Market Overview:
The global C difficile infection drug market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing incidence of C difficile infections, rising demand for novel drugs, and growing awareness about available treatment options. The global C difficile infection drug market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. On the basis of type, the market is segmented into metronidazole, vancomycin, fidaxomycin, and others. Metronidazole held a dominant position in 2017 owing to its high efficacy and low cost as compared to other drugs in this category. However, fidaxomycin is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period due its superior efficacy against various strains of C difficile bacteria as well as its safety profile. On the basis of application, pre-treatment accounted for a major share in 2017 owing to early diagnosis and initiation of treatment before symptoms worsen significantly.
Product Definition:
C difficile infection is a type of bacterial infection that can cause severe diarrhea. The infection is caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile, which is found in the gut flora of healthy people. However, when antibiotics are taken they can kill off other bacteria in the gut, allowing C difficile to overgrow and cause infection. C difficile infections can be serious and even life-threatening, especially in elderly patients or those with weakened immune systems. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria as well as aggressive supportive care to treat dehydration and other symptoms.
Metronidazole:
Metronidazole, it's usage and growth factor in C difficile infection drug market is expected to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and autoimmune disorders coupled with the growing geriatric population base is anticipated to drive the global metronidazole market. In addition, favorable government initiatives are also expected to boost demand for metronidazole over the forecast period.
Vancomycin:
Vancomycin is an antibiotic drug and is used in the treatment of bacterial infections. It works by killing the bacteria that causes infection. The drug has a wide range of applications, including skin infections, pneumonia, and food poisoning among others. In recent years vancomycin has gained popularity as a treatment for C difficile infection (CDI). According to research data published in NCBI; CDI affects around 1-2% of patients taking antibiotics for any illness.
Application Insights:
The pre-treatment segment dominated the global market in 2017. This can be attributed to an increase in hospital admissions for C difficile infections and rising demand for antibiotics. According to a study published by NCBI, it is estimated that around 15% of patients develop Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) after receiving antibiotic treatment, which requires some form of preventive therapy before the onset of symptoms.
Preventive measures taken prior to diagnosis help reduce the risk of developing CDI post completion antibiotic course. The use of metronidazole is one such measure adopted by healthcare professionals worldwide owing to its effectiveness in preventing recurrence as well as mortality associated with this condition.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The presence of a large number of players, high awareness levels regarding CDI treatment, and availability of reimbursement facilities are some factors attributing to its largest share. In addition, increasing incidence rates due to various factors such as changes in lifestyle and unhealthy diet are also contributing towards the growth of this disease is North America.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to rising disposable income coupled with growing health awareness among people especially patients suffering from CDI infection. Moreover, government initiatives for improving healthcare infrastructure along with increasing R&D activities by pharmaceutical companies for developing novel drugs will drive this regional market during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing incidence of C difficile infection
- Rising demand for novel and effective drugs for the treatment of C difficile infection
- Growing number of clinical trials for new drug therapies for C difficile infection
- increasing healthcare expenditure
- rising awareness about the prevention and treatment of C difficile infection
