The global acinetobacter pneumonia therapeutics market size is expected to reach USD 470.96 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.70% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Several factors are responsible for driving market growth including a high incidence of acinetobacter infections, rising antibiotic resistance, extensive R&D, and favorable government initiatives & funding, and rising drug resistance. Acinetobacter baumannii is a major pathogen responsible for causing hospital-acquired infections in hospitalized patients. The pathogen causes ventilator-associated pneumonia and bloodstream infection. This strain of microorganisms has been reported to be multidrug-resistant and can spread extremely fast.
The treatment of this microorganism can be challenging and is hampered due to the multidrug resistance of the Acinetobacter baumannii. Combination therapy is the most widely used treatment for these kinds of infections. The first line of treatment for acinetobacter pneumonia includes drug classes, such as B-lactam antibiotics, cephalosporins, carbapenem, fluoroquinolone, sulbactam, and sulfonamide. The therapeutics are used in monotherapy or as part of combination therapy depending on the severity of illness. In case the first-line treatment is not effective, second-line antibiotics are administered, which include drug classes, such as aminoglycoside, polymyxins, tetracycline, and glycylcycline. These drugs are considered second-line due to their adverse effects.
