Gonorrhea Treatment Drugs Market Highlights 2020 – 2029
The gonorrhea treatment drugs market is estimated to grow at a modest CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2021 – 2029. The growth of the market can be attributed to the growing prevalence of gonorrhea, increasing incidents of unprotected sex, and rise in implementation of national screening programs. In 2018, more than 1.5 million gonococcal infections occurred in the United States. Among these, more than half of the people were aged between 15-24 years. Along with these, huge investments in the R&D activities to develop effective treatment options is also expected to drive market growth in the near future. Furthermore, improvement in healthcare infrastructure in developed nations and expanding advent of new diagnostic tests are evaluated to offer lucrative opportunities to the market in the coming years.
The market is segmented by treatment into monotherapy and dual therapy, out of which, the dual therapy segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the gonorrhea treatment drugs market on account of increasing preference of this therapy over monotherapy for treating symptomatic and asymptomatic gonorrhea, and the rising adoption of the treatment regime globally. Moreover, as dual therapy with azithromycin and ceftriaxone is considered to be as the first-line regimen for treating gonorrhea, the segment is anticipated to also witness noteworthy growth in the forecast period. Additionally, on the basis of distribution channel, the segment for hospital pharmacies is evaluated to occupy the largest market share during the forecast period. This can be credited to the ease to receive prescribed medicines from the hospital facility itself.
