The global phage therapy market is anticipated to observe impressive growth during the forecast period, 2023-2027. The major factors include growing incidences of foodborne diseases, anti-biotic infections, and extensive research and development. Phages, also known as bacteriophages, are viruses that only kill and selectively target bacteria. They are the most common biological entities found in nature, effectively fighting, and destroying multi-drug-resistant bacteria. They are used to treat or stop bacterial infections in patients’ bodies. The other factors supporting the market’s growth are, the increasing application of bacteriophage across the food and beverage industry, increasing government investments, rising awareness among the masses, and technological advancements.

High Prevalence Rate of Foodborne Diseases and Anti-Biotic Infections

The rise in the prevalence rate of foodborne diseases and anti-biotic infections across the globe is expected to enhance the market’s growth. Foodborne infections are caused by rotten food, as pathogenic bacteria and viruses are present in them. Bacteriophages are extremely specific to target bacteria. Its usage targets a specific bacterial species and significantly reduces off-target effects on the microbiome or human patient, as bacteriophages do not directly affect human cells. According to the WHO, in 2019, forecasted that about 600 million people will become ill and 420,000 will die because of contaminated food resulting in the loss of 33 million healthy life years. Also, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2019, approximately 2 million people in the United States will contract an antibiotic-resistant infection, with at least 23,000 people dying every year.

Increasing Investment

Heavy investments to support phage therapy by the government is the rising healthcare expenditure which helps in improving its infrastructure. Also, various government and lead companies across the globe are investing in clinical trials and R&D Activities, which is propelling the growth of the market. For instance, in 2016, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a part of the National Institutes of Health, was granted US$ 5 Mn for 24 research projects to develop advanced therapies such as bacteriophage therapy and others for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Emergence of e-Commerce

Emergence of e-Commerce is bolstering the growth of the market. Several biotech market players are starting to set up online pharmacies of bacteriophage preparations to make phages and phage therapies available across the globe. For instance, in 2020, Ridgeway, a Digital agency, launched a new e-Commerce website for Optibac probiotics, to build on customer compliance and repeat purchase of phage therapy supplements.
