Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Epidural Abscess Treatment Market size was valued at USD 45.6 billion in 2024 and is set to exceed USD 150.14 billion by 2037, expanding at over 9.6% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of epidural abscess treatment is evaluated at USD 52.87 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing stances of epidural abscesses throughout the world. For instance, in 2022, around 0.7 to 1.8 cases of spinal epidural abscesses were reported for every 10,000 hospital admissions across the globe. Furthermore, the rapid increase in medical research and development activities and the significant rise in the aged populace are also estimated to drive market growth over the forecast period.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of epidural abscess treatment include the worldwide expansion in spinal surgeries. For instance, globally approximately 350 million spinal surgeries were performed in 2022. In addition to this, rising risks of infection caused by back and head surgeries are also estimated to boost the market growth in the coming years. Besides this, the surging cases of chronic ear infections are also anticipated to fuel the market growth as the such infection starts with swelling, severe pain, or an infection behind the eardrum which can permanently damage the eardrum.
Epidural Abscess Treatment Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
-
The Surge in Head Surgeries – Several kinds of head surgeries are performed to treat numerous conditions related to the brain and head. Head surgeries such as craniotomy, craniectomy, biopsy, and so on have been done to treat the conditions such as brain aneurysms, defective brain tissues, brain tumors, and other neurological disorders, and so on. These surgical processes have huge chances of developing epidural abscesses over time. Hence, this factor is estimated to fuel the market growth in the projected time frame. For instance, globally over 15 million people require head surgery as of the increasing ratio of several neurological disorders.
-
Rising Cases of Otitis Media – Otitis media is a chronic ear infection that causes fluid, inflammation or an infection behind the eardrum. Recurring ear infection, and acute ear infection that does not heal completely cause chronic ear infection. A prolonged condition of such chronic ear infection can lead to the staphylococcus aureus bacterial infection which causes an epidural abscess. Hence, this factor is estimated to drive market growth in the coming years. For instance, by 2022, the frequency of chronic otitis media increased to around 680 people per 100,000 individuals throughout the world.
-
Increasing Ratio of Traumatic Brain Injury - A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a sudden injury that causes brain damage. It can happen as a result of a jolt, bump, or blow to the head. Many times, such an injury can cause a severe kind of infection that may develop into an epidural abscess over time. This, as a factor, is also anticipated to drive market growth over the projected time frame. For instance, an estimated 1.8 million people in the US survive traumatic brain injuries each year.
-
An Escalating Investment in R&D Activities - For instance, the pharmaceutical industry invested roughly USD 86 billion in research and development activities in 2019. These expenses were incurred for a variety of operations, such as drug development and testing, clinical studies for safety evaluation, and so on.
-
Rising Ratio of People Who Inject Drugs – According to the World Health Organization report, around 11 million people worldwide inject drugs.
Challenges
-
Difficult Diagnosis of Abscess - A spinal epidural abscess is challenging to identify and needs a high level of awareness. A spinal epidural abscess can result in substantial morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Hence, this factor is estimated to hinder market growth in the coming years.

Epidural Abscess Treatment Segmentation
End-user (Hospital, Pharmacy, Specialty Clinics)
The global epidural abscess treatment market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into hospital, pharmacy, specialty clinics, and others. Out of these four types of segments, the hospital segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about 41% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing healthcare expenditure, followed by the surging cases of epidural abscess, and the surging ratio of people who require immediate treatment for this condition. For instance, in 2021, an increase of approximately 2% to 5% was reported in intracranial epidural abscess (IEAs) cases throughout the world. In addition to this, an expansion in awareness about epidural abscesses in developed countries is also estimated to propel the segment growth in the projected time frame.
Treatment (Antifungal Drugs, Antibiotics, Surgery)
The global epidural abscess treatment market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by treatment into antifungal drugs, antibiotics, and surgery. Amongst these three segments, the surgery segment is expected to garner a significant share of around 75% in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be credited to the rising patient pool with spinal epidural abscesses (SEAs), which mostly seek surgical treatment for a better cure of the such condition. Moreover, the higher efficacy of surgical procedures including decompressions, and open or minimally invasive procedures to treat the spinal epidural abscess is also anticipated to drive the segment growth over the projected time frame. On the other hand, the antibiotics segment is projected to witness a massive CAGR during the forecast period, owing to the rising usage of antibiotics in the effective treatment of epidural abscesses in conjunction with surgical procedures. The normal duration of antibiotic treatment is nearly 3 to 4 weeks to treat a patient with an epidural abscess. Besides this, some spinal epidural abscesses can be treated by only giving a dose of antibiotics for around 4-6 weeks.
