The global antifungal agent market is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period. Fungal infections have become a major health concern around the globe in recent years. In addition, the occurrence of nosocomial infections is fueling market expansion. Growing cancer occurrences, an increase in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and other conditions that impair the immune system are all contributing to the rise of nosocomial infections. As a result of a weakened immune system, fungal infections become more common, fueling market expansion.

Furthermore, the market's expansion is being hampered by the substantial side effects of antifungal medications used to treat fungal infections. Government rules are projected to stifle the market's expansion. For instance, in 2020, the US FDA published guidance on the approval of antibacterial and antifungal drugs. According to the US FDA, antibacterial and antifungal drugs will only be allowed if they are meant to treat a significant life-threatening infection in a small group of patients with unmet needs.
