The global antibiotics market is expected to grow at growth rate of 4.9% to reach USD 59.6 billion by 2025.

Rising prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases drive the market growth to great extent. For example, according to the Epidemiology & Community Health Research, infectious diseases remain one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity across the globe. This would, in turn, increase the demand for antibiotics, driving the market growth. In addition, rising approval of novel and effective antibiotics by government organizations drive the market growth. For example, in February 2015, AstraZeneca’s Ceftazidime-avibactam (Avycaz) was approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal (cIAI) infections. Similarly, in May 2014, the U.S. FDA approved Dalbavancin (Dalvance) for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. All such factors, along with, rising geriatric population, advancement in technologies, and increasing demand for effective therapeutics are driving the industry demand. However, stringent regulatory policies, high research and development cost and growing concern over antibiotic overuse are likely to hamper the market growth over the future period.

Key Takeaways
