The global Antibiotic Resistance Market size is estimated to reach USD 12.07 billion by 2025. According to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., it is anticipated to post a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Rising burden of antibiotic-resistant infections and emergence of multi-drug resistant pathogens has been driving the market.

Biotech companies that are developing therapies for antibiotic-resistant infections include Melinta Therapeutics, Achaogen, and Nabriva Therapeutics. On the other hand, majority of large pharmaceutical companies don’t find this market lucrative enough due to slower growth in revenues for marketed drugs and lower return on investments. For instance, Novartis recently discontinued development of its antibacterial drugs for antibiotic resistance.

Manufacturers can obtain the Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation, which escalates the clinical review process for antibacterial therapies targeting high priority pathogens. The QIDP designation enables faster access to targeted agents and was introduced under the GAIN (Generating Antibiotic Incentives Now) Act, passed in 2012 as an extension to the U.S. FDA Safety and Innovation Act. The legislation aims to encourage the development of novel therapies for growing burden and severity of infections with antibiotic resistance.
