Candidiasis, a fungal infection caused by the overgrowth of Candida species, commonly affects areas such as the mouth, throat, gut, and genital regions. The primary methods of treating candidiasis involve antifungal medications, which can be either topical (applied to the affected area) or oral (ingested), depending on the severity and location of the infection.
Candidiasis therapeutics encompass various treatment approaches, including medication, surgery, and other interventions. Medication involves the use of pharmaceutical drugs to manage or alleviate the condition. The treatments target specific anatomical sites such as oral candidiasis, vulvovaginal candidiasis, cutaneous candidiasis, invasive candidiasis, and systemic candidiasis. These medications can be administered through various routes, including injectable, oral, and others, catering to both adult and pediatric patients. The end-users for these treatments include hospitals, homecare settings, specialty clinics, and other healthcare facilities.
The candidiasis therapeutics market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides candidiasis therapeutics market statistics, including candidiasis therapeutics industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a candidiasis therapeutics market share, detailed candidiasis therapeutics market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the candidiasis therapeutics industry. This candidiasis therapeutics market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The candidiasis therapeutics market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.19 billion in 2024 to $3.3 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased incidence of candidiasis, antibiotic use and resistance, hospital-acquired infections, shift in fungal resistance patterns, awareness and education programs.
The candidiasis therapeutics market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.83 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to precision medicine approaches, global antifungal stewardship programs, increasing prevalence of candida auris, global efforts against antifungal resistance. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in drug delivery technologies, telemedicine and remote patient monitoring, patient-centric care, combination therapies, collaborative research initiatives.
The increasing prevalence of fungal infections is expected to drive the growth of the candidiasis therapeutics market. Fungal infections, which affect the skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs, are more common in individuals with weakened immune systems. This growing incidence of infections, particularly candidiasis, creates opportunities for manufacturers to develop and provide specialized, effective antifungal drugs that target the underlying pathogens. These drugs aim to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, promote recovery, reduce the spread of Candida infections in healthcare settings, and improve patient outcomes. For instance, in January 2024, the University of Minnesota, a U.S.-based research institution, reported that fungal infections cause more than 3.75 million deaths annually, with about 2.55 million deaths directly linked to fungal diseases. As a result, the rising number of fungal infections is expected to propel the candidiasis therapeutics market.
The increasing number of clinical trials is expected to further fuel the growth trajectory of the candidiasis therapeutics market. Clinical trials serve as pivotal research studies aimed at assessing the safety and efficacy of novel medical treatments, interventions, drugs, or devices in human subjects. Within the domain of candidiasis therapeutics, these trials play a crucial role by offering a systematic and stringent evaluation platform for testing the safety and effectiveness of potential treatments. As reported by ClinicalTrials.gov in May 2023, the number of registered clinical trials surged to around 437,533 in 2023, compared to 399,499 registered studies in 2022 across all 50 states of the United States and spanning 221 countries. This increase underscores the rising momentum and significance of clinical trials in shaping the landscape of candidiasis therapeutics. Consequently, the burgeoning number of clinical trials emerges as a key factor driving the growth of the candidiasis therapeutics market.
Leading companies operating within the candidiasis therapeutics market are dedicatedly engaged in developing innovative drugs, such as BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp tablets), aimed at mitigating the occurrence of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) in adult women. BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp tablets) constitutes an oral, non-azole medication designed for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and reducing the incidence of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), commonly known as chronic yeast infections. For instance, in December 2022, Scynexis Inc., a prominent US-based pharmaceutical company, secured approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for BREXAFEMME (ibrexafungerp tablets). The medication targets Candida albicans, the fungus responsible for VVC, by obstructing its growth. Notably, BREXAFEMME is deemed a safe and effective treatment option for vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), available solely through prescription, with a recommended dosage of one 150-mg capsule taken orally once daily for a single day. This innovative drug stands as a promising advancement in addressing candidiasis, offering a viable treatment solution while navigating potential concerns related to adverse drug effects.
In May 2023, GSK plc, a prominent UK-based pharmaceutical company, finalized the acquisition of Licensing rights for ibrexafungerp from Scynexism Inc. in a transaction amounting to $90 million. This strategic acquisition grants GSK exclusive rights to further the development and commercialization of ibrexafungerp drugs, a groundbreaking antifungal medication designed for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). The acquisition is aimed at expediting the advancement and market availability of ibrexafungerp. Scynexism Inc., a notable US-based pharmaceutical company specializing in therapeutic solutions for fungal diseases, including candidiasis, initially developed this innovative medication.
