development (R&D) activities, are also anticipated to propel the market growth in the coming years.
