Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Antibiotics Market size was valued at USD 50.55 billion in 2024 and is expected to cross USD 142.07 billion by the end of 2037, expanding at more than 8.2% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of antibiotics is estimated at USD 53.91 billion.

The growth of the market is primarily attributed to the worldwide growing prevalence of various communicable diseases, such as TB, HIV, and others. As per the World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, in 2020, an estimated 1.5 million (UI 1.0 to 2.0 million) people were infected with HIV for the first time. This brought the global HIV population to 38.4 million people by 2021.

Antibiotics are antibacterial compounds that are active against bacteria. It is the most common type of antibacterial agent used to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic medications are commonly used to treat and prevent such infections. They either kill or inhibit bacterial growth. Such factor is leading up the growing consumption of various types of antibiotics across the globe. For instance, global antibiotic consumption rates surged by 47% between 2000 and 2018 (from 9.8 to 14.3 defined daily doses (DDD) per 1000 people per day).

Antibiotics Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Prevalence of Respiratory Diseases - The respiratory system is a group of organs that regulates breathing. The lungs are the system's main organ, and it also consists of the pharynx, larynx, trachea, nasal tube, oral cavity, pharynx, and bronchi and bronchioles. Respiratory diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. These diseases need a preferred dose of antibiotics to control the further spread of bacteria. Therefore, growing prevalence of respiratory diseases is fueling up the antibiotics market growth. As per the World Health Organization statistics, globally, nearly 262 million individuals have been suffering from asthma.
  • Surge in Drug Combinations Over Mono-Therapy – It was observed in a clinical study that a database for antifungal therapy has nearly 5,517 medicines in 8,129 combinations that have been evaluated against 240 strains, yielding 491,126 samples.
  • Escalation in Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) – For instance, every year, more than 8 million patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) seek medical treatment. About 61% of women and 13% of men are predicted to get at least one UTI in their lives.
  • Boost in Global Burden of Bacterial Skin Diseases – Globally, the age-standardized estimated incidence of bacterial skin diseases was reached around 161 million for males and 133 million for females in 2019.
  • Growing Number of Older-Aged Population - According to the statistics of World Health Organization, the global population of people aged 60 and up is projected to increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion by 2030.

Challenges

  • Side Effects Associated with Antibiotics - Antibiotic side effects can include allergic reactions and severe, sometimes fatal diarrhea brought on by the bacterium Clostridium difficile (C. diff). Additionally, antibiotics may conflict with other medications.
  • Stringent Regulatory Procedures
  • Escalation in Antibiotic Resistance
