The increasing transmission of strep throat is poised to drive the expansion of the pharyngitis treatment market. Strep throat is a contagious bacterial infection primarily affecting the throat and tonsils. Swift and effective treatment of strep throat with antibiotics is crucial for symptom relief, complication prevention, and reducing the risk of spreading the infection to others. For example, as of June 2022, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a US-based government agency, reveals an annual occurrence of approximately 14,000 to 25,000 cases of invasive group A strep disease in the United States. Furthermore, strep-related diseases prompt 5.2 million outpatient visits and result in 2.8 million antibiotic prescriptions each year. Thus, the increased transmission of strep throat is a significant driver of growth in the pharyngitis treatment market.
The increasing incidence of influenza is expected to drive the growth of the pharyngitis treatment market. Influenza, commonly referred to as the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. Pharyngitis treatment is commonly used to manage the symptoms of influenza, including inflammation and irritation of the throat. These treatments are aimed at alleviating discomfort, relieving allergies, and preventing complications such as pneumonia and bronchitis. For example, in July 2023, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), a Sweden-based government agency, reported that during the 2022/2023 influenza season in the EU/EEA, the percentage of positive influenza specimens reached 42% in week 51 of 2022, with positivity remaining around 28% from week 5 to week 12 of 2023. As a result, the rising incidence of influenza is driving the growth of the pharyngitis treatment market.
Major companies operating in the pharyngitis treatment market are focusing on developing innovative solutions like oral monotherapy to improve patient compliance and offer effective, convenient treatment options. Oral monotherapy refers to using a single medication administered orally to treat a specific condition, rather than combining multiple treatments.

For example, in December 2023, Novartis AG, a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical company, received FDA approval for Fabhalta (iptacopan), marking it as the first oral monotherapy for adults with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). This approval provides a significant advancement by offering a new treatment that enhances hemoglobin levels, removing the need for blood transfusions.
