Biofilms Treatment Market Analysis

The increasing incidence of wounds and infections and the spread of biofilms on medical devices increase the demand for biofilm treatment thereby boosting the market globally. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence of biofilms is an additional factor that is expected to increase market growth during the forecast period. According to some studies, biofilms are present in 60 to 100% of chronic wound samples. This factor represents biofilms' faster and spatial distribution in chronic wounds, which would require optimal treatment of the biofilms. Technological improvements, the development of novel products, and the entry of new players in biofilm treatment are likely to expand the market at the global level. Factors such as rising infections related to biofilms and antibiotic resistance, as well as the high cost and low adoption of advanced wound care products, are also potential restraints hampering the overall growth of the global biofilm treatment market.  

Biofilms Treatment Market Overview

Rising healthcare expenditure, an aging population more prone to chronic wounds, new product launches, and favorable reimbursement scenarios drive market growth. Regulatory authorities are increasingly recognizing the impact of biofilm-related infections on public health. Strict regulations and guidelines are being developed to prevent and treat biofilm-related infections, increasing the demand for compliant biofilm treatment solutions. Companies actively pursue technological advances and innovations to improve biofilm treatment beyond traditional methods. These innovations may include the development of advanced wound dressings with improved antimicrobial properties, the integration of smart materials to detect and combat biofilms, and the exploration of targeted drug delivery systems to respond to bacteria embedded in biofilms. Additionally, research efforts are underway to utilize new technologies, such as biotechnology and nanotechnology, for developing more effective and efficient solutions for biofilm treatment.

Biofilms Treatment Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Incidence of Chronic, Surgical, and Traumatic Wounds to Favor Market

According to the International Diabetes Federation study—Global and regional diabetes prevalence estimates for 2019 and projections for 2030 and 2045—the prevalence of diabetes in 2019 was around 9.3% that is about 463 million people. It is expected to reach 10.2% that is around 578 million, by 2030. Biofilms also significantly impact the lungs and digestive systems of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). More than 70,000 people live with CF worldwide, around 30,000 of whom live in the US. Biofilms in the CF lung is highly resistant to antibiotic treatment. They contribute significantly to the overall economic impact of CF, amounting to an estimated US$ 7,509 million per year worldwide. Moreover, advanced medical technologies have led to increase in number of surgeries. According to the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System, annually ~27 million surgical procedures are executed in the US, of which, around 5% result in surgical site infections.

Increasing Research in Emerging Economies– An Opportunity for Biofilms Treatment Market Growth

The increasing awareness regarding the importance of microbial biofilms in various sectors continues to reveal new opportunities for developing innovative technologies in translational research that can address their harmful effects and exploit their benefits. Ongoing research focuses on developing novel compounds that can be used with antibiotics to fight infections. Advanced strategies or innovative approaches are required to prevent and eradicate clinically important infections, especially at the nanoscale. Understanding how biofilms promote infection and antibiotic resistance is critical to developing effective approaches to treat infections caused by nosocomial pathogens. The synthesis of advanced multifunctional nanomaterials that simultaneously enable diagnosis and therapy has become an area of great interest in contemporary research. Advances in transcriptomics, metabolomics, and transposon-based next-generation sequencing may reveal new genetic targets for biofilm research.

In the meantime, novel antibiofilm agents targeting biofilm-specific bacterial components must be discovered. Nanoparticle-based antibiofilm agents represent an emerging area of research that has shown promising results in combating bacterial biofilms, particularly when multiple agents are used. In April 2021, MSU expanded its biofilm research capabilities with a US$ 513,000 grant from the Murdock Trust. Therefore, the ongoing studies and research are expected to positively impact the biofilms treatment, thereby providing lucrative opportunities for market growth.
