It works against the fungal infection by either killing the fungal cells or constraining their growth. 

The antifungal drugs market is attributed to the rising prevalence of fungal infections; increasing incidences of cancers, HIV, and hospital-acquired infections; and favorable government initiatives to combat the antifungal diseases. However, a lack of awareness regarding fungal infections is hampering the growth of the market.

The antifungal drugs market is segmented on the basis of infection type, drug type, therapeutic indication, dosage form, and geography. The report offers insights and in-depth analysis of the antifungal drugs market, emphasizing various parameters such as market trends, technological advancements, and market dynamics, as well as the competitive landscape analysis of leading market players.

Rising Prevalence of Fungal Infections Bolsters Antifungal Drugs Market Growth

Fungal infections are mainly caused due to microscopic fungi, which are commonly found in the atmosphere. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the US, from 2013 to 2017, the average incidence of fungal infection was ~9 per 100,000 people. Candidemia is among the most common bloodstream infections in the US. CDC predicts that approximately 25,000 cases of candidemia occur across the country every year. There has been significant variation in the rates of candidemia by age group. The rates have reduced considerably in infants. Candidemia rates are majorly high in people aged above 65 and older. The difference in the incidence of candidemia is due to age, race, alteration in underlying circumstances, socioeconomic status, and other factors.

Moreover, due to the tropical climate, South Asia has a high frequency of fungal infections. For instance, according to a report published by the Down To Earth organization in 2015, infection from yeast is 0.8 among 1,000 patients in the US. Moreover, the incidence is 0.2 and 0.9 per 1,000 patients in Europe and Australia, respectively. However, in India, approximately 1-12 cases occur in every 1,000 patients that are affected by the fungal infection. Therefore, the demand for antifungal drugs is increasing owing to providing treatment that helps maintain the proper immunity of the patients. Thus, the rising cases of fungal infections is likely to drive the market for antifungal drugs in the coming years.

Infection Type-Based Insights

Based on infection type, the global antifungal drugs market is bifurcated into superficial fungal infection and systemic antifungal infection. In 2018, the superficial fungal infection segment held a larger share of the market, and it is also expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. The rising prevalence of fungal infection of the skin, nails, and hair is likely to increase the growth of the antifungal drugs market during the forecast period.
