Saudi Arabia antibiotics market is projected to grow at a steady CAGR during the forecast period, 2023-2027. The market growth can be attributed to the rising incidences of infectious disease and the rapidly growing pharmaceutical industry. Besides, a surge in demand for antibiotics to counter the expanding number of infectious disorders is expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
Antibiotics are therapeutic substances with the capacity to either kill or impair the life cycles of the bacteria responsible for diseases and disorders. They cannot counteract viral infections like cold, flu, etc., since viruses, unlike bacteria, do not have cell walls that can be broken to kill the infection. Furthermore, viruses employ human cells to finish their replication process, eliminating viruses to cause serious harm to human cells. Antibodies are consequently used to treat bacterial infections.
In recent years, the healthcare business has experienced remarkable growth. The pharmaceutical industry is continuing to grow due to rising investments, drug discovery, and an increase in disease incidence. The pharmaceutical sector in Saudi Arabia generated USD 8.35 billion in revenue in 2019 and USD 10.19 billion in 2020.
Additionally, government spending on healthcare development is aggressively promoting market expansion. The Saudi Arabia antibiotics industry is expected to expand over the next five years owing to advantageous programs, quick pharmaceutical approvals, and a wide distribution network.
