Key Findings:

• Data on antimicrobial use for 2022 was reported by 29 countries, which include two European Economic Area (EEA) countries, namely Iceland and Norway, and 27 EU member states. One country, Cyprus, reported the total consumption for both sectors together, one country, Germany, reported only community consumption, and twenty-seven countries published consumption data for the hospital and community sectors separately.
• The unit of measurement is the number of specified daily doses (DDD) per 1,000 inhabitants per day for antimicrobial usage. Both 2022 and historical data were analysed using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) categorisation index with Defined Daily Doses (DDDs) 2023.
• In 2022, antibacterials for systemic use, ATC group J01 population-weighted mean daily consumption per 1,000 inhabitants across the community and hospital sectors together was 19.4 DDD in the EU. The population-weighted mean consumption in the EU for the 10-year period 2013–2022 decreased statistically significantly, though this is an enormous increase compared with 2020 and 2021. Bulgaria and Cyprus recorded a statistically significant upward trend over the past ten years.
• Slow progress towards achieving the EU's 20% reduction target by 2030 is made, evidenced by the 2.5% population-weighted mean total consumption of antibacterials for systemic use in the baseline year of 2019.
• Just 10 (36%) of the countries (one EEA and nine EU Member States) reached or exceeded the EU target in 2022 that by 2030, at least 65% of antibiotic use is from the "Access" group, as categorized by WHO's AWaRe framework for antibiotics. From 2019 onward, the share of the EU member states that reach or exceed the target of 65% has been stable.
• During the five-year period 2018–2022, there was no statistically significant trend in the overall consumption of antimycotics and antifungals for systemic use (ATC groups J02 and D01B) throughout the community and hospital sectors combined. On the other hand, parenteral amphotericin B (ATC code J02AA01) usage rose sharply.

Market Drivers

Lack of Political will by LMIC Governments

• It refers to the political will of political leaders and bureaucrats, which defines political will as "the commitment of political leaders and bureaucrats to take actions in pursuit of a set of objectives and to bear the costs of those actions over time." Political will of an incumbent government is one of the important factors determining budgetary allocations, public-private partnerships, decision-making, and inflow of finances and/or technical expertise into a country.27 Since political will encourages the preparation and implementation of NAPs on AMR, it is an important element required for LMICs to reduce improper use of antibiotics. Lack of political will in LMICs leads to an inadequately developed or no regulatory framework for prevention of AMR and misuse of antibiotics. Lack of political will is the only barrier stopping the development and implementation of NAPs in LMICs.

Key Findings:

• Co-packaged for intravenous use, XACDURO (durlobactam for injection; sulbactam for injection) received FDA approval from Innoviva Speciality Therapeutics in May 2023.
• The novel Siderophore Cephalosporin Antibacterial Drug Cefiderocol's drug application was approved for review in Taiwan in December 2022.

Market Opportunities

Growing Demand for Advanced Antibiotics to Combat Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria

• An emerging public health concern is the rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria. This situation calls for antibiotics with more advanced efficacy against such resistant pathogens. MDR bacteria are resistant to more than one antibiotic because they have been used in excess in health care and agriculture. The high rate of pathogen resistance development in response to excessive use and misapplication of available drugs necessitates the formulation of novel mechanisms of action in antibiotics to fight infections.
• The present scenario and factors influencing the healthcare space worldwide make governments and healthcare systems focus on controlling MDR outbreaks. This, in turn, presents opportunities for pharma and biotech companies to innovate in this area. The regulatory bodies are also bringing in streamlined approval pathways and incentives for next-generation antibiotics. This market dynamic not only addresses an urgent medical need but also opens avenues for companies to establish themselves as leaders in combating antibiotic resistance, thereby working toward better patient outcomes and global health security.

Market Restraining Factors

The Economics of Antibiotic Demand Failures

• The primary issue with antibiotic use from both a demand and use perspective is that the willingness (ability) to pay for antibiotics does not correspond well with their societal worth. This means that while some people are willing to pay for antibiotics when their use is of little value (either due to a lack of knowledge about their proper use or because they are used for non-medical activities with relatively low social value), others cannot afford them when their use would be highly socially valuable (usually because antibiotics are expensive or impossible to access when use would be highly efficacious). This is inefficient as well as unfair. But this is not the only market failure that leads to resistance; antibiotic use (and consequently resistance) is more common than it would be otherwise due to market failures in infection prevention, and sub optimally high resistance is also caused by incorrect internalisation of the cost of environmental pollution from pharmaceutical production..

Segmentation Analysis
