North America Anti-Infective Agents Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Type, Range, Route of Administration, Indication, and Distribution Channel

The anti-infective agents market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 45,331.11 million in 2021 to US$ 55,179.54 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2022 to 2028.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is a major factor behind the growth of the North America anti-infective agents market. Chronic diseases are conditions that develop over an extended period due to a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral variables. The four primary categories of NCD are diabetes, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma), and cardiovascular disorders (including heart attacks and stroke). The rising prevalence of anti-infective resistance, which has now become a public health issue, poses a hazard to human health. Anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic drugs are anti-infectives that work to prevent or treat infections. Antibiotics are chemically derived antimicrobial medications that cure and prevent bacterial illnesses by eradicating or preventing their growth. Azithromycin, clarithromycin, and erythromycin are examples of macrolides, which have historically been the main antibiotic classes, studied for their potential role in the secondary prevention of coronary heart diseases.

The study of cancer genesis has advanced to the cellular and molecular levels due to the rapid growth of contemporary science and technology, particularly biomedicine, in the 20th century. Modern cell biology describes malignancies as a group of biological illnesses distinguished by aberrant cell proliferation. Since every cancer begins in a single cell, cancers are also diseases that include alterations in the structure and function of genetic material. Since cancer cells proliferate, they pass on their malignant activity to their offspring (DNA). In the meantime, cancer formation and incidence are also promoted by the invasive growth and spread of cancer cells. One of the most significant classes of antibiotics with their unique inhibitory effects on malignancies is the anti-cancer class. Several antibiotics' anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, and anti-epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) properties have been employed in the treatment of cancer. Thus, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the North America anti-infective agents market.

Vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets with new features and technologies. This factor is likely to drive the North America anti-infective agents market at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
