September 2023 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Anti-infective Agents Market Growth & Trends

The global anti-infective agents market size is expected to reach USD 150.6 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 1.2% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising prevalence of infectious diseases such as HIV, H1N1, and Ebola virus reflect the profound changes in behavioral patterns of communities over the recent decades. The societal changes and increasing awareness among healthcare professionals and patients are driving the growth.

Organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease control and Prevention (CDC) are actively involved in spreading awareness amongstpeople regarding the fatal implications of infectious diseases and the importance of early treatment. The CDC has collaborated with the National Health Ministry (NHM) in an attempt to spread awareness and to enhance the treatment of communicable diseases in developing countries such as Brazil, China, Nigeria, and India.

However, introduction of novel therapeutics with increased potency and efficacy and the commercialization of pipeline products, such as commercialization of Omadacycline in 2018 for the treatment of Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP), are expected to propel the growth of the anti-infective agents market.
