Historical Sales Analysis in Anti-fungal Therapy Market Vs Demand Forecast

The market share for anti-fungal therapies was around 30.8% of the overall global antibiotics market, which was worth USD 42.5 billion in 2022. The market grew at a CAGR of 3.0% during the historical period.

Historical CAGR (2017 to 2022) 3.0%

The demand for anti-fungal therapies expanded at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2023 to 2033, owing to the rising cases of fungal diseases like candidiasis, aspergillosis and onychomycosis.Anti-fungal therapies are widely employed in the mycosis control and treatment/mycosis management market.

People are looking for products that would promote faster recovery and prevention of fungal diseases. Over the forecast period, the market is projected to be driven by the pharmaceutical industries’ formulations and the ongoing developments in the discovery of novel treatments for fungal diseases.

For instance, on 7 June 2022, the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Sanofi Dupixent (dupilumab) for children who are six months to 5 years old with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis.

Furthermore, the market for anti-fungal therapies is growing due to rising new drug development and clinical trials activities. For instance, three novel antifungals are undergoing phase II and phase III clinical studies, namely rezafungin, olorofim, and fosmanogepix by Amplyx Pharmaceuticals, which were acquired by Pfizer in April 2022.

Key Opportunities in the Anti-fungal Therapy Market

The market is anticipated to grow as a result of an increase in initiatives by private and public organizations to spread awareness about a variety of fungal illnesses. For instance, CDC (Centres For Disease Control And Prevention) and its partners organized Fungal Disease Awareness Week, September 20-24, 2022. The purpose of this program is to highlight the importance of detecting and diagnosing serious fungal diseases early in patients to provide life-saving treatment.

Fungal infections of the eyes, mouth, and skin, including superficial and systematic infections, are projected to fuel market expansion. The availability and effective adoption of generic antifungal drugs like miconazole, clotrimazole, and econazole for the treatment of fungal infections create significant opportunities in the market. Anti-fungal therapies that doctors strongly prescribe for patients to treat fungal infections are also considered one of the key factors in boosting the market.

Restraints in the Anti-fungal Therapy Market

Sometimes, antifungal therapy is harmful to the patient and causes side effects such as heart arrhythmia, oliguria, promethazine and muscle spasms or pain. For instance, according to the National Library of Medicine, amphotericin B deoxycholate therapy is known to cause side effects like chills, the risk of hypotension, migraines, hypomagnesemia, renal insufficiency, emesis, rigors, and pyrexia.

The market is expected to be hampered by strict government regulations, patent expirations, an increase in fungal resistance to drugs, etc., during the projected period. Furthermore, it is anticipated that rising drug recall rates may hamper the market's expansion. These factors cumulatively propose a negative effect on the growth of the anti-fungal therapy market.
