Antifungal Agents Market

Global Antifungal Agents Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Drug Class (Polyene, Echinocandins, Allylamines, and Azole), By Dosage Type (Powder, Ointment, and Drugs), By Route of Administration (Parenteral, Topical, and Oral), Forecast Period 2021-2027

Published: Jul 2019 | Report Code: OMR2024041 | Category : Pharmaceuticals | Delivery Format: /

The global antifungal agents market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of nearly 3.5% during the forecast period. Antifungal agents prevent and destroy the growth of fungi that are responsible for several diseases such as aspergillosis, ringworm, and skin infection, among others. Antifungal drugs include azoles, polyenes, echinocandins, and allylamines. Antifungal agents are a class of drugs that are used to detect and eliminate fungal infections from the body with minimal side effects. The major factor contributing to the growth of the market include the rising number of patients suffering from hygiene-related issues in emerging countries. However, the availability of alternative treatments is expected to hinder the growth of the market.

Another major factor contributing to the growth of the market include the rising incidences of fungal diseases. The fungal disease causes serious illness and death and many fungal diseases go undiagnosed. There is no government surveillance for common fungal infections such as ringworm and vaginal candidacies. According to the 2019 Antibiotic Resistance Threats report, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that each year in the US, there are more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections and more than 35,000 people die as a result. The report prioritizes bacteria and fungi into one of four categories based on level of concern: Urgent, Serious, Concerning, and Watch List, with urgent being the highest threat level. Infectious disease is responsible for more than 8.4 billion mortalities globally and is accounted for two of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) top ten causes of mortalities globally. 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Antifungal Agents Market

The market has a sudden and dramatic impact on healthcare. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for antifungal agents. The patients hospitalized for the treatment of COVID-19 are at risk of healthcare-associated infections including candidemia or bloodstream infections caused by Candida. Other fungal diseases such as valley fever, histoplasmosis, and blastomycosis can cause fever, cough similar to COVID-19, and bacterial pneumonia. There is an increase in the number of black fungus cases in India among patients recovered from COVID-19 having diabetes and other health issues. This may have increased the adoption of antifungal agents.

Segmental Outlook 

The global antifungal agents market is segmented based on drug class, dosage type, and route of administration. Based on drug class, it is segmented into polyene, echinocandins, allylamines, and azole. Based on dosage type, it is further classified into powders, ointments, and drugs.  Based on the route of administration, it is further classified into parenteral, topical, and oral.

Azole Segment Holds Significant Share in the Market

In 2020, the Azole group segment holds the largest share in the market and is also anticipated to grow during the forecast period. Azoles are synthetic and semi-compounds that are used for the treatment of invasive fungal infections. The drug is used to treat yeast infection, candidiasis, aspergillosis, ringworm, nail fungus, fungal infections, mycosis, thrush, and tinea versicolor. Additionally, the drugs are available in different forms such as oral tablets, oral capsules, cream, vaginal cream, sterile IV solution, and tablets.

Regional Outlook

The global antifungal agents market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America). North America is expected to account for the largest market share owing to the rising incidences of fungal infections and hospital-acquired infections. The antifungal agents market is expected to grow considerably in the Asia-Pacific region. The factors contributing to the growth of the region include the rising incidence of black fungus (Mucormycosis) and healthcare-associated infections including candidemia in the region. Amid the second wave of COVID-19, there were some reported cases of black fungus infection in India.
