Listeria Monocytogenes Infection Treatment Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence
The Listeria Monocytogenes Infection Treatment Market size is estimated at USD 471.98 million in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 583.96 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.35% during the forecast period (2025-2030).
Listeriosis is a rare but serious infectious disease caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. The increasing global incidence of listeria monocytogenes infections plays a pivotal role in driving the treatment market for this bacterial pathogen. Several factors contribute to this trend, including heightened awareness, advancements in diagnostic technologies, and the resulting prompt identification and treatment of cases.
Vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women, elderly and immunocompromised individuals, are at a higher risk of severe complications from Listeria infections. The need for effective treatments in these populations drives market growth. Pregnancy-associated listeriosis is a severe infectious disease and potentially leads to fetal/neonatal fatal. For instance, one of the retrospective cohort study that published by the BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth in March 2022, which states that Pregnancy-associated listeriosis poses severe risks to neonates, particularly those who are outborn, have low birth weights, or are of low gestational age. It's crucial to prioritize timely detection and treatment for these vulnerable neonates.
Moreover, prolonged outbreak of listeria monocytogenes ST173 linked to consumption of food products is a mjor factors that drive the demand for the treatment of listeria monocytogenes infection. Such as in June 2024, European Food Safety Authority, published data that between 2012 and 2024, 73 cases of listeria monocytogenes ST173 infections detected in Belgium, Czechia, Germany, Finland, Italy, the Netherlands and in the United Kingdom. The source states that individuals over the age of 60 constitute the most impacted. Case interviews also reveal that the majority of affected patients consumed a range of fish products prior to falling ill.
Thus, by leveraging the insights from the European Food Safety Authority data and responding proactively to the identified trends and risk factors associated with listeria monocytogenes infections in the elderly population, stakeholders in the healthcare, and pharmaceutical can drive innovations in treatment modalities, improve patient outcomes which in trun drive the market growth.
However, the absence of specific and targeted treatment options for different strains and manifestations of listeria monocytogenes infections can hinder effective disease management.
Global Listeria Monocytogenes Infection Treatment Market Trends and Insights
Drug Segment is Expected to Dominate the Listeria Monocytogenes Infection Treatment Market during the Forecast Period
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen that causes septicemia, meningitis and chorioamnionitis and is associated with high mortality. Antibiotics are the primary treatment for listeria monocytogenes infections. In term of drug class, the listeria monocytogenes infection treatment market is segmented into sulfonamide antibiotics, ampicillin, gentamicin, vancomycin and others.
Key drivers fueling the growth of this drug segment during the forecast period include its proven effectiveness against listeria, its ability to penetrate cells and eliminate the bacteria, its synergistic benefits when combined with other antibiotics, its widespread adoption for treating listeriosis, and endorsements from reputable organizations advocating its efficacy.
Antibiotic such as ampicillin is highly effective against listeria monocytogenes, as this bacterium is generally susceptible to beta-lactam antibiotics like ampicillin. According to National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc., the most prescribed treatment for listeria monocytogenes infectionis intravenous ampicillin. For affected individuals who cannot tolerate B-lactam antibiotics (such as ampicillin), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole is recommended.
Moreover, antibiotic like ampicillin is often used in combination with gentamicin for more severe cases of listeria infections, as the combination exhibits synergistic effects against the pathogen. For instance, in January 2023, a study was published in IDCases, which states that combination therapies, such as adding gentamicin to ampicillin, have been reported to be most effective against the listeria monocytogenes bacterium. Such publishing of studies encouraging healthcare professional to adopt the combination theray to treat the infection more effectively and subsequently boosting the demand for this drug treatment.
Thus, such recommendation from the established organization is likey to drive the segment growth during the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Dominate the Listeria Monocytogenes Infection Treatment Market
North America is expected to hold a significant share owing to the increase in the outbreak of listeria monocytogenes infection, adoption of advances diagnostic technologies, such as rapid molecular testing and strong regulatory frameworks and enforcement of food safety standards can help reduce the risk of Listeria contamination in food products ae some factors that drive the listeria monocytogenes infection treatment market in the North America.
As the number of reported Listeria monocytogenes infections rises, there is a corresponding increase in the demand for effective treatment options to manage and combat these infections, driving the market for Listeria infection treatments. For instance, in April 2024, the CDC began investigating a multistate outbreak of listeria monocytogenes linked to queso fresco and cotija cheese. As of April 10, 2024, the outbreak has resulted in 26 reported illnesses, with 23 individuals hospitalized and 2 fatalities.
Similarly, On July 8, 2024, a food recall warning was issued by Public Health Agency of Canada for various silk and great value brand plant-based refrigerated beverages for whch 15 people was hospitalized and 3 dealth. The presence of the listeria monocytogenes outbreak strain was confirmed within the production environment of the beverages.
Thus the continous outbreak of the listeria monocytogenes infection in the North America is accelerating demand for the effective treatment and is likely to drive the market growth in the region.
