Cephalosporin Drugs Market - Trends and Opportunity Analysis, 2019-2026

Posted by Rajkumar on August 20th, 2019

Cephalosporin is a large group of antibiotics that belongs to a class known as beta-lactams. Cephalosporin is a wide spectrum bactericidal antibiotic used for the treatment of several bacterial infections. Cephalosporin drugs are available as both branded and generic medicines. Different generations of cephalosporin are used and preferred for different indications. The third-generation is the most prescribed and broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents useful in a variety of clinical situations. Cefotaxime and ceftizoxime have the best gram-positive bactericidal activity of the third-generation cephalosporin. Ceftazidime and cefoperazone are the only third-generation drugs that provide anti-pseudomonal coverage. Ceftriaxone's long half-life allows for once-daily dosing, making ceftriaxone an excellent drug for outpatient antibiotic therapy of community-acquired infections.

The global cephalosporin drugs market size was valued at US$ 14,240.0 million in 2018, and is expected to witness a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period (2019 – 2026).

Increasing Drug Approvals and R&D Activities is expected to Drive Growth of the Cephalosporin Drugs Market

Approvals and launch of novel products is expected to be a major factor driving the global cephalosporin drugs market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2019, Merck & Co. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved its supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for the use of ZERBAXA (ceftolozane and tazobactam) for the treatment of patients 18 years and older with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia.

Increasing research and development activities has spurred growth of the cephalosporin drugs market. For instance, in November 2017, B. Braun Medical Inc. initiated a clinical trial of Cefazolin infusion evaluating the safety of 1 g and 2 g of Cefazolin in pediatric subjects. The study is in phase 4 and is expected to be completed in July 2019. Therefore, increasing research on cephalosporin drugs is expected to create a favorable environment for the cephalosporin drugs market growth over the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

Increasing prevalence of respiratory tract infections worldwide is expected to boost the cephalosporin drugs market growth. For instance, according to the report of The Global Impact of Respiratory Disease in 2017, lower respiratory tract infection and pneumonia are two of the leading causes of death, accounting for over 4 million fatalities, annually. Furthermore, pneumonia killed 920,136 children aged under 5 years in 2015, accounting for 15% of the deaths in this age group. Streptococcus pneumoniae remains the most frequent bacterial cause of pneumonia, accounting for deaths of 393,000 children aged under 5 years in 2015.

However, factors such as increasing Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalls is hindering the cephalosporin drugs market growth. For instance, in June 2019, Lupin Limited recalled 18,604 bottles (60 ml) of Cefdinir (Cephalosporin) for Oral Suspension, used for the treatment of bacterial infections, from the U.S. market. Furthermore, in January 2019, the company announced recall of 287,784 bottles of Cefdinir for Oral Suspension in the U.S. due to CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) deviations.
