Urinary Tract Infection Treatment Therapeutics Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Therapeutics Market Analysis

The Urinary Tract Infection Therapeutics Market size is expected to grow from USD 9.12 billion in 2023 to USD 10.45 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 2.77% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

The unprecedented increase in coronavirus-infected patients had reduced access to other primary care services and resulted in a significant drop in non-COVID-19-related diagnoses, such as urinary tract infection. The weekly rate of UTI diagnosis fell slightly in 2020, which may have slowed the industry's growth in recent months. According to a study published in the ADIAN Journal in December 2020, a significant decrease in urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnoses due to the COVID-19 pandemic raises concern. When people with COVID-19 were infected with SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic changed primary care dramatically. This resulted in fewer patients seeking primary care services and fewer diagnoses, including UTIs. Between March 30 and April 24, 2020, the weekly rate of UTI diagnosis per 100,000 population fell from an average of 30-35 to less than 10 in England. Since April, the rate has risen by 50% of the usual rate. The increase in the rate of UTI diagnosis has positively impacted market growth. Certain factors driving the market growth include the increasing prevalence of diabetes and kidney stones and the launch of combination drugs.

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), in March 2020, by Leonardo Ferreira, kidney stones were a common ailment, with an annual incidence of eight instances per 1,000 persons. As per the same source, around 13% of men and 7% of women may develop a kidney stone during their lifetime, and the total incidence of urinary retention in the US is 4.5 to 6.8 per 1,000 men per year. Moreover, according to the International Federation of Diabetics report in 2021, diabetes affected approximately 463 million persons aged 20 to 79 years worldwide in 2020. This number is anticipated to climb to 643 million by 2030 and 700 million by 2045. In most countries, the proportion of people with Type 2 diabetes is increasing, and diabetes affects 79% of adults in low- and middle-income countries. Urinary tract infections can be especially troublesome for people with diabetes because sugar in the urine serves as a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, with the increasing prevalence of diabetes and kidney stones, the number of cases of urinary tract infection (UTI) increases, increasing the demand for drugs, thus, driving the global urinary tract infection therapeutics market.

Additionally, the launch of more efficient combination drugs and the increasing geriatric population is expected to boost the growth of the urinary tract infection therapeutics market. For instance, in February 2020, Allecra, a French pharmaceutical company, announced Exblifep, a combination of enmetazobactam, a novel extended-spectrum beta-lactamase inhibitor, and cefepime, a fourth-generation cephalosporin that met primary endpoints in a clinical trial for complicated UTIs.

However, adverse events associated with the use of medication and the lack of awareness about the prevalence of UTIs in developing and underdeveloped countries are restraining the market's growth.
