The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising global bioterrorism threats, growing demand for medical countermeasures, increasing awareness of anthrax exposure risks, increasing government funding for bioterrorism preparedness, rising bioterrorism prevention budgets worldwide. Major trends in the forecast period include partnerships between pharmaceutical companies and governments, advancement of rapid diagnostic tools for anthrax detection, development of newer and more effective monoclonal antibodies, development of biosimilars, advances in targeted delivery systems.
The increasing occurrence of zoonotic diseases is expected to significantly drive the growth of the obiltoxaximab (Anthim) market in the coming years. Zoonotic diseases are infections that spread from animals to humans, either directly or through contact with animal products or vectors such as insects. The rise in zoonotic diseases can be attributed to factors such as greater human-wildlife interaction, urbanization, climate change, and international travel, all of which facilitate the transmission of infections from animals to humans. This growing incidence of zoonotic diseases underscores the need for effective treatments such as obiltoxaximab (Anthim), which targets anthrax, a dangerous zoonotic infection, offering crucial protection amid the increasing frequency of outbreaks. For instance, in December 2023, the World Health Organization reported 684 suspected cases of anthrax across nine out of ten provinces in Zambia, with four confirmed deaths, highlighting the severity of the outbreak. The growing number of zoonotic disease cases will drive the demand for obiltoxaximab (Anthim) in the market.
The expansion of the obiltoxaximab (Anthim) market is also driven by rising healthcare expenditure. Healthcare expenditure refers to the total amount spent on medical services, treatments, hospital care, pharmaceuticals, and other related services. Factors such as an aging population, the rise of chronic diseases, and increased demand for healthcare services are contributing to higher healthcare spending. The growing healthcare expenditure ensures greater access to advanced treatments such as obiltoxaximab (Anthim), as it supports funding for research, procurement, and the deployment of critical therapies needed to manage zoonotic diseases and bioterrorism threats. For example, in May 2024, the Office for National Statistics reported that healthcare expenditure in the UK had increased by 5.6% between 2022 and 2023, marking a significant rise from the 0.9% growth in 2022. This upward trend in healthcare spending is expected to propel the growth of the obiltoxaximab (Anthim) market.
